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?
There are many news commentators I generally enjoy but EVERY SINGLE VIDEO has a headline about some person getting destroyed or how “it’s over” for them.
I just want like, 20-30 minutes coverage of whatever happens to be the most interesting & important stuff without a whole bunch of bullshit fluff. I’ve stopped watching news on YT in general because of this and just stick to the content that knows it’s slop i.e. video game challenge runs lmao.
I’ve gotten a bit hooked on Trey The Explainer and Tor’s Cabinet Of Curiosities because they’re basically just a dude talking about their hyperfixation for 40 minutes. Podcast++
