Damn. I read the headline, and I almost thought it was a “Report AI Slop” button. What a feature that would be!

Why would anyone want to watch AI generated content? What’s the point? I get using AI generation as a tool but if there’s no human intention behind it, just a pure algorithm, why even bother?
anachrohack@lemmy.world 15 hours ago
Sometimes I’ll watch a video and as soon as I realize the voice is AI generated, I stop watching

This was me once a month but now it’s a few times a day.

You already clicked. It doesn’t matter anymore.

But why?
Like sure some of the voices are not great but the words being said are the thing I’m interested in and not the person / machine saying the words.
Each to their own and all that, I’m just curious as to why you just stop watching something you were seemingly enjoying.

It’s not like you can learn from it (even if the topic is something you’ll never use like a 2 hour dissertation on heat pumps or a multi-video series on how an old pinball machine uses only relays to calculate scores).
Why yes, I am subscribed to Technology Connections, how could you tell?
SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 hours ago
I love heat pumps I love heat pumps I love heat pumps
(I agree! I do love tech connections. Although I’d argue that knowing how heat pumps work can be quite beneficial ^^ at least in my case)

I subscribed to him as well. His Patreon is even better.

Art is people making stuff, without the people… it’s just stuff.

Can still be very pretty though. I use it to set scenes and show characters for my dungeons and dragons campaign.
dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 8 hours ago
Unpopular opinion: the fact that said stuff matches my style / that I like it is what makes art worth anything to me. Being made by a person or a fish or a machine doesnt matter. It’s the STUFF I want on my wall or the end table, not the fact that it’s tacitly human crafted. Any art I can afford is made by someone who is basically a faceless deal, not someone I know personally (or else the person matters) or someone who is famous (in which the person matters). Ergo… the people don’t typically matter.
Im not going to an insane restaurant to fanboy the chef, I’m going to eat the FOOD. If a machine makes it and every single dish is atomically identical, that’s fine, as long as it’s super tasty.

There’s an example right in the article.
Historical events portrayed realistically is one.
EighteenthNerd@lemmy.world 9 hours ago
Which is the second most scary thing AI can do.
The first is realistic portrayal of faked current events.

Oh my, color me surprised /s But maybe the implementation of this will be the final straw for me, and I’ll finally be able to commit to degoogling myself and delete my account and every app for good.

Yeah, maybe this will help me detox from my Youtube addiction.

The “Unhook” addon (increasingly required for Youtube now, in my opinion) will still completely block this as it blocks all shorts. Fuck shorts anyway. Also as TechnologyConnections pointed out in a recent video, the subscription feed still and always has completely bypasses Youtube’s recommended brainrot anyway and allows you to subscribe to and follow the creators and topics you actually care about. Until we have a viable alternative to Youtube (and hopefully stuff like this will drive that to happen sooner rather than later) the other option is to stick to subscriptions as much as possible and only subscribe to creators that don’t abuse this or use shorts at all, preferably.
Winged_Hussar@lemmy.world 15 hours ago
It absolutely blew my mind when TechnologyConnections shared the % of users who use the subscription page to get to their videos…
defaultusername@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 hours ago
The vast majority of people stick with defaults, no matter how shitty they are.

Though they are messing with that too, on mobile there is a “Most Relevant” section on top. Though thankfully they are videos from your subs.
…for now.

Too bad this probably still won’t drive people to other platforms.

YouTube should be fixing their buggy mess of a YouTube app, what a disaster. Every change they make, makes it worse.

If only NewPipe worked…
defaultusername@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 hours ago
I started using PipePipe, which is a fork of NewPipe that allows for signing into a Google account to authenticate.
I create dummy Google accounts using an old Android phone, as that doesn’t require a phone number.

I’ve been using reVanced lately. It is a YouTube patcher, not a standalone application, but it’s good enough for me github.com/ReVanced/revanced-manager/

That seems like a good solution for some people, but personally I would like to keep Google Play off my device unless I’m actually forced yo install it.

Every video fails to play, the only solution I’ve been recommended SK far is to disable my VPN but I don’t want to for privacy reasons.

Hate slop, but I also approve of anything that makes it easier to wrest IPs away from Hollywood. Feeling conflicted and pessimistic.

Oh boy, a button that generates ai shorts. Combining my 2 least favorite things about YouTube.
