Comment on YouTube Tests AI Overviews in Search Results

I’m so tired of useless AI “features” plaguing every facet of the internet. I get that there are uses for this kinda stuff, but literally everything is not the answer. Especially since 70% of the AI features they have added to YouTube are either useless or inadequate for what they say they do. My favorite is the AI summary of the comment section saying some stupid shit like “the comments talk about the jokes in the video.” Like… How is that helpful?
At this rate it almost seems like they are trying to stop people from even using YouTube with how much information and summaries they are trying to give you without ever interacting with the video itself.

The worst part about the comment summaries is that bots are using the summary to come up with incredibly generic comments, which are then liked and give them high visibility. You can tell who they are due to the suggestive photo, and the 50% chance of nudity in their profile, and the 100% chance of that profile containing a link to a cam site. If you watch new, popular videos, there is almost certainly a porn bot in the comments. YouTube doesn’t seem to give a shit either, considering that it seems like at least half of these accounts are using the same profile image.
