A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I'm sorry, is that fucking TechnoViking vs Bruce Lee?
JFC.
A while back YT wanted me to "enable watch history", which was until then already enabled, I guess? Well, I refused to do it, so my home page was blank. That's when I switched to using the Subscriptions page as my home page on YT, and the site has been much better now. I still get recommended videos on the right side, but I can easily ignore them.
On youtube, you have to learn to use the DON'T RECOMMEND CHANNEL BUTTON a lot
There is too much A.I. slop on yt spewing out wrong information and trying to rewrite history it is disgusting.
I get that I'm apparently the weird one here, but I don't get why people put up with this instead of just using your subscriptions feed. I turned off watch history a long time ago and it has been great.
I've found loads of actually good and interesting high effort content from recommendations.

When i don't sign in, every video is a trump video
I'm convinced this is a psyop to make boomers and older genx question their own memory. this opens the door for further washing and manipulation.
Remember when trained professional fighters used to randomly fight people in the audience?
Yep. Problem was how often they'd accidentally pick Bruce Lee
Yup.
I made a video earlier this year about how you can (over time) train the algorithm to give you less of this crap. Unfortunately there's just no concrete setting for turning off recommendations that contain AI slop, but you can tell the system to give you less with a little engagement.
This is just YouTube default algorithm now. Ai slop videos that are so obviously fake and often all they are is just a slideshow of ai images along with a text to speech narrator reading AI text
Thank goodness my YouTube bookmark is on my Watch later or subscription to avoid these clickbait videos.
This racist man pooped today he didnt know his "poop" was actually Bruce Lee and the president and an old farmer
Don't you mean "r*cist"?
what happened next is astounding
Reminds me of this old classic site:
From a time of peak internet content
This is one of the dumbest sites I've ever seen.
Thank you.
omg I'm laughing like a little kid. this is hilarious
Omg I remember finding that on Stumbleupon! Iβm glad itβs still up. So many classic sites are gone now.
Stumbleupon was best Internet
From the user's standpoint yes. From site operator standpoint, no.
Worse than worthless traffic. Hoards of content locusts descend on your site, ad blockers up, fuck over your server, provide 0 ad clicks/conversions and leave you -$10 profit.
Edit: downvotes do not surprise me, why would a selfish user ever consider what they're taking from someone else? After all, they need to be entertained! After 2 years of our site getting completely flooded, I eventually redirected stumble upon traffic. Like I said, worse than useless, actively damaging to the site and spoiling the experience for the positive users.
man people gotta stop picking bruce lee to randomly fight them
They got a pretty good shot now.
i read somewhere that ai will generally compose images of humans using the same 8 or 9 poses and camera positions
ai must have gathered that the pointing thing must be a key-frame human activity
the bots would focus on the finger, and not what it's pointing at. It's slightly amusing and very on brand
Out of curiosity, did the original video have a finger-pointing still like this?
No, it was a song by a band from the 1960s (which could explain the Bob Dylan suggested videos)
Ah, so it's not an "algorithm finding similar poses in videos" thing, it's just AI deciding that's a Human Pose? π¬
Or the AI content farms deciding that itβs a high-engagement thumbnail style to use
Yup. That and the HFY videos that the algorithm will barf out at you. Ugh. I usually go down the side list and "don't recommend channel" to all of them when they show up. Absolute trash..
I was just watching this and it seems related to your situation:
Why Are Americans So Bloody Stupid? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9MubNsh3rs
Yeah, why are Americans this dumb?
I just saw the first one (Rodney Dangerfield, top left) and the last one (Johnny Carson, bottom right) when I was watching a video just now. I usually watch videos on Youtube in a private browser tab by manually searching for the person's channel or video that I want to watch. The recommended videos are always absolute garbage.
Got the same. Was looking up videos to repair a window balance. π€·ββοΈ
On a different note; the resemblance between Jeff Bezos and Rodney Dangerfield is striking! Are they father and son?! Both with these hellsapoppinβ high bloodpressure eyes and their hair combed back.
