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

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

This post did not contain any content.
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.

Delete your account.

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

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

We are not the same, I usually choose to watch people with an excess amount of bottom.

You can create different profiles on FreeTube to do exactly that.

Recognising the "AI voice" isn't just the voice. It's also the clearly "written by AI" circuitous script that keeps talking without saying anything and non-stop clickbait "but wait until you find out what the answer is" crap.
The other type of AI voice is people just stealing Reddit stories and putting them to AI. Also lame. I want my stories narrated with human emotion. The point of stories isn't to transfer knowledge, it's an art form, I don't need shitty robot emotions thank you very much.
So no, the use case for AI voice is very narrow. Some of my favorite YouTubers use text narration. Maybe they don't like their voice, or speak a different language, I don't know, I've literally never heard them. It doesn't stop them in the least from showing me amazing things. They don't need to resort to polluting their video with the lowest garbage idea humans have created so far.
I'd like to see a video that is improved by the use of any AI.

You’ve given a lot more context and use cases here that you oppose and I would agree with them for the most part, but I would push back on the people using text narration switching to an AI voice as a natural progression as the tool becomes more useful.
As for seeing a video that has been improved by AI I would hazard a guess you’re already watching them, if you think creators are not using LLMs to improve their workflow and efficiency then you’d be mistaken.
I can’t comment on any specifics but our company of software engineers have saved that many man hours from LLM integration, as a tool not just write code for us, that me and my 5 colleagues all got a pay rise and a reduction of weekly hours at the same time. So based on this I would assume that if used correctly and responsibly I don’t see why people in other industries can’t use the tool for similar benefits.

That would be all of it.
