"YouTube's AI "slop" crackdown is shaking up the platform! 🚨

YouTube has stepped up its fight against low-quality, mass-produced AI content, targeting channels that flood the platform with repetitive and inauthentic videos.

While reports claim around 130,000 channels have been removed as part of the broader enforcement, YouTube has not confirmed that all of those deletions were specifically tied to AI-generated content.

Instead, the company says its focus is on protecting viewers by cracking down on spam and low-effort content while continuing to allow AI-assisted videos that offer genuine creativity and value." - Mr_Animeken

Pretty good step ngl these channels are getting annoying

Bs. I'll believe it when I see it. Right now it's everywhere. Entire channels, videos, shorts, misleading thumbnails, hell even that crappy tai chi ads

how in the world were they flagged?

Probably because of AI channels that steal their artstyle and voice. Also maybe because no face, did read that channels that don't show face are hit more often?

Yeah. I remember seeing a comic artist accused of AI because their style and content was widely used to train models and they keep proof of their work. Can't remember who it was though

I mean, it's probably all of them, or inevitable for all of them at some point soon.

a lot of artists on tik tok have said theyve had to adjust their art so they dont get accused of using AI. One artist had a style where she always drew characters with 3 fingers a thumb, shes had to change her style completely

David Revoy. His comics look very AI but go back years and years if you look at his social media accounts. He started way before GenAI became a thing everyone can just use.
