OT: Youtube & AI at work in video selection?
(I've also posted this to the CDL list but they are not CC'd here). I've been poking around Youtube entertaining myself with various videos. But while poking around I've been noticing a few trends. The first is the blatant AI made videos. Most are the rather poorly made videos with a very monotone & robotic voice. Some are more noticeable at higher speeds. I tend to watch the videos at 2x speed otherwise I get bored. But much more disturbing is a second trend of what appears to be AI selected videos to a collection of unrelated material. Such as various scientific videos on a doll making feed (weird). Today I started seeing a much more disturbing trend of AI fakes being combined with an unrelated feed. Has anyone else noticed this? BTW, Youtube's AI doesn't seem to work very well as it keeps giving me videos I've already told it I've watched or not interested in. -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry kd2zrq@linuxha.com http://www.linuxha.com/ Main site http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ My HA Blog Author of: Linux Smart Homes For Dummies KD2ZRQ
I have suspected that many of the Airline disaster videos I have watched were generated by AI. On Sat, Nov 25, 2023 at 10:53 AM Neil Cherry via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:
