YouTube announced two new experimental generative AI features today. Premium subscribers can soon try AI-generated comment summaries organized by topic, and a chatbot that answers questions about videos.
At this point why would you watch the video when you can have a shitty AI summary of the whole thing. Great idea.
Oh good. It’s premium only. I’m safe.
For now…
And you thought the comment section was bad now
This is for youtubers, so that they can hace a summary of the comments I guess.
Why don’t they fix the atrocious automatic subtitles translation butchering first…
It’s totally useless every time I accidentally activated it
It could help you decide if the video was worth the 30 minutes or longer videos
Just pick decent creators
“How do you find decent creators?” “Watch their 30-minute videos”
Before the 10 minute mark you probably have some idea if you want to watch more. But i agree finding good creators is incredibly difficult in the oversaturated market
Yeah, I get it, why stream the video if you can generate summary, why find creators if you can generate content, why attract people if you can generate comments, generate, generate, generate …
I think I have a question concerning where do humans fit in all that, except for clicking ads.
This seems like it would be fairly useful for getting a quick sentiment on something like a tutorial, especially since they’ve removed dislikes.
