This is a normal post Do you reckon that if this AI shite gets posted relentlessly enough, that the mods will eventually give up?

This is a normal post Post AI shit, get account immediately deleted.
And we send the boys around. And by boys, I mean actual kids under six that just run around all day putting their dirty fucking fingers on everything you hold precious.

This is a normal post My parents' TV is absolutely coated in greasy finger smears
Because my nephews can't comprehend the fact that it's not a gigantic phone/tablet and doesn't possess a touch screen.

Idiots.

This is a normal post 2 minutes is a long time. 9:27 of this would certainly be considered torture by a civilised court of law.
AI is shit. I report about a dozen videos to YT every day because they're misleading AI slop that nobody wants to watch. YT are on borrowed time. I'm searching for an AI-free alternative almost every day now.

This is a normal post Adblock for YT, Untrap, and Sponsorblock mean I don't see 99% of that nonsense.
I tried a couple of AI filter extensions but if anything I saw more AI bullshit than before.

YT's algorithm wants me to watch more similar things, so it regularly pushes exactly the same material plagiarised from humans, but made nonsensical and ultra-repetitive. I see so many of the same boxing and mma compilations because I once watched a popular video that's been copied by hundreds of AI grifters.

I'm seeing a lot of genuine looking fake accounts of real people, full of AI generated fake content detailing events that never happened.

Bizarrely I'm seeing a lot of fake animal 'stories' with visual vomit graphics and a script consisting of the same 3 paragraphs restated with tiny variations, over and over again. I'm seeing a bit of the revenge fantasy stuff that YT insists I need to become radicalised in some moronic way, and the American court procedures and bodycam footage designed to make me hate women and black people, but I block those channels completely even if they're real.

I worry that YT considers this kind of 'engagement' a good and useful thing for them, and that some super-algorithm is slowly turning me into a Manchurian Candidate or something. YT is fucked, almost completely untrustworthy, much like google.

This is a normal post Jesus fucking christ
I just got recommended a blackface Dungeons & Dragons video.

It would appear that YT are deliberately showing me a slew of content they know I'll hate.

This is a normal post I will take a look at Untrap and Sponsorblock. Ta
I didn't think that Adblock still worked for Youtube.

This is a normal post I don't watch YouTube, routinely anyway. If I'm looking for something specific and it's on there, sure, but otherwise nope.
Never imagined I'd find myself at the vanguard of the anti-AI fightback, but here I am, apparently.

This is a normal post The algorithm possibly identified you as a person who overreacts to AI generated videos
Negative overreaction is still a form of engagement
