• 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.

I hate AI videos as much as the next person, but why would YouTube take those down. As far as I know they aren’t against any guidelines.

There is a rule against low-quality or low-effort content which I believe is machine-generated content falls under.

Why? Because YT's automation process is so regularly crap I assume it might work.

I can't speak to guidelines, as I don't regularly read those. But the "crying girl" AI that's drop shipping things, or the AI girl talking about sex (in a non educational space), (and there's more) and they all have links to external pages... feels like at best right now it's exploiting a gray area. Some are just AI where they create situations for views, which, meh. But they're not clearly labeled as "this is AI, this is fake, this is for entertainment only". Not to use a slipper slope argument, but once it gets to the point it's hard for people to quickly see it's AI, this could easily (and pretty sure it's already happened) be used to fake situations and get people riled up about literally nothing. Like we could start seeing videos of fake police violence. Which does nobody any good.
