the majority of videos that i see are just people talking about their hobbies & current events, but content with tags like #brainrot etc is certainly there for folks to find too
More than 20% of the videos that YouTube’s algorithm shows to new users are “AI slop”
– low-quality AI-generated content designed to farm views, research has found.
The video-editing company Kapwing surveyed 15,000 of the world’s most popular YouTube channels
– the top 100 in every country
– and found that 278 of them contain only AI slop.
Together, these AI slop channels have amassed more than 63 billion views and 221 million subscribers,
-- generating about $117m (£90m) in revenue each year, according to estimates.
The researchers also made a new YouTube account and found that 104 of the first 500 videos recommended to its feed were AI slop.
One-third of the 500 videos were “#brainrot”, a category that includes AI slop and other low-quality content made to monetise attention.
How are so many people attracted, not disgusted, by "AI enhanced" photos of themselves? That they would even pay money to portray themselves as such monstrosities.
Solange wir nicht alle den Roboter tanzen ist alles in Ordnung, oder? ODER? 🤖😳
Eine Studie des Max-Planck-Instituts für Bildungsforschung liefert nun erstmals handfeste Beweise dafür, dass KI-Modelle wie ChatGPT tatsächlich unseren Sprachgebrauch beeinflussen!
Das Bild zeigt ein Smartphone mit mehreren Apps von Sprachmodellen. Im Bild steht: "Menschen übernehmen unbewusst KI-Vokabular
im Sprachgebrauch" dadrunter steht: "Forschende des Max-Planck-Instituts haben nachgewiesen, dass Menschen zunehmend Wörter übernehmen, die typisch für KI-generierte Texte sind."
