There's good stuff on YouTube, but like every other social media platform, you have to pay attention Ocelot II Jul 2025 #5

I agree there's a lot of great stuff on YouTube. But the tsunami of AI slop is making it harder to highplainsdem Jul 2025 #6

And it's such BAD AI slop spinbaby Jul 2025 #51

In particular, watch out for confirmation bias. Ocelot II Jul 2025 #3

We should have a review committee to vet these vidoes before they can be posted FakeNoose Jul 2025 #9

That would be good only IF there's a way to go through that process within a few minutes Wednesdays Jul 2025 #36

OK ... maybe they only need to be vetted if they're from something other than a trusted national news source FakeNoose Jul 2025 #37

We do have alerts but we need something more, imo. ❤️ littlemissmartypants Jul 2025 #43

A lie travels around the world before the truth can get its pants on Fiendish Thingy Jul 2025 #16

The pronunciation is often another clue. AI mispronounces words. Example IcyPeas Jul 2025 #17

An authoritative YouTube AI gleefully describes Cabot's cuckoldry and details his financial preparations for divorce. Marcuse Jul 2025 #27

There are "authoritative" AI videos with obituaries of people who are still alive, sensational accounts of highplainsdem Jul 2025 #48

How do we not already have AI filters, FraDon Jul 2025 #28

AI detectors are notoriously unreliable. There are some platforms using different techniques to label highplainsdem Jul 2025 #49

I host Music Appreciation, and almost every OP there has at least one video with music. Those are fine, unless highplainsdem Jul 2025 #46

Can we use an alert? What rules do we have regarding mis/disinformation? littlemissmartypants Jul 2025 #44

I think it would be more useful to dedicate an area or forum that DUers can post suspicious videos from YT LiberalLovinLug Jul 2025 #55

I thought the idea was to curb the unsubstantiated content... littlemissmartypants Jul 2025 #56

I think it would be interesting to have a forum to post and debate how fake, or not, a video is LiberalLovinLug Jul 2025 #59

I realize you mean well, but there are hundreds, maybe thousands, of such videos added to YouTube highplainsdem Jul 2025 #60
