I watch a lot of STEAM videos on YouTube. In the past I loved supporting new creators but some time last year I stopped trying new channels that don’t have human presenter, there’s just so much slop. Now I’ve noticed that there are channels where even the presenter is AI. I can spot a few tells (presenter is never on screen for very long, voice pacing doesn’t vary, no ums and ahs, etc) but it’s getting harder and I wish I knew more clues.

One thing that seems to help is checking the channel history (does the presenter age, have they only started making content very recently etc)

Can someone recommend a good, recent guide to spotting AI videos?

    Honestly, is that the best AI can do nowadays? The video looks obviously unreal even at low resolution. Where’s the difference between 100% CGI produced and AI? Visually, I mean. I know there’s a difference overall.

    The music is just bland; but unfortunately there’s also many humans that produce slop like this (it’s still their IP though!).

    Paraphrasing another commenter here, I’d say “overproduced” is the thing to avoid - whether it’s human or machine made.
