YouTube Will Add an AI Slop Button Thanks to Google’s Veo 3
-
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".
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?

The vast majority of people stick with defaults, no matter how shitty they are.

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

Art is people making stuff, without the people... it's just stuff.
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.

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.
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.

Why would anyone want to watch AI generated content? What's the point? I get using AI generation as a tool but if there's no human intention behind it, just a pure algorithm, why even bother?
Because now there literally will be infinite content for doom scrolling addicts.

There’s an example right in the article.
Historical events portrayed realistically is one.
Although there is nothing realistic about it all. But it satisfies the expectations of someone who doesn't know anything about history.

Buttons and shorts? Yeah, I also like watching bottomless people sometimes.

You already clicked. It doesn't matter anymore.
I've clicked, but I have an ad-blocker, so... YouTube gained nothing from that.

Was still thinking that until I read this comment. Tiktok is unwatchable (I mean more than before even) because of this. Luckily longer videos are still hard to produce with AI

I've watched some mildly amusing Yeti campfire tutorials that were AI generated.

This was me once a month but now it's a few times a day.
Really? I very rarely come across it, and I use YouTube a lot. But when I do come across it I select "don't recommend channel again" and dislike the video.

The "Unhook" addon (increasingly required for Youtube now, in my opinion) will still completely block this as it blocks all shorts. Fuck shorts anyway. Also as TechnologyConnections pointed out in a recent video, the subscription feed still and always has completely bypasses Youtube's recommended brainrot anyway and allows you to subscribe to and follow the creators and topics you actually care about. Until we have a viable alternative to Youtube (and hopefully stuff like this will drive that to happen sooner rather than later) the other option is to stick to subscriptions as much as possible and only subscribe to creators that don't abuse this or use shorts at all, preferably.
The problem with the subscription feed is that it shows you every channel that you're subscribed to. If I only want to see cooking videos for example, then it has to be through the standard YouTube recommendations page. What it needs is the ability to manually group channels and let us choose which set of channels we want to see.
