Half of YouTube videos are written and read by AI these days. That will be a wonderful feedback loop if they train it on those videos.

Raise your hand if you’ve never trained on a YouTube video

I’ve trained on a lot of YouTube videos, I love Antranik’s yoga and related vids (website if interested).

He addresses this.

If you are trying to make the argument learning from media is the same as taking that media and performing calculations on it.

Obviously they are since i got a youtube premium feature the other day that gave me a button to skip a sponsored segment and it’s most likely an ai that said the segment starts here and ends there from learning the sponsorship patterns.

That ‘feature’ has been around on no official YouTube apps for a long time now. Zero reason to pay for it.

It’s called sponsorblock, and there is no machine learning involved whatsoever. The data is crowdsourced.

That data is also publicly available (of course), so a model could be trained on it. I’d love to say I’d doubt Google/YouTube would ever do that, but at this point nothing would surprise me.

vxx ,

If you move the slider on a video you’ll see which parts were watched most. The big peaks usually indicate people skipping sponsored segments.

You don’t need AI for it.

paraphrand ,

More data is always better. Especially data curated by humans. Have you not been paying attention? 😉

As a other premium user, trust me that is not the main reason I use it, it’s entirely to get rid of ads on mobile. I use the feature occasionally on mobile too but on desktop I use sponsorblock and it’s wayyy better both from an accuracy and user interface standpoint.

Sidenote: I also am on a plan that my parents pay for, though I used to pay for it myself after getting it for free for 6 months and I couldn’t go back to the ads

Oh good. So Google’s AI is going to be just as bad at proselytizing, skepticism, and logic as Christians are.

Can’t wait to debate a computer that “thinks” fine-tuning and the Kalam cosmological argument are the best ideas nobody could ever debunk.

Whatcha u gonna about it, pussy?

Call the police lol

I remember watching this when it first came out and I was honestly as upset as him. But don’t worry, it’s for the benefit of everyone so they can make AI as best as they can or some shit. But really it’s just stealing with extra steps.

Remember that every single piece of AI art, music, and video you have ever seen was made entirely out of stuff found online and most likely taken without people’s consent.

Accurate.

I thought they needed to ban bots to “keep their community safe”?!

The competition’s bots.

Banning other bots keeps their community safe from having competitors

Shouldn’t it be obvious?

I think the screenshot with “YES” in the background helped ;)
