Interesting. Although it seems they are focusing primarily on detecting AI generated video and imagery. But most of the annoying slop videos I come across seem like they are using real footage/video clips. It's just edited together by AI and there's an AI narrator reading an AI script. I wonder if they'll do anything to guard against this type of junk
YouTube to automatically label AI-generated videos

Re: YouTube to automatically label AI-generated videos
#32The idea that you can automatically detect AI generated content seems misguided. It will make mistakes. I think I've heard of things being wrongfully tagged as AI generated on other platforms.
I suppose it all depends on the false positive and false negative rates. But better to start now, before AI ruins the platform. https://web.archive.org/web/20090418141450/http://www.theatl...
_before_? youtube is like the top 1000 creators / influencers / celebrities, 5% actual videos, and the rest is slop of various types for me.
The search is entirely gone and will straight up not list regular content that was made by humans, but it will absolutely surface the cheap AI-voices that can't say HVAC fluently.
Makes sense for youtube, too. For the average person, that seems to be enough, the ads are the same value, and people who dislike that probably have a large overlap with people who use adblockers and don't impulsively spend money on the latest browser-game, miracle cure for cancer, or financial advice from random scammers.

#34Donning my tinfoil hat for a moment, YouTube is in a position here to simultaneously iterate on automatic AI video detection while also working out how to make AI generated video that's impossible to detect.
"AI generated video that's impossible to detect" is already something many companies are working on; it's hardly Google-specific.
YouTube scale is Google specific

It already is quite impossible. Just generate something decent with lower quality. Then maybe take screen recording of the output. Voila.

#36"Please prove your content was created by a flawed biological organism."
Seems better than the alternative: "This content was created by a machine, but being pushed/promoted by a flawed money-grubbing biological organism".
Re: YouTube to automatically label AI-generated videos
#37That's great news. Hopefully there will be a filter to allow or disallow AI video on your homepage/feed.
They could use the same data to pay AI posters less and push their content more. Which will get you a promotion at Google.

Fair enough

#40I really wish there was a button to voluntarily say / tag your own content as AI assisted. The assumption that users will always hide this results in flaky auto detection.
