80% of my recommendations on YouTube are videos about writers are literature. They are almost all AI-generated. And they are terrible. Riddled with factual mistakes, ugly. The inundation of this garbage happened very fast.
AI Videos
Opinions, art, debate

That’s interesting. I see almost no AI in my youtube recommandations.

Perhaps our host clicks on some of the AI content (whereas you don’t)? Because we know how the algorithm interprets that – as incentive to keep offering more of the same…
btw, just now a political Youtuber who does epic in-joke AI movies (@DonPBongwater) announced that he has been demonetized, and in fact that Youtube is demonetizing large tracts of AI content. This has happened before. So Youtube is trying to get its huge content farms under control, though we don’t know what exact principles it is applying.

Absolutely if you accidentally click on something once, the algorithm assumes you want to see 8000 more things like it. I’m a very active youtube user, so it’s probably easier for me to recover from that than an occasional user.

My two cent after actually looking into AI.
So it not actually as simple as writing a prompt and having the AI produce X for you. …. Well I mean it could be, but it would also be the same for taking a single color of paint, painting the entire canvas that color and calling a masterpiece of art.
I assume most here would agree that A. that is not art, and B. the Museum of Fine Art in New York City was smoking something when they declared said canvas of only blue paint was worth $300 million dollars.
So the way it works is you prompt the AI and it generates an image, or if your paid subscription allows it generates multiple images with each instance, each slightly different. From there you continue to tweak your prompt and or generate new images until you have what your looking for.
The various AI software subscriptions give you a mix of instances per month you can use to generate images with, depending upon your level of subscription.
What happens is that the AI generated photos completely depend upon how good you are at the prompts for whatever AI you are using, and how many images you are willing to generate to find what you are looking for.
The AI Videos you see are similar in nature. Except you have four different programs you are running. One in which you give prompts to generate song lyrics, a second to build music for the lyrics, a third which is the AI art mentioned above, and then lastly the fourth one combines all of these and is used to animate them.
Again each and every one of these requires your prompts to be tweaked till it matches what you want, images and videos watched to make sure there is no errors, and each time one is found, to be either fixed via the prompt or with new instance generations. Until finally it is all fitted together into a video.
Now while this does massively cut down on the time to produce them, the vision is still the person in question. Which is why I say AI is a tool, a more advanced brush for the artist, but still a brush never the less.
The issue as I said before that I have with AI, is not AI itself, its the fact that all the major sectors are looking to push it at the same time. That is why this is going so badly job-wise.
But now all that being said, the one area AI is absolutely miserable at is writing. Song lyrics as long as the prompter is riding herd on the AI are fine, but once you get a writer trying to use AI to write for them, well then it starts going badly wrong.
I read a lot. Like a lot a lot. I probably read 120K words in fan fictions per day, just in fan fictions mind you. That is about 1 to 1 and 1/3rd books per day. And I can tell when someone used an AI to write a chapter or the whole book.
It is lifeless, oh if the person had taken what the AI had written for them and rewritten the novel using the writing provided as a baseline it would have likely gone well, but the AI writes in a very matter of fact way. No emotion, no real anything. Its very jarring. Again the outline is fine, but the words chosen are always bad and the people using AI to write with almost never seem to try to fix things.
Anyway that is my two cent on the matter.
