There’s an example right in the article.

Historical events portrayed realistically is one.

the subscription feed still and always has completely bypasses Youtube’s recommended brainrot anyway

Though they are messing with that too, on mobile there is a "Most Relevant" section on top. Though thankfully they are videos from your subs.
...for now.

I have no idea what this vibe is, but I would like to subscribe.

But why?

Like sure some of the voices are not great but the words being said are the thing I’m interested in and not the person / machine saying the words.

Each to their own and all that, I’m just curious as to why you just stop watching something you were seemingly enjoying.

Which is the second most scary thing AI can do.

The first is realistic portrayal of faked current events.

Because it's a sign to me that the content creator is willing to take shortcuts and be lazy. In which case I take the shortcut to being too lazy to watch their "content".

Did you try switching your VPN to a different country? Mine nearly always fails when my VPN points at my home country. But it nearly always works when I connect to another.

Too bad this probably still won't drive people to other platforms.

Being a monopoly does that, yeah.

Hate slop, but I also approve of anything that makes it easier to wrest IPs away from Hollywood. Feeling conflicted and pessimistic.

I like to approach things in life with positive intent, so seeing a video with an AI voice to me would make me assume that perhaps they don’t have a great voice or that they have a stammer so so an Ai voice allows them to still make content they want to.

I find that life is a lot better if you assume the best in people rather than assume the worse. And I can tell you that since I’ve taken this approach I’m a much happier person and it’s extremely rare that I give positive intent to someone with bad intentions so worth it for less stress and worrying about things all the time.

Do you think the same of channels that pay someone else to be the face of the channel or is it just Ai voices you have issue with?

Me looking at your username

Damn. I read the headline, and I almost thought it was a "Report AI Slop" button. What a feature that would be!

Unpopular opinion: the fact that said stuff matches my style / that I like it is what makes art worth anything to me. Being made by a person or a fish or a machine doesnt matter. It's the STUFF I want on my wall or the end table, not the fact that it's tacitly human crafted. Any art I can afford is made by someone who is basically a faceless deal, not someone I know personally (or else the person matters) or someone who is famous (in which the person matters). Ergo... the people don't typically matter.

Im not going to an insane restaurant to fanboy the chef, I'm going to eat the FOOD. If a machine makes it and every single dish is atomically identical, that's fine, as long as it's super tasty.

Because it signal to me that the content is low quality and untrustworthy

YouTube also defaults to it, so if you open it, and the video you want is already there, no need to jump to another page to load the exact same video.

Oh boy, a button that generates ai shorts. Combining my 2 least favorite things about YouTube.

If nobody bothered to make it why should anybody bother to watch it?

Signals to me that maybe the creator isn’t comfortable with their voice or maybe they can’t speak or have a stutter, but they still have something to say.
