Wondering if there's some sort of big list of channels whose videos are known to be mostly or entirely AI stuff, whether the text, the narrator or other details. It's really annoying to start watching and noticing something "off", only to check the channel and notice that it's been pumping out 25-30min videos every 2 days for the past year.

It's easy to avoid the AI animation stuff, but it's annoying when you're looking for history, psychology, science and other stuff.

If there is one, I worry that it won't possibly be able to keep up. Youtube is actively encouraging AI generated content now.

Unfortunately, I think a whitelist is the only option here. Subscribe to specific accounts that you know are legitimate, and use some kind of desktop app for Youtube instead of browsing the site, so you don't get AI generated recommendations after the video.

I ended up subscribing to Nebula.tv last week, hoping to avoid youtube altogether. It's definitely missing a few categories of content (in fact it's mainly video essays and LegalEagle), but that'll be my starting place for videos from now on.
