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?
View count is a tipoff. For whatever reason I get a lot of ultra-low view count videos in my feed, like single or double digit view counts. It’s almost always AI slop
This is true, and sad to me, as it means those “candid” style YT videos get basically no views anymore. They’re all drown out by bots.
