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.

E.g. https://youtube.com/shorts/H2M0rSW9jhk

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 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.
