From YouTube’s CEO:

“Just because the content is 75 percent AI generated doesn’t make it any better or worse than a video that’s 5 percent AI generated. What’s important is that it was done by a human being.”

Uhhh, read that again. If human input is what is valuable then clearly the content that is 95% human vs 25% is much more valuable.

Their lies are becoming more contradictory, even in the same paragraph.

What does AI slop have to do with TV executives not making good shows?

Am I missing something? How is this not a huge leap?

There's no direct link, but it's all related in the sense that everything is competition for viewers eyes and attention. People watch Youtube a lot compared to streaming networks, and Youtube is increasingly comprised of more and more AI slop.

I guess that makes sense, thanks. My brain will not view YouTube as “real” because it’s just stupid cat videos and nazi apologists and corporate enshittification

YouTube recommends based on your search history so I don't know what to say.

I watch Adam Savage of Mythbusters, Physicist Angela Collier, ProZD, Level1Techs, etc and get similar suggestions.
