There is a huge audience for AI-generated content on YouTube, though admittedly many of them are oblivious to the fact that they are watching AI-generated content. Here are several examples of videos with 1 million views that people don't seem to realize are AI-generated: * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxvTjrsNtxA * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfDnMpuSYic These videos do have some editing which I believe was d…

Hot take but I don't care if the content I consume is AI-generated or not. First of all, while sometimes I need high-effort quality content, sometimes I want my brain to rest and then AI-generated slop is completely okay. He who didn't binge-watch garbage reality TV can cast the first stone. Second, just because something is AI-generated it doesn't automatically mean it's slop, just like human-generated content isn't…

HN could use some of this. It'd be nice if there was a safe having from the equivalent of high grade junk mail.

we just need human attestation. A vial of blood per comment

I like the effort, but it's super restrictive. They exclude all of Substack on principle (but weirdly, allow blogspot.com and wordpress.com). They exclude anything that isn't a blog. And they exclude blogs that aren't updated often enough. The end result is that there's a lot of "small web" stuff that doesn't show up. Looking at my bookmarks, I think 90% of them are in the "small web" category in spirit, but maybe 10…

I understand the substack exclusion. The paywall is not user friendly. If you don't mind, it'd be cool to take a look at your bookmark domains so that I could potentially augment the filter on my site. If you're interested, my email is in bio.

So we have two universes. One is pushing generated content up our throats - from social media to operating systems - and another universe where people actively decide not to have anything to do with it. I wonder where the obstinacy on the part of certain CEOs come from. It's clear that although such content does have its fans (mostly grouped in communities), people at large just hate arificially-generated content. We…

you have a very narrow definition of "people" on Instagram AI content is highly popular, some videos have 50mil views and half a million likes

Your later point is hard to convey to people who don't want to hear it. I don't want AI content, even if it is as good, or even if it were better. The human element IS the point, not an implementation detail. An AI song about sailing at sea is meaningless because I know the AI has never sailed at sea. This is a standard we hold humans to, authenticity is important even for human artists, why would we give AI a pass o…

> An AI song about sailing at sea is meaningless because I know the AI has never sailed at sea. Human singers often sing about topics they have no authentic experience with. Some pop singers exclusively sing songs written by other people. You're entitled to dislike AI music, but I think your attempt to justify this dislike doesn't hold up to scrutiny.
