Why do these people having such a hard time coming up with articles? YouTube ones? Like as in 20% of 60% TikTok slop is YouTube slop? Does 20% of 40% YouTube slop?
Ps. I know what they mean. They should have just said “while, YouTube is 20%” instead YouTube ones. punctuations. Makes a huge difference.
60% of tiktok. Videos are slop. AI is YouTube, 21% is slop. One’s AI is slop tube.
The internet is experiencing a sloppy death.
This seems to imply that before genai TikTok had quality videos and not handcrafted slop?
I’m using various front ends for YouTube on different devices. Are there any that filter out AI like they do ads?
Oooh I would love it if that was like a SponsorBlock category or something.
Tiktok is all slop. AI is irrelevant.
Wow.
It’s that low?
Genuinely surprised by that.
It’s probably because the ai slop gets disproportionately promoted to the top, and once you accidentally watch one, that’s it, the algorithm decides that’s what you like now
I only use YT through invidious front ends, so I only see the promoted ones, but whew… Every topic has some and they bubble to the top a lot.
Watch what your kids are watching, it is most likely ai dog shit. It messes with their minds.
Also, being glued to it too. Limit their time for best results.
Well so are my friends in their mid 20s to early 30s.
The amount of people I see who are the “iPad kids” they constantly scream about is incredibly high
Keep an eye on your screen time folks.
Get out there and touch grass, the world is waiting!
And 40s and 50s and 60s and 70s. Age doesn’t make you immune to ai slop scrolling
no thank you. I will turn them into doves instead
On Youtube, there are a multitude of new “hosts” like C.S. Lewis (a dead author), sitting at a desk and spewing almost legible gibberish (in an AI voice resembling their own) vaguely referring to their favorite topic. Also psychologists, historians, and more. I’ve started to look more and more for videos over three years old if I want a decent history program.
Some are hours long. More and more, every day.
Is that of newly uploaded content or overall? Because the latter is terrifying considering YouTube is 20+ years of content.
I mean if you go to obscuretube or whatevs most vids are juat people doing random atuff so slightly surprising too. Guess most videos are actuallt just hidden tho… wonder how many are private.
Also shorts probably make up almost all of the “ai slop”.
Even considering that it doesn’t really stop being surprising I guess.
The average person in 20 years is going to be so mentally cooked.
“Alright fam imma cut that ohio tumor out no cap. Lemme just ask chat gpt where I should make the first incision.”
Is the last thing you hear before going under anesthesia
No thanks, I’m all better.
“You are?”
Yeah, I asked ChatGPT, and it said I’m free to leave, and put down the saw.

In 20 years?
It takes at least one generation for ground truth deprivation to render subjects effectively unmoored from reality
It does not.
I used to get a lot of the same AI panic-buy these items now for the coming economic collapse vids. 47 different channels saying “when the shelves are empty these are the 9 items nobody thinks to get” and it’s the same AI images of some dipshit in fatigues
Yup. This is, in part, why I leave some of my mistakes in my videos. That’s the easiest way to prove to people that my content isn’t AI without arguing about it.
me
You identify as a mistake in their videos?
Shit I fucked up the comment
It’s ok, don’t worry about it
This just in, more trash found at the garbage dump.
What are they classifying as ai slop? Cause in YouTube there is a lot of low effort content that aren’t slop, and there is also low effort content narrated by ai that I’d consider slop, and then there is actual ai slop
most of the shorts are slop.
Ehh there’s a lot of low effort content on youtube, but I don’t really see that much slop. Most of the low effort ones are just clips usually taken from twitch with minimal editing
Everything produced using any amount of generative AI is slop, without exception. Hope this clears up the confusion.
Of those 500 videos, 294 were classified as AI slop, a term Kapwing defines as videos with obvious AI-generated visuals or low-quality compilations using clearly AI-generated scripts and voiceovers. The 59 per cent rate is roughly three times the proportion found on YouTube in the same study, making TikTok’s default experience dramatically worse for anyone opening the app for the first time.
I looked up the article the og source referenced, which does say what they defined as ai slop.
The original article isn’t helpful because statistics don’t mean anything if they don’t also define what they’re measuring, and they cut the definition short.
i posted a lot but if i do not think its good i take it down after a few days
Been seeing these weird AI hairstyling videos that are such obvious bullshit and I just wonder “Why? WHYYYYYYY?”
Idk, I think Weird Al would be alright at styling hair. He’s got them curls.
I saw the photo first before I read the parent comment and was mightily confused at why there were Weird Al hairstyling videos. The priming effect at work.
Also, he should title his next album Weird AI
and it should be EDM except an accordion choir. So, uh, AADM?
how dare they call Weird Al slop?
Ad revenue. If ads disappeared from the internet, so would most of big tech. The future i dream of.
