Why do these people having such a hard time coming up with articles? YouTube ones? Like as in 20% of 60% TikTok slop is YouTube slop? Does 20% of 40% YouTube slop?

Ps. I know what they mean. They should have just said “while, YouTube is 20%” instead YouTube ones. punctuations. Makes a huge difference.

[-] Poem_for_your_sprog@lemmy.world 6 points 20 hours ago

60% of tiktok. Videos are slop. AI is YouTube, 21% is slop. One's AI is slop tube.

[-] hark@lemmy.world 7 points 20 hours ago

The internet is experiencing a sloppy death.

[-] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 minute ago

That's a slippery slop argument /j

[-] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 8 points 22 hours ago

This seems to imply that before genai TikTok had quality videos and not handcrafted slop?

[-] NewNewAugustEast@lemmy.zip 17 points 1 day ago

Tiktok is all slop. AI is irrelevant.

[-] Anonymous_Leaker@lemmy.world 81 points 1 day ago

Watch what your kids are watching, it is most likely ai dog shit. It messes with their minds.

[-] heartSagan5@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 day ago

Also, being glued to it too. Limit their time for best results.

[-] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 19 points 1 day ago

Well so are my friends in their mid 20s to early 30s.

[-] Gormadt@slrpnk.net 10 points 1 day ago

The amount of people I see who are the "iPad kids" they constantly scream about is incredibly high

Keep an eye on your screen time folks.

Get out there and touch grass, the world is waiting!

[-] Aneb@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

And 40s and 50s and 60s and 70s. Age doesn't make you immune to ai slop scrolling

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

no thank you. I will turn them into doves instead

[-] postman@literature.cafe 3 points 23 hours ago

I'm using various front ends for YouTube on different devices. Are there any that filter out AI like they do ads?

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 14 hours ago

Oooh I would love it if that was like a SponsorBlock category or something.

[-] hansolo@lemmy.today 11 points 1 day ago

Wow.

It's that low?

Genuinely surprised by that.

[-] Theoriginalthon@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

It's probably because the ai slop gets disproportionately promoted to the top, and once you accidentally watch one, that's it, the algorithm decides that's what you like now

[-] hansolo@lemmy.today 1 points 16 hours ago

I only use YT through invidious front ends, so I only see the promoted ones, but whew... Every topic has some and they bubble to the top a lot.

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 34 points 1 day ago

Yup. This is, in part, why I leave some of my mistakes in my videos. That's the easiest way to prove to people that my content isn't AI without arguing about it.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago
[-] nailbar@sopuli.xyz 21 points 1 day ago

You identify as a mistake in their videos?

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

Shit I fucked up the comment

[-] starik@lemmy.today 2 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

It’s ok, don’t worry about it

[-] nightlily@leminal.space 7 points 1 day ago

Is that of newly uploaded content or overall? Because the latter is terrifying considering YouTube is 20+ years of content.

[-] ButteredBread@sh.itjust.works 2 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

I mean if you go to obscuretube or whatevs most vids are juat people doing random atuff so slightly surprising too. Guess most videos are actuallt just hidden tho... wonder how many are private.

Also shorts probably make up almost all of the "ai slop".

Even considering that it doesn't really stop being surprising I guess.

I used to get a lot of the same AI panic-buy these items now for the coming economic collapse vids. 47 different channels saying "when the shelves are empty these are the 9 items nobody thinks to get" and it's the same AI images of some dipshit in fatigues

[-] Shellofbiomatter@lemmus.org 32 points 1 day ago

This just in, more trash found at the garbage dump.

[-] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

On Youtube, there are a multitude of new "hosts" like C.S. Lewis (a dead author), sitting at a desk and spewing almost legible gibberish (in an AI voice resembling their own) vaguely referring to their favorite topic. Also psychologists, historians, and more. I've started to look more and more for videos over three years old if I want a decent history program.

Some are hours long. More and more, every day.

[-] Baguette 4 points 1 day ago

What are they classifying as ai slop? Cause in YouTube there is a lot of low effort content that aren't slop, and there is also low effort content narrated by ai that I'd consider slop, and then there is actual ai slop

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 21 hours ago

most of the shorts are slop.

[-] Baguette 1 points 19 hours ago

Ehh there's a lot of low effort content on youtube, but I don't really see that much slop. Most of the low effort ones are just clips usually taken from twitch with minimal editing

[-] Jomega@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Everything produced using any amount of generative AI is slop, without exception. Hope this clears up the confusion.

[-] Baguette 1 points 19 hours ago

Of those 500 videos, 294 were classified as AI slop, a term Kapwing defines as videos with obvious AI-generated visuals or low-quality compilations using clearly AI-generated scripts and voiceovers. The 59 per cent rate is roughly three times the proportion found on YouTube in the same study, making TikTok’s default experience dramatically worse for anyone opening the app for the first time.

I looked up the article the og source referenced, which does say what they defined as ai slop.

The original article isn't helpful because statistics don't mean anything if they don't also define what they're measuring, and they cut the definition short.

[-] tostane@thelemmy.club 1 points 1 day ago

i posted a lot but if i do not think its good i take it down after a few days

[-] ramble81@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 day ago

The ones that annoy me are “this is the 2027 Canyonero!” and it’s obviously an AI generated car. At this point I have a couple channels I can rely on and block or ignore the rest.

There is a car rental company that has been pushing legitimately awful AI ads on YouTube. Congrats, I probably wasn’t going to rent a car from you. But now I will specifically avoid your company if I ever need to rent a car.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 21 hours ago

i have ublock origin on, so i never see any ads.

[-] ramble81@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago

Name and shame. Is it a national brand or is it a local exotic type one?

[-] xthexder@l.sw0.com 2 points 1 day ago

THE NEW 2027 DODGE RAM 1500!!

shows picture of AI generated Toyota Tacoma with the wrong badges

[-] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago

Fuck AI. I'm buying all my shit from the meek from now on.
