So some tricks and tips to ensure YouTube learns what videos you really want:

• Turn off autoplay, don’t let it go down an algorithmic rabbit hole only allow it to see what you really want and click on
• Turn off the hover play on PC, this is annoying mouse over counts as watching they will be in your history despite no audio and you just had the mouse over it… Again gives all sorts of slop in your history
• Subscribe to channels you like, yes YouTube will quickly learn if you binge a specific channel you like the creator and put it on your home feed, but if the home feed is a bit too much slop you want to be able to just look at your subs
• When you find that AI slop video and more from the same creator exists in your feed use the do not recommend this channel feature
• there is also a do not recommend video good for some evil click bait titles that Google tries to show you for weeks and still not interested
• the last two if it’s persistent use the tell more/tell why

It’s a long list but it’s really 90% is the first two so your views are deliberate, sticking to subs is not a bad idea if the algorithm is particularly frustrating at the moment as it will also help limit the random walk. What anoys me the most is the first two are not account settings rather cookies so every new device I need to tell YouTube how to behave.

Most of the thread just makes me feel old…

WindowsME was what made me switch to Linux… Sure there has been a windows box around here and there for gaming mostly… Now with anything I want to play working on Linux, no need for 11

This is how all artists behave… Very protective of there works and f*** whatever they borrowed in making it…

think Minecraft modders they can mod Minecraft but oh the drama if you mod their mod… Maybe there is just a line the big frnchise is no longer protected… But this is not how people debate this issue.

I think there needs to be proof given when you accuse people of ai slop, this is not to say it’s not a slop mime of course it is: it’s I think people tend to forget why AI slop is not so great: the average person it trained on is not that great.

Now sure if you find a Loading artist with the frames the same we know what it was lifted from vs it just being a mimic of style, sure AI or not we could say it’s a bit too close in style to be a independent derivative.

But let’s be real you were not going to ever be paid for some off the top random meme the question is should op have bothered posting… Honestly likely not.

To be fair AU means more to me than miles or km in this case… 168 times further from us than we are to the sun.

But since you want metric ~25.1 terameters.

This is the biggest problem wifh genai, it takes over the meaning of any other AI… At most theis hearing aid “AI” is a small neural network to remove background (noise) vs foreground (talk), more likely it’s not even that complicated but still focused on nearest conversation and not other noise.

While I’ve found uses for local LLMs (ie I host) and even the bigger chat bots:

I feel the gen “AI” everywhere is just an excuse to collect data since they always use the online models… And if you are either not paying or paying api rates (per token… Or usually million token rate) it’s basically being provided significantly below cost.
