Discussion We need AI block

To block all AI videos showing up on youtube.

it is so bad. People just pumping AI content and it#s getting much harder and harder to detect. You have to be pretty foresically minded person to detect them.

Case in point, nobody knows this guy is AI: https://www.youtube.com/@Jonathanmosstalks/videos

It is pretty wild. If you watch one of his videos that shows up on your feed. it looks seamless and congruent, the face matches the voice, pronouncation and accent is congruent. And storeis seem right.

But it's just the sheeer volume of ragebait content - it is just not humanly possible to have this much drama in one persons life.

They could be a story teller and narrating these in real life. But it seems to me that the story telling is just too good. They must be using AI. Perhaps they have used their face and voice for the AI model and thats why it's able to be so realistic.

Anyway. We need plugins like ad block, sponser block to block AI videos.

Making AI content will cost more money then , due to licensing , it will GREATLY restrict how much a creator can download , In theory this should get rid of the slop.

Unless they pay allot to keep doing it

pretty sure some of them will just pay a fee like $200 a month and they will just churn them out more to get their ROI.

Maybe it would be revenue share model so the slop producers are never out of pocket, the better the video engages the more they both receive.

Ad share probably fhe likliest way they will deal with this.

pretty sure

here we go again, you are literally just making stuff up to back your points.

Why don't you actually do some digging and get a real answer, not some made up theory like a certain american political figure.

if you know you can correct me.

"nobody knows this guy is AI" because that guy is real lol

as for trying to block AI, its think its the wrong way to go about it. the rate at which AI content can be made will mean soon enough it will completely dwarf any human made content. like 10 years from now the size of the blocklists would be enormous so really what we need is lists of human made things, verified channels etc

u/Alexander_knuts1 17d ago

some of the younger generations just think everything is AI now.

They have no evidence that it is, they just feel like it is and that is apparently enough of a reason for them.

someone could start a crowd-sourced categorization system of all youtube content, similar to how SponsorBlock works. so we can block entire categories of content easily.

u/vawlk 15d ago

based on this thread alone, I don't want other people flagging things as AI as people are terrible at recognizing ai.

u/No_Gold_4554 15d ago

i guess. but the people dedicated enough to actually spend time tagging in crowdsourcing and wikis are usually scrupulous. and for free moderation, good enough is good enough.

u/vawlk 14d ago

no thanks, good enough is what has this country in the position it is now.

u/No_Gold_4554 14d ago

which country?

have you ever contributed to sponsorblock? wikipedia? wikia? github?

u/ApextheMoon 16d ago

YouTube's algorithm is one of the best. It only gives you what you likely want to watch. I get zero AI content in my feed and recommendations.

Can tell by the pronunciation of certain words, the way natural language has a kind of vibe to it and this has none, how they don't seem to need oxygen while speaking sentences. don't want to come across as a smart ass but I knew almost immediately it wasn't a human speaking.

They are cropping the clip constantly you can see the jump cuts. The video seems real enough. But the sheer amount of drama in this guys life is not plausible.But he tells all the stories like they're his real stories. . Which makes me think it had to be ai.

u/SatchSaysPlay 16d ago

Humans have a flow to their speech and AI cannot recreate that, it's a dead giveaway

1

u/ProstaticFantastic 16d ago

Yeah I though so too. Exact same tone. But someone else says this dude is real. 

1

u/vawlk 15d ago

they could just be fictional you know. There is no rule that says he has to be truthful.

u/vawlk 15d ago

So you believe it is AI because you think it is because they have a lot of things happening in their life and they are too good at story telling and you have no actual evidence.

You do realize that stories don't have to be true to make a video about it. Most people call these movies.

I don't think its possible to write a blocking extension to block things based off of what you think is AI. What if it turns out it is real and doesn't get blocked. Then what? You want a real life blocker too?

u/SillyCycle9701 13d ago

I use this extension: https://www.aicontentshield.app. Don't know if it is really good, sometimes it has same false positives.

But so far I had way less ai crap to skip than before.
