Just stumbled into an example of #YouTube AI Slop generation in progress. Happened onto a recent (posted within the last week) video purporting to tell of a notorious "deleted scene" from the classic film "Forbidden Planet" (1956). It was obviously AI generated with the typical AI still image manipulations and voice, and never actually showed the scene. However, over the next hour YouTube offered me what seems like dozens of variations of this same video, shorts and non-shorts, all with nearly identical narration, none actually showing the scene, and with posting dates as recent as an hour ago -- many without any views. These still seem to be churning out as I type this -- all on ostensibly different channels containing similar content. Multiply this by all the possible ways this sort of AI Slop could be generated in relation to the vast array of possible content sources, and you see how #YouTube is rapidly become a deep pit of garbage. There is still lots of wonderful stuff on there -- it's still my favorite streaming service by far -- but AI Slop is making finding the worthwhile content ever more difficult. AND GOOGLE DOESN'T CARE OF COURSE -- 'cause an ad is an ad and a click is a click.
