many channels pretend to be human-made, but are just AI slop.
I like that it isn’t just a binary “yes/no”. IMCO there’s a big difference between using AI to generate a few assets/b-roll, and entirely automated video pipelines.
It struck me how seamlessly AI can now mimic human creativity, to the point where it’s nearly impossible to distinguish between human-made and AI-generated content.
And let any non trained people to subjectively judge if the content is AI generated? With the latest versions of video generation models we are already in the situation where only software can tell if some videos are AI generated or not. Lots of channels will be wrongly tagged.
Fair enough. Though I don’t know about your point regarding the software tools. The ones I tried had pretty bad accuracy (and were quite resource-intensive to run) So, I felt like the human-tagging way was still the most sensible way forward. At least for now, where there are still subtle cues that give AI-content away once in a while.
Adding a link to such a tool with “If you are unsure you can use xyz. Note that these are often inaccurate” would be enough to address this.
I think it’s a pretty good idea. I personally don’t have an issue seeing if it’s AI slop as for me, they seem to be still very obvious with cuts not making sense, the generic male or female voice or even script errors. However, I can see it for channels that are using it more in a hidden manner like JCS’ video “Newlyweds Tell on Each Other”, which has since been deleted because of the backlash.
What was the story with the JCS video?
It’s been hard to find good websites in top results of search engines. A lot of them are very well SEO tuned AI slop.
Especially on Duck Duck Go. Ugh. It’s so bad sometimes. You search for a topic and the first page is all blog style websites with rambling, garbage A.I. text.
I really need to switch to Kagi, but it’s American so I don’t want to give them money.
Mojeek and Ecosia are building their own index, and then you don’t need to subscribe to a service that’s all-in on AI
Every time I try mojeek it’s the worse experience ever. Ask Jeeves was more reliable.
Never heard of exosia tho have to try it.
I’m not really against AI (specifically text-based GenAI), but AI does change the reality of using the internet. I need to be able to promote trustworthy domains in my search results and accumulate such a list over years.
Brave search technically has such a feature, but firstly the owner is a homophobe, and secondly the feature isn’t really as power-user oriented as I’d like.
