I saw the photo first before I read the parent comment and was mightily confused at why there were Weird Al hairstyling videos. The priming effect at work.
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.
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.
Sadly that's unlikely. People spending time on TikTok are already so deeply addicted to it that they don't even care whatever that trash is made by humans or machines.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
