youtube new feature bad bad bad bad bad bad bad help please help
i don't know if this is something you all know about, or even if its something all youtubers have access too, but youtube has dropped a new 'feature' called 'inspiration.' It scans your entire channel with AI to generate fake video ideas, like these. Those are also AI images.
It scans more than just thumbnails. One guy I saw shows a clip of his snake at the end of all of his tech videos, and for some reason all his inspiration suggestions have snakes in the thumbnails- something he's never done. It knows the content of the videos, that there's a snake in there frequently.
I haven't made warriors videos in years but it still knows thats where a lot of my bigger content is and so that's what it's pulling from. It's mentioning characters I've never mentioned, so it's pulling not just from me for specific content but-
That is... actually what scourge looks like. Mostly. He only has one white paw, but he has the spiked collar. The AI theyre using knows what this character looks like
there's something really unsettling about all the titles, honestly, they follow a generic feeling youtube format, but that's not how I title my videos, that's not how I have ever titled my videos, but it's still pushing me toward more generic content with these 'inspirations.'
It's not just titles and thumbnails.
this is an entire outline?
this shit is unsettling. It also, weirdly, knows a shocking amount of warrior cats lore.
I'm not just going to chatgpt and asking it to write me a video, youtube is looking at my videos and writing one for me. It's extremely fucking unsettling.
i havent looked at this since they launched it like a year ago.
let's see what mine gets:
ok ngl it's really funny seeing this try to make sense of my main channel. absolute word salad and dreadful pics. "memory manipulations"...
you know how ai text is really impressive until it's in an area you're already knowledgeable about? there is a really obvious path that this video would have to take to match that title, and somehow, the "idea" summary avoided that. it knows all the technical terms and how to use them, but not *when* to use them.
the "why this could fit your channel" is very interesting because it's clearly referring to 2 popular videos of mine (one low effort vid that ranked a bunch of VSTs and one high effort one that recreated a bunch of VHS era jingles)
i'll spare you the script it generated for me but it sucks and also appears to think im a zoomer (hint: my childhood preceded the 2010s)
in the context of my music-focused channel, all the suggestions kinda feels like a return to 2018 era GPT output....
now, for my game music channel:
it's really fascinating tbh!
"the squid chip" is not a thing, but it picked that up from a video i made. "squid-listen" is the translated name of the tool Nintendo used to preview the samples on the SNES. it's different than the music editor they used and it's software for their custom IS-SOUND devkit, itself based off some forgotten architecture that isn't dos or unix. it is not a chip. weird thing to focus in on!
comparing sprite limits is perfectly cromulent autism bait tbh. meh.
my single most popular vid here is about witchcraft so of course we gotta mash that with FM synthesis (a thing i love)
I've talked about some composers that were linked to pinball scores but never talked about the pinball part. i did get comments about this though, which seems to imply the ai is scraping comments for input as well
yeah yeah tim follin is one of my bigger videos
i mentioned writing a shader once in a video like 7 years ago, but i've talked about CRT stuff more recently. interesting
overall tbh i find this fascinating. if it ONLY showed me these "sparks", i think i'd enjoy it as a way to kind of peer into the machine and see how it perceives me.
but the idea that anyone would actually follow these steps to make a video? that's a few steps beyond depressing. sickening, really
