Children and seniors are victimized by AI content on a huge scale. Regular adults like most of us here don't ever get such videos in their feeds. I saw kids spend many hours a day watching automatically generated videos. Not always AI-generated, sometimes it's AI-assisted and procedurally generated.

Elderly fall for slop due to bad vision and bad hearing.

i think its because their brains are rapidly deteriorating, combined with the fact they grew up in a "high trust" world where most people believed everything they heard.

Though I have noticed that this only blocks them from showing up in the feed, not in the recommendations sidebar. I also have to run uBlock to hide shorts, already-watched videos, subscriber-only stuff...ain't saying the YT experience is good, not by any stretch of the imagination.

> Yes, you can. You can click a button that makes a strong "suggestion" to the algorithim, which they will honor for as long as they feel like. I went through this a few years ago when the channel of a large far right "news" broadcaster kept being jammed on my front page, and the best I could do was keep hitting the button and have it it "temporarily" be removed from my front page before it would inevitably show up a…

Yes, this is true. I did notice that a bunch of channels I knew I had blocked started showing up again, but in my case it took 2-3 years. If it only lasts months for you, it's much less useful.

To be fair, it is entirely possible it works better today, than it did then. I was just so aggrivated at the time, thinking each time I had resolved it, only for it to appear again that I just gave up!

Here's a representative example that my father in law (in his 70s) shared with me the other day: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=puRg-4ZvNYs

somebody in the comments mentioned this is a point where the AI glitched out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puRg-4ZvNYs&t=150

Synthid is a watermark which indicates the video is AI-generated, not a digital signature indicating it's real. Completely different use case and threat model. I'm not aware of any secure digital signature schemes that don't require the thing they signed to be bit-for-bit identical to pass verification. There are perceptual hashing algorithms that could theoretically be used to build such a scheme, but such hashes ar…

I'm not even sure what you're hypothetically describing here. You want a system that authenticates that an image hasn't been manipulated, but which still allows you to compress and transcode it? It's feasible in the same way that synthid was feasible, but I don't think there's actually a use case for it. You either want it to be unedited or you don't. I'm not sure how you can say "edited, but only exactly this much e…

> You either want it to be unedited or you don't.

You want it visually identical but not necessarily bit-for-bit identical. Compression and transcoding should not cause validation to fail unless the compression artifacts are particularly severe, but even a tiny, one-pixel change that substantially alters the appearance of the photo should cause validation to fail.

And yes I agree this is hard to quantify and impossible with existing algorithms, that was my point.

The term “playing field” as far as I am aware usually implies the context of competitive sport, not play in the playful sense.

I know. I’m intentionally expanding the meaning.

what makes you think you can unilaterally expand a very well-accepted meaning of a term, especially in a discussion that is basically semantics of the term?

My dad (senior) was tricked by some GTA footage because the game graphics looked realistic enough. Perhaps it was modded because it looked nicer than I remember it, but nonetheless I'm concerned for the inevitable confusion from AI, in the hopeful assumption that it isn't already affecting his judgement.

Can't imagine how many people are gonna get fooled once GTA 6 drops. Pair that with AI video this realistic and we'll straight up have fake traffic news hitting the headlines.
