YouTube’s system for suppressing low-quality AI content mistakenly targeted Kurzgesagt, leaving the channel with its worst-performing upload since 2013.

One of the largest slop-machines targeting one of the most vocal and popular anti-slop edutainment channels as slop feels like a targeted attack...

    They've admitted to using "AI" content editing tools. But, I'd bet most of those tools are using "AI" either due to exploiting hype, or due to being based on non-generative, "AI" ML classifiers.

    I wonder if it could be that the AI trains on popular content, meaning AI slop sometimes looks like Kurzgesagt because it's ripping it off, which means the slop filter learns to recognize the original content that got ripped off as slop...?

    Yeah, of you go to their page to upload content, it now has prompt where you can generate one. It is just a stunt to fool people that they fighting and that it is hard, when in reality they want the slop as it is addictive to kids.

    Educational entertainment, also referred to by the portmanteau edutainment

    The word has been around since 1973 and is included in many dictionaries. If you want to correct someone, at least inform yourself beforehand.
