YouTube’s system for suppressing low-quality AI content mistakenly targeted Kurzgesagt, leaving the channel with its worst-performing upload since 2013.
is Youtube/Google speed running their death?
İt feels like humans have no rights to speak or dislike or express any opinion online only fake numbers matters and the best part is ai slop is feeding from ai slop to make more ai slop ı wonder when this nonsense comes to end
that’s what happens when your AI slop detector is AI slop
The goddamn banchode running the biz, and greenlit this garbage moderation. Fuck AI.
Vacuum up the internet, provide generative “AI” for people to spew tons of garbage on to the internet. Everyone hates AI, and advertisers don’t want ads showing against AI slop. AI can’t accurately detect AI and kills real content providers that advertisers want to show ads for.
Brilliant. What will they come up with next?
Reminds me of that comic the other day
Kurzgesagt: Let’s keep our art human made.
Google: Kurzgesagt, your content looks like this low quality AI slop!
🤖: I’D LIKE TO THANK KURZGESAGT FOR BEING A BIG INSPIRATION TO ME.
I’m sure the bill gates money will protect them lol
Use AI channel blocker, but I guess most of you people use phones or tablets so you’re fucked either way
Funny, because I can still see a lot of slop still on the site.
At the same time YouTube offers a prompt to generate more AI content.
No, this is just a stunt to claim that it is difficult to detect AI slop, when in reality they want that content as it is more addictive, especially to kids.
i mean this tell you everything that you need to know: as soon as the animation quality of a channel is good enough, it gets accused of being AI. what does this tell us about the quality of AI output?
It sounds like your argument here is that AI animation is so legitimately great that it is on par with talented animators. Quite frankly, fuck that, no matter how visually polished AI animations may look, they are generally quite soulless and flat.
The real issue is that people are so reflexively anti-AI that they accuse anything that registers any doubt at all of legitimacy of being AI, even without evidence. This has hurt many legitimate artists who were forced to reveal more than they wanted to about their creative process just to prove to detractors that they didn’t use AI. While hatred of AI “art” is very defensible, directing that hate any anyone you have a mere suspicion of is just making things worse for real artists.
And yeah, the visual clues that something is slop are getting more and more subtle, and that does pose a problem for our ability to quickly differentiate, but that absolutely does not mean than that the slop has equal value to human-created works. Anyone arguing otherwise is just telling the world that they are anti-Human. I which case, I recommend taking a look in the mirror and considering that maybe not all humans inferior to a GPU, just you.
look i know that this gets a lot of hate but the current trajectory of “you need to prove your worth to the world to have a legitimate reason to exist” is just not sustainable. fuck all that “we support that artist”, we should be supporting the person, whether they output art or not.
the current rage against AI is 90% driven by the idea that humans need to produce output sothat we can donate to them and give them money sothat they can live. and frankly, that’s a dystopian idea in my eyes.
You gotta work on your communication, I have zero clue what you’re trying to say. You start off heavily implying at AI is of a high quality, saying nothing else, and then go on about being pro-working class/pro person(I think?), but do it in a way that has holes in just the weirdest places.
the current rage against AI is 90% driven by the idea that humans need to produce output sothat we can donate to them and give them money sothat they can live.
What an absolutely insane straw man
Despite them being a little out of wack and a terrible communicator, they do have a point. AI’s main selling point is centered around how it can make everyone more productive as if we actually need even more productivity. We’re all more than productive enough, AI is giving us nothing but unemployment(as those left are told to work harder), more climate destabilization, and reduced quality of life for every single living thing nearby a data centre.
Their first comment was also just plain bad, not gunna defend that at all. They seem kinda loopy.
That a lot of people are trying to imitate Kurzgesagt’s signature style?
yeah exactly.
Yet YouTube Music is absolutely rife with AI bullshit. So much fake-ass viking, cowboy, or other ‘badass’ AI generated slop.
Or “just discovered” 1970s Berlin krautrock space stuff… it’s all nonsense
thats why im always hitting the report button. be part of the solution. not passively part of the problem.
I’ve been craving a feature like that. Maybe it’s because I use YouTube Music Desktop, but there’s no damn report button!
Nothing in the mobile app, either ☹️.
I would say that being part of the solution is not using their service at all.
As someone who likes Tyr, Hulkoff, Skald, and Danheim I swear to fuck I want to beat someone’s head in with my musket stock. Seriously the quality just drops and I can only block so many channels, half tempted to just to download all their music and make a fucked up mega playlist on my phone.
Anyone know a good way to download YouTube music on Linux, preferably a program and not a website.
YT-DLP is my go-to now. Can download one track or a playlist.
Up until a few months ago, I would normally use spotDL, a tool you gave a Spotify url and it’d search the same songs on multiple sites and download them, while tagging it with spotify’s metadata, which is quite clean. Absolutely amazing piece of software helped me build a good music library, but Spotify changed their api auth because of Anna’s archive scraping, requiring you to have premium just to have a useful api key, breaking spotdl for pretty much everyone.
I currently use just yt-dlp to pull from yt music, SoundCloud and bandcamp. It’s alright, metadata is bad tho, yt-dlp doesn’t tag very well out of the box. I’ve tried torrenting and soulseek, you can get some good quality (and big!) files, but can be hard to find niche artists (Argentinian hardbass sure is niche as hell)
I’d too be interested in a tool like that if anyone knows one.
They were probably right.
Reminder that Kurzgesagt is German government sponsored slop originally created by Bill Gates to spread capitalist propaganda (yes, unironically) https://youtu.be/ZRPcyWNfgxo
Ah yes capitalist propoganda like …scrolls most popular… Countering coronavirus disinformation, explaining vaccines and the dangers of the antivax movement, the physical limits disproving the infinite growth lie of capitalism… Yeah, there’s a lot of science fiction/fantasy topics but those are generally what gets views.
If they are pushing propoganda, they’re pretty shit at it and should probably be spending their money on manosphere podcasts instead. Honestly you should be encouraging such inefficient efforts.
This is such a stellar example of the cold war tankie mindset. Anything a capitalist funds must be evil; anything from the west is a lie; it’s my duty to counter everything coming out of their mouths; blah blah blah.
Don’t forget pretending climate change will magically go away. And my favorite: German genocide denial.
Ah yes, the evil liberal-capitalist climate solutions: shilling solar panels, agriculture tech, electrification, more efficient production of cement and steel
Nothing like the glorious socialist solutions of the proletariat: Chinese solar panels, Chinese agriculture tech, Chinese electrification, more efficient production of Chinese cement and steel
Turns out that every productivist ideology imagines their band-aid efficiency gains will hand wave what is essentially a growth and finite resource problem. So yeah I agree with you on some level, the free market won’t magically save us any more than an AES state market. You’re just mad because you’re hearing it from a video sponsored by the bad team
“Everything I don’t agree with is slop”
Pseudoscience about capitalism going to magically fix climate change by doing nothing is slop.
I prefer slop to live in its own technical box of generative AI crap instead of broadening the word to the point it’s just another meaningly pejorative like sus.
I know damned well that the term slop has been used since the 90s for food and at least the late 00s for other things. The term shovelware slop comes to mind. Note I don’t remember the 90s I was a month old when it ended but I did watch a lot of 90s media so yeah.
Knowing how extremely unscientific Kurzgesagt is the accusation of them using AI to create slop scripts is most likely true.
Seriously can anyone the Dyson Sphere video and not come away thinking this is written by morons who have no idea what they’re talking about?
But you say the word “science” a bunch of times with a nice looking, animation as if we have self-replicating robots already, and every Liberal will buy it.
Can you specifically point to some problematic content, because so far you’ve just complained
Literally read the comment. Dyson Sphere. Climate change.
You are aware of course that slop existed before generative AI and there are other things that are slop.
I doubt that. Kur,jiizshit is slop.
I was recently accused on Lemmy of using AI to write up a post (laced with links to appropriate Wikipedia articles).
I’m still not sure how I feel about it.
I’m still not sure how I feel about it.
That’s because machines don’t have feelings. /s
Did you use an emdash
Huh — Now that you say it.
No, I did not- 🤖I do use them, yes. Sometimes I’ll use them similar to parenthesis to insert an aside comment – a use case noted in Wikipedia. – though I add spaces before and after each one.
Well back in the day I when playing competitive fps in european ladder my own clanmates accused me of cheating
Its kinda of flattering, isnt it?
This is exactly why I hold anti-AI folk in low regard, because they have yet to demonstrate their “detection” abilities to discern between human and generated creations. They are basically psychics and ghost whisperers.
This seems like an overgeneralization. Just like they do, you do here.
It’s worse than that. They’re not just pretending about their abilities for clout. They’re actively following their emotions and attacking people they don’t like with AI accusations or just plain old harassment. I’ve been sexually harassed by these assholes.
As AI gets better this is increasingly true too. Back when it was irregular fingers it was a lot easier. And tbh, there is plenty of AI content I don’t really mind.
Its often ok. It doesn’t have to be great if there is little to no high quality human made content to compare it to in the same niche. I don’t think any human artists have made an album about the Isstvan massacre.

How on Earth are there warhammer fans who haven’t heard of Bolt Thrower?
Oh you used a big word, AI phony!
Nah dude, I just . . . know how to write?
This comment aims to illuminate the complexities of being seen as a sesquipedalian. Let’s delve dee … (token limit reached)
real human intelligence seems utterly alien in this world
It really doesn’t help that in the US there’s a major literacy crisis.
This is the shit state of the world now. Everything gets accused of being AI by someone. The AI tech bros have well and truly won. They’ve poisoned everything.
I’d argue that the Fuck_AI crowd who slanders and also sexually harasses people are helping them. I hate this big tech companies just as much as they do. I’m not going to sexually harass someone I think is using their service though.
