This new level of content understanding & summarizing is huge.

My young son uses YouTube for tutorials to learn programming and 3D apps. But I really struggle because he's come across objectionable content as well, and the tools YouTube provides for moderation or filtering are completely worthless. They don't care. I'm only left to think they want our kids to see controversial and even radicalizing content because it increases engagement metrics.

AI that can prescreen videos?! Regaining some feeling of control and confidence about the content that comes into my house?! I AM SO IN!

I have no interest in censoring anyone else or limiting access for others. I just want to have some agency over what my kids are exposed to without removing the actual knowledge share advantages that the internet can and does provide.

Interesting application! It hadn't occurred to me. To my shame, the best I've come up with is to cut ads from influencers videos (make a rewind button).

I'll chime in with hearty agreement. Being able to let my son watch what he finds without my having to watch it all first (as I do now)? I hope this product/service is available in about 4-5 years, when he's at an age where his interests will hopefully start diverging from ours.

There are probably loads of other parents who would love this.
