~20% of YouTube content is AI slop 😬

Saw this coming and is mostly why I no longer consume content on social media sites. The gold rush may lead to a grand crash.

Nah, they’re not going to tell you.

It’s probably more like ~70%

Er, is that an AI voiceover?! :rofl:

That’s the worst part for me. People making what would otherwise be great content, ruining it with an AI voice rather than using their own.

No. If you listen to him, he mentions that he is accused as such, but is not.

Have you tried the ā€œauto narrationā€ on YT videos? For english it it jumps between different language dialects from the video’s country of origin that it sounds borderline bigoted with the trope inflections.

Auto-AI-narration is one of the worst Google’s recent ā€œQoL improvementsā€ they brought to everyone without asking.

But yeah, disillusioning to see how totally generic, recycled memes, and now also AI-slop content gets far more impressions than content you put real work into. But that’s more or less how social media always has been.

(P.S. Who is up for another round of Harry Dresden memes?)

And… ? Don’t look at it if you don’t like it. No views make them disappear.

Not true. AI slop will continue to be made a breakneck pace even if you don’t watch it. Not watching it is going to make it go away, Techbros need to make their data centers to justify them juicing the markets and taking your investments to pay for it.

Most of YouTube is slop. AI generated, or not.

It’s gotta be way more than 20% at this point.
