Wondering if there’s some sort of big list of channels whose videos are known to be mostly or entirely AI stuff, whether the text, the narrator or other details. It’s really annoying to start watching and noticing something “off”, only to check the channel and notice that it’s been pumping out 25-30min videos every 2 days for the past year.

It’s easy to avoid the AI animation stuff, but it’s annoying when you’re looking for history, psychology, science and other stuff.

    No possible way it could be maintained. Youtube allows anyone with an email address to make a channel, and AI tools are cheap or free, and people can make bank by getting their shitty AI-narrated fake documentaries in front of enough people, so there are thousands popping up and getting suggested on people’s feeds every single day. Most originate in other countries and most don’t even succeed so it’s just millions of dead channels with a few shitty AI clips, with fresh new ones popping up all the time.

    I also don’t know how you could prevent abuse of such an app from users reporting channels that just talk about AI or even completely bogus campaigning from hateful groups.
