If you're an active YouTube user, you've probably noticed that the platform, especially Shorts, has been inundated with AI "slop" content. Creators have been leveraging AI tools to quickly spin up AI-generated content and mercilessly posting it on the service. While that alone is not a problem, it can be deceiving to unsuspecting users and arguably reduces the overall quality of the published content too. Now, YouTube is finally making some moves in this area to proactively manage the situation.

For starters, YouTube will soon begin automatically labeling videos with "significant" photorealistic AI content as being AI-generated. This is an autonomous system is rolling out this month and will leverage internal signals to determine the presence of AI content in uploaded videos. If a creator believes that their content has been wrongly identified as being AI-generated, they can update its status via YouTube Studio.

 
I have to search and confirm authenticity of each single piece of media I encounter online, especially if it looks odd.
Hard times 😅
My father makes all the family members angry because he constantly watches YouTube videos and wonders how such things could happen. We always tell him that most of these videos are AI-generated, but he refuses to understand.
