YouTube’s system for suppressing low-quality AI content mistakenly targeted Kurzgesagt, leaving the channel with its worst-performing upload since 2013.
Yet YouTube Music is absolutely rife with AI bullshit. So much fake-ass viking, cowboy, or other ‘badass’ AI generated slop.
thats why im always hitting the report button. be part of the solution. not passively part of the problem.
I would say that being part of the solution is not using their service at all.
I’ve been craving a feature like that. Maybe it’s because I use YouTube Music Desktop, but there’s no damn report button!
Nothing in the mobile app, either ☹️.
Or “just discovered” 1970s Berlin krautrock space stuff… it’s all nonsense
As someone who likes Tyr, Hulkoff, Skald, and Danheim I swear to fuck I want to beat someone’s head in with my musket stock. Seriously the quality just drops and I can only block so many channels, half tempted to just to download all their music and make a fucked up mega playlist on my phone.
Anyone know a good way to download YouTube music on Linux, preferably a program and not a website.
Up until a few months ago, I would normally use spotDL, a tool you gave a Spotify url and it’d search the same songs on multiple sites and download them, while tagging it with spotify’s metadata, which is quite clean. Absolutely amazing piece of software helped me build a good music library, but Spotify changed their api auth because of Anna’s archive scraping, requiring you to have premium just to have a useful api key, breaking spotdl for pretty much everyone.
I currently use just yt-dlp to pull from yt music, SoundCloud and bandcamp. It’s alright, metadata is bad tho, yt-dlp doesn’t tag very well out of the box. I’ve tried torrenting and soulseek, you can get some good quality (and big!) files, but can be hard to find niche artists (Argentinian hardbass sure is niche as hell)
I’d too be interested in a tool like that if anyone knows one.
YT-DLP is my go-to now. Can download one track or a playlist.
I was recently accused on Lemmy of using AI to write up a post (laced with links to appropriate Wikipedia articles).
I’m still not sure how I feel about it.
Oh you used a big word, AI phony!
Nah dude, I just . . . know how to write?
real human intelligence seems utterly alien in this world
This comment aims to illuminate the complexities of being seen as a sesquipedalian. Let’s delve dee … (token limit reached)
It really doesn’t help that in the US there’s a major literacy crisis.
I’m still not sure how I feel about it.
That’s because machines don’t have feelings. /s
This is the shit state of the world now. Everything gets accused of being AI by someone. The AI tech bros have well and truly won. They’ve poisoned everything.
I’d argue that the Fuck_AI crowd who slanders and also sexually harasses people are helping them. I hate this big tech companies just as much as they do. I’m not going to sexually harass someone I think is using their service though.
Did you use an emdash
Huh — Now that you say it.
No, I did not- 🤖I do use them, yes. Sometimes I’ll use them similar to parenthesis to insert an aside comment – a use case noted in Wikipedia. – though I add spaces before and after each one.
Well back in the day I when playing competitive fps in european ladder my own clanmates accused me of cheating
Its kinda of flattering, isnt it?
This is exactly why I hold anti-AI folk in low regard, because they have yet to demonstrate their “detection” abilities to discern between human and generated creations. They are basically psychics and ghost whisperers.
It’s worse than that. They’re not just pretending about their abilities for clout. They’re actively following their emotions and attacking people they don’t like with AI accusations or just plain old harassment. I’ve been sexually harassed by these assholes.
This seems like an overgeneralization. Just like they do, you do here.

As AI gets better this is increasingly true too. Back when it was irregular fingers it was a lot easier. And tbh, there is plenty of AI content I don’t really mind.
Its often ok. It doesn’t have to be great if there is little to no high quality human made content to compare it to in the same niche. I don’t think any human artists have made an album about the Isstvan massacre.

How on Earth are there warhammer fans who haven’t heard of Bolt Thrower?
Reminds me of that comic the other day
Kurzgesagt: Let’s keep our art human made.
Google: Kurzgesagt, your content looks like this low quality AI slop!
🤖: I’D LIKE TO THANK KURZGESAGT FOR BEING A BIG INSPIRATION TO ME.
At the same time YouTube offers a prompt to generate more AI content.
No, this is just a stunt to claim that it is difficult to detect AI slop, when in reality they want that content as it is more addictive, especially to kids.
Intentional stunt? That’s highly unlikely.
It is difficult to detect AI slop, probably exponentially so when it’s a video compared to image or text. I don’t know why you said it like there’s a ready to use solution YouTube isn’t using for some reason.
Vacuum up the internet, provide generative “AI” for people to spew tons of garbage on to the internet. Everyone hates AI, and advertisers don’t want ads showing against AI slop. AI can’t accurately detect AI and kills real content providers that advertisers want to show ads for.
Brilliant. What will they come up with next?
YouTube’s bullshit is having some interesting effects for sure. Have you noticed how more and more channels are now including short clips of them doing the actual voiceover? It’s usually not even that long, like a second or two or sometimes even less. But apparently that’s now needed to prove that there’s an actual human behind the channel.
I do find it a bit distracting, but I’d rather not lose those channels either…
Even that doesn’t always work. There is one channel I know of that got auto banned despite using live shots of everyone doing live introductions of their stories.
This shit reminds me of that helicopter gunner scene in Full Metal Jacket:
“Everyone who doesn’t show their face is an AI. Everyone who does show their face is a well-disciplined AI.”
Problem is that most people and automated systems are downright terrible at figuring out what’s actually AI. Even AI itself can’t always tell if it’s AI.
I’ve had people accuse my posts on social media as AI, just because I can write more than two sentences without spelling errors. Since they can’t, they think nobody can…
So now I tend to leave the occasional delibarete spelling mistake just so people don’t think this was written by ChatGPT. Unless I put that in my prompt, obviously 😂
I don’t. If they can’t read or spell, fuck 'em. I have no interest in talking to stupid people. Nor am I interested in stupid people that have no interest in continuing to learn and try new things. There are a surprising number of adults that refuse to do so.
We need decentralized video platforms that have revenue sharing.
is Youtube/Google speed running their death?
Not sure it’s possible to fight machine generated slop on the big platforms now. People who invest a lot of time and effort are being squeezed out. Businesses that don’t give a fuck about quality upload multiple low effort videos a week across multiple channels getting massive views, probably most from gaming the system.
Sad for the people who spend months researching, writing and producing videos but this might be the end of the ride as far as making videos as a day job. The platform doesn’t value them or their loyal viewers.
The creators facing burnout who don’t leave out of disgust will join the slop machine and start championing it. Starting to see it already.
we need an option to report obvious AI use in videos. currently there is no option to report ai
that’s what happens when your AI slop detector is AI slop
Nah thats correct kurzgesagt is slop
I don’t understand. I have more slop AI content than ever
I am super sceptical of anything made in the last year. Youtube will close to being worthless if the trend continues.
Last 15+ years for me
I guess the only way to be sure is to watch live sporting events. Maybe one of the side effects of this LLM boom is that F1, MLB, NBA, etc will have more viewers.
AI slopt censoring AI slopt
İt feels like humans have no rights to speak or dislike or express any opinion online only fake numbers matters and the best part is ai slop is feeding from ai slop to make more ai slop ı wonder when this nonsense comes to end
