off topic, but i hate that 90% of youtube is ai generated now. search results and recommendations in side bar have become useless.

I work very hard to downvote or block as much as I reasonably can. But I think the writing is on the wall.

Maybe YouTube will cater to those who don't know/care about AI generated content. Given that they make money on the spread between showing ads and views that are not monetized (I assume there is some lower threshold such that yt doesn't have to pay anything?). Those viewers might be a higher tier of ad consumer; one that is easier fooled and manipulated.

It's only going to get harder to detect AI voice. Sometimes they can talk for 15m before one syllable is mispronounced. I'm sure they are working on adding breath sounds and inflection.

Or if it gets bad enough, they will charge for a tier that requires human verification from the creators, perhaps.

If I'm doing research, I don't mind if it's AI but it should be clearly labelled and de-selectable.
