• YouTube is making it easier than ever to spot AI-generated videos.

• The company is rolling out new labels for both long-form videos and Shorts that make it clear which videos were produced using AI.

• YouTube is also rolling out a new automatic detection system to spot AI videos even if a creator doesn't make a disclosure.

Obligatory "fuck AI," however I've reluctantly found that the AI summaries can be helpful on occasion, such as when deciding if a video with a clickbaity title is actually worth watching, or when I'm on YouTube looking for a solution to a problem (in which case the summary can sometimes get me the content way faster than watching the video). So of all the dumb shit YouTube has done to their platform in recent years, I'd argue the AI summaries fall on the "actually not that bad" end of the spectrum.

That's very fair, it's definitely in the vein of what LLMs are (theoretically) meant for, i.e. summarization and language parsing/analysis. I find that LLMs work pretty well for translation too. It's just a shame that executives have run it to the ground like they usually do. And the people poisoning us are the same ones treating it in this case.
