and convinced half the ceos that forcing their employees to use it would improve Productivity^TM^
Little things like that could burst some bubbles
I love f95zones ai cg filter. More websites should implement it
Alas, a lot of them are still don't have the tag in spite of the clear use of AI art. Mostly chinese jank, but still.
It is a good place tagging-wise tho.
They believe even if you don’t love it today, the next update to the model will change everything.
So measuring this would do nothing.
It's a nice thought, but the people in charge have too much of their personal fortunes wrapped up in AI to offer us any real agency in whether or not we use it.
However, depending on the product, you can actively choose to use it less. I made a video on my YT channel a few months ago about steps you can take in order to (over time) train the YouTube algorithm to offer you less AI slop, but yeah, there's no magic bullet unless you actively seek out and use FOSS applications.
Getting off youtube is the sure way to stop all that noise. Plus you’re helping double by stopping the flow of capital to fascists
Delete your Google Everything
Unfortunately the current state of the digital ecosystem means that there is no YT alternative, so many have no choice.
But people can still use the product in a more conscientious way.
I subscribed to nebula.tv, at 3 EUR per month its reasonably priced but I don't know I use it way less than I anticipated. But it is still my way out. Many of the content creators I like are there too and non of the slop is but it is not a full replacement, the content is much more limited and no comments either.
I tried PeerTube a little, but had a similar experience. Even on the larger instances, it's just not a reasonable alternative at all.
No, they can’t. Every advertiser dollar is being funneled into Google, the known fascist company.
Stop feeding the beast, you 100% have a choice to stop watching braindead fascism
Ha, peasant! They're not here to give you options, they're here to make you watch more of the stupid garbage and click on more ads.
It's not like the non-ai content is ad free on YouTube...
You only need the label for a browser extension to work
Detecting AI content will always be hard. To do it at scale, you'd need to use AI, there's basically no alternative, especially for search engines. Thr issue is AI models are constantly training to avoid detection, so we will always be in a state where AI cannot reliably detect AI output.
Ai images and movies can be invisible watermaked in image, sound or just metadata. Gemini is already doing that. It would not be hard to look for those signals during upload. YouTube is already doing something similar when it checks your videos for copyrighted music, content from other creators or advertiser unfriendly no-no words.
Stripping metadata is not hard. If that gets you into the human section of the web, it's absolutely worth doing.
99% percent of users won't know what it is, or how to remove it.
The users arent the ones that need managed. Its the creators. And they will absolutely know how to remove marking metadata. Thats why its valled an Arms "Race". Its a constant need that is ever adapting.
