We all keep saying that AI is ruining the platform... Well, Google and YouTube have doubled down on AI slop. They want creators to use ai as much as possible to churn out content that they can better monetize... they also want to train on our videos so they can create their own ai influencers... it's dystopian.

When I click a video, even if it's a topic I'm interested in, if I hear that AI voice, I immediately click off. No engagement. No comments.

Text to speech (TTS) has come a long way, even open source projects.

I've recently been using TTS to read pdfs to me while I do yardwork and its not super easy to tell just by the voice that its not a human. Biggest issue seems to be with math formulas.

In a year it will be hard to tell the difference unless they read something that a human would have skipped.
