Re: YouTube now requires to label their realistic-looking videos made using AI
#12"made using AI" is such a fuzzy all-encompassing term that this feels like it will turn into another California Prop 65 warning scenario. Pretty soon every video will have a disclaimer like:
WARNING: This video contains content known to the State of Google to be generated by AI algorithms and/or tools.
Ok, beauty face filters are not included. How about character motion animations? How detailed does the after effects plugin need to be before it's considered AI? Can we generate just a background? Just a minor subject in the foreground? Or is it like pornography, where we'll recognize it once we see it?
I fear AI tools will soon become so embedded in normal workflows that it's going to become a question of "how much" not "contains", and "how much" is such a blurry, subjective line that it's going to make any binary disclaimer meaningless.

#14So beauty filters are ok, but what's the true difference between a strong beauty filter and a face change.

#15We need to fix the title. It's not just AI -- it's any realistic scene generated by VFX, animation, or AI. The title of the blogpost is "How we're helping creators disclose altered or synthetic content" -- it shouldn't say AI on the Hacker News title.
> Generating realistic scenes: Showing a realistic depiction of fictional major events, like a tornado moving toward a real town.
Does the Wizard of Oz tornado scene need a warning now? [0] (Of course not, but it may be hard to draw the line in some places.)

#17>Some examples of content that require disclosure include: [...] Generating realistic scenes: Showing a realistic depiction of fictional major events, like a tornado moving toward a real town. This sounds like every thumbnail on youtube these days. It's good that this is not limited to AI, but it also means this will be a nightmare to police.
Exactly, and many have done exactly the same kind of video using VFX. What's the difference?
These kind of reactions remind me of the stories of the backlash following the introduction of calculators in schools...

Society is simply revisiting a conversation about doctored photographs, videos, and audio recordings.
The last word on this subject was not written in the 1920s, it's good to revisit old assumptions every century or so, when new forms of media and media manipulation become developed.
The first pass on it is unlikely to be the best, or even the last one.

#19This is great. Really well-thought out policy, in my opinion. Sure, some people will try to get around the restrictions, especially nefarious actors, but the more popular the channel, the faster they'll get caught. It also doesn't try to distinguish between regular special effects and AI-generated special effects, which is wise.
Re: YouTube now requires to label their realistic-looking videos made using AI
#20Without enforceability it'll go the same way as it has on Pixiv, the good actors will properly label their AI utilizing work, while the bad actors will continue to lie to try to maximize their audience until they get caught, then rinse and repeat. Kind of like crypto-scammers.
For context, Pixiv had to deal with a massive wave of AI content being dumped onto the site by wannabe artists basically right as the initial diffusion models became accessible. They responded by making 'AI-generated' a checkbox to go with the options to mark NSFW and adding an option for users to disable AI-generated content from being recommended to them. Then, after an incident of someone using their Patreon style service to pretend to be a popular artist, selling commissions generated by AI to copy the artist's style, they banned AI-generated content from being offered through that service.
