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

I posted the AI slop video the OP in that thread was apparently referring to, in a reply there, and the YouTube highplainsdem Jul 2025 #8

Yup. There's no filter, and people post crap everywhere - AI or just regular crap. Ocelot II Jul 2025 #7

Agree. And maybe it's not just innocent or ignorant folks posting these threads. nt Brenda Jul 2025 #24

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

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
