    Why do these people having such a hard time coming up with articles? YouTube ones? Like as in 20% of 60% TikTok slop is YouTube slop? Does 20% of 40% YouTube slop?

    Ps. I know what they mean. They should have just said “while, YouTube is 20%” instead YouTube ones. punctuations. Makes a huge difference.

    I’m using various front ends for YouTube on different devices. Are there any that filter out AI like they do ads?

      It’s probably because the ai slop gets disproportionately promoted to the top, and once you accidentally watch one, that’s it, the algorithm decides that’s what you like now

    On Youtube, there are a multitude of new “hosts” like C.S. Lewis (a dead author), sitting at a desk and spewing almost legible gibberish (in an AI voice resembling their own) vaguely referring to their favorite topic. Also psychologists, historians, and more. I’ve started to look more and more for videos over three years old if I want a decent history program.

    Some are hours long. More and more, every day.

    Is that of newly uploaded content or overall? Because the latter is terrifying considering YouTube is 20+ years of content.

      I mean if you go to obscuretube or whatevs most vids are juat people doing random atuff so slightly surprising too. Guess most videos are actuallt just hidden tho… wonder how many are private.

      Also shorts probably make up almost all of the “ai slop”.

      Even considering that it doesn’t really stop being surprising I guess.

    I used to get a lot of the same AI panic-buy these items now for the coming economic collapse vids. 47 different channels saying “when the shelves are empty these are the 9 items nobody thinks to get” and it’s the same AI images of some dipshit in fatigues

    What are they classifying as ai slop? Cause in YouTube there is a lot of low effort content that aren’t slop, and there is also low effort content narrated by ai that I’d consider slop, and then there is actual ai slop

        Ehh there’s a lot of low effort content on youtube, but I don’t really see that much slop. Most of the low effort ones are just clips usually taken from twitch with minimal editing

      Everything produced using any amount of generative AI is slop, without exception. Hope this clears up the confusion.

        Of those 500 videos, 294 were classified as AI slop, a term Kapwing defines as videos with obvious AI-generated visuals or low-quality compilations using clearly AI-generated scripts and voiceovers. The 59 per cent rate is roughly three times the proportion found on YouTube in the same study, making TikTok’s default experience dramatically worse for anyone opening the app for the first time.

        I looked up the article the og source referenced, which does say what they defined as ai slop.

        The original article isn’t helpful because statistics don’t mean anything if they don’t also define what they’re measuring, and they cut the definition short.

    Yup. This is, in part, why I leave some of my mistakes in my videos. That’s the easiest way to prove to people that my content isn’t AI without arguing about it.
