“Good news for individual creators. But a HUGE red flag to larger creator studios, podcast networks, kids media companies, localization operations and anyone that runs multiple channels from a single production stack. All the things that media companies do to publish at scale, including shared templates, synced upload schedules and a common infrastructure also make them look like a coordinated slop factory.”
Given the huge amount of AI slop I still get in my Youtube feed, I don’t think YT is going far enough, quick enough.
An observation? Some people seem fine with AI content. I’ve come across countless videos that are obviously (to me) ChatGPT scripts voiced by AI. Reading their comments, many people don’t seem to be able to tell, or don’t care.
YouTube should extend the logic to pre-ai slop creators too, tbh. Watchmojo’s entire network should get purged, and YT should take the explicit stance of “if you’re a corporation, use your own servers”.
