Today we’re introducing two AI updates
new AI-powered search results carousel to suggest videos and topic descriptions by creators across YouTube. Imagine searching for “best beaches in Hawaii” — you could see an AI-generated carousel highlighting clips from videos showcasing the best snorkel spots and volcanic beaches
our conversational AI tool will be expanding to some non-Premium users in the US.
Oh, no thank you. I’m good as is.
No, really.
No.
NO!
NOoooooo! Stahp it!
Yaaaaay!
Said no one.
Sounds like a content highway but implemented in the narrowest, most awkward and least usable way imaginable. And they‘re paving the ruins of the search result page that they themselves bombed to bits with it. I‘m almost surprised they didn‘t try to sell this to premium users as the solution to a problem they created. The fact that they roll this out to free users tells me it‘s utter slop that I‘m never going to use.
Wow, it’ll be so great having these summaries nobody asked for added to various feeds so that they can be scrolled past and ignored!
They gonna use stills from creator made videos to… Stop people watching videos on YouTube? The hell are they thinking?
That they can directly put ads into the carousel.
Ads they dont have to split revenue on.

I wouldn’t be so annoyed about that, if they would accept a “no, thank you. I’m not interested. Don’t ask again” as an answer

They never will. Not with shorts. Not ever with AI.

Every app is the same now, so boring

They do when you use ublock origin. That element selector has been doing a lot of good work for me lately.
