YouTube “Enhances” Comment Section With AI-Generated Nonsense
YouTube’s rollout of AI tools shows nonsensical AI-generated audience engagement and AI slop thumbnails.
Non-paywalled article.
Not sure why they want even more garbage comments.
They’re trying to get more viewer engagement for “free” from already burned out video creators.
Imagine if replying to comments on YouTube videos was a part of your actual job, wouldn’t you look for new ways to half-ass the fan service?
For example, last week Basinger posted a short video about a Duke Nukem-branded G Fuel energy drink [...] In the video, Basinger makes himself a serving of the drink but can’t find the scoop he’s supposed to use to measure out the formula.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if the scoop was buried in the powder,” one YouTube user commented [...]
YouTube’s AI suggested that Basinger reply to that comment by saying: “It’s not lost, they just haven’t released the scoop yet. It’s coming soon.” Another suggested reply to that same comment said: “I’ll have to check if they’re using a proprietary blend that requires a special scoop.”
Lmao. It's always funny to see how these tools behave in the marketing materials vs. IRL, feels like the gap is widening instead of closing.
The ass-bots are bad enough. Nobody wants any more bots in the comments.
