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

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

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?

There’s an example right in the article.

Historical events portrayed realistically is one.

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

Although there is nothing realistic about it all. But it satisfies the expectations of someone who doesn't know anything about history.

You already clicked. It doesn't matter anymore.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
