@thibaultmol
Thanks for the tip. Looks great!
IMHO it should be in Youtubes own interest to block pure AI slop. If the platform becomes known to be flooded with slop, people will inevitably turn away and that means less revenue for them.
@notjustbikes@bike4climate @thibaultmol @notjustbikes The YouTube team probably doesn't want all that digital garbage flooding their servers as well, not even speaking about actually paying out ad revenue for it.
Meanwhile the rest of the company has the slop machine running on full-tilt.

Here's the latest AI slop creator ripping off my content.
This time they ran my script through an AI "podcast" generator (likely the free one by Adobe) and put it under the footage from my latest video.
When I make my videos, I spend hours travelling and filming on-location to get real footage that can't be found anywhere else.
Then these AI slop creators steal it and release it as their own.
About 90% of my exposure to "AI" these days is just slop farms ripping me off.
@notjustbikes Apply Nightshade and Glaze to your content, perhaps, prior to posting? https://nightshade.cs.uchicago.edu/index.html

@grepe @jo @notjustbikes social media was, mostly, a mistake.
@remove_huilo @grepe @jo @notjustbikes And I don't know how anyone can say we've overcome that challenge. It's right now being leveraged in several countries to force massive surveillance on everyone. AI could go away and we'd still have that shit.

You do have to watch out for grumpy-old-man-syndrome as you age, but the enshitification of everything is real and *the algorithms* and AI have very much been a huge part of ruining it all.

@notjustbikes This is both sad and infuriating.
I'm glad I can support my favourite creators (like yourself) on Nebula but this is far from a satisfying answer.
Without creators making interesing videos, youtube is just an empty box.
They really need to step up if it wants to protect its legacy and its future@noncandeggiare @notjustbikes I doubt they do. Just want to hoover up as much money as possible as fast as possible and don't care one bit.
All other considerations rescinded.
Crew expendable. -

The video is offline because I sent them a copyright takedown, but here's a segment of it. Just vapid, useless slop.
YouTube is becoming flooded with this garbage and it's actively making the platform less viable for real creators to make real content.
@notjustbikes the thumbnail tells the whole story

@notjustbikes Its kind of wild. They just assume everyone is as lazy as they are and it is all just stock footage anyways.

@crazyeddie @remove_huilo @jo @notjustbikes the very fact that we are talking about it on fedi rather than on facebook or reddit means that we are very much at least looking for a solution to that social media thing and that we have something that is at least first attempt to overcome it. is it perfect or does it mean the problems youbare talking about don't exist? no!

But whatever.

@notjustbikes Often it feels like a never ending battle, but extensions like https://aisloplist.com/
atleast make an attempt to hide the slop videos while browsing youtube.(i'm one of the reviewers of slop submissions through that extension)
@thibaultmol It's fine for the users but unfortunately doesn't solve the problem for authors who do the original content that is stolen by AI-fakes.

@notjustbikes That was 20 seconds of torture.

@grepe @jo @notjustbikes social media was, mostly, a mistake.
@remove_huilo Social media existed already in the early 1990s with mailinglists, chats, forums and even video. And it was great!
I think that you mean the algorithm-driven big and centralised social media platforms?

@notjustbikes I'm pretty sure that's Google Notebook . Either way, clear theft.

@notjustbikes It's a horror. Do you see any possibilities to act against the slop?
In the comments people recommend alternatives. Unfortunately, that's only for the users and doesn't prevent from steeling.
I had the same problem with my podcast: sometimes the audience consisted of more scraping bots than people. Young people told me that they could transfer my podcast into an AI video on youtube with ease! Or use a transcript with artificial voices. They could even scrape my voice for a very -

It doesn't help to place content on "good" alternatives. The scrapers scrape the whole internet, every private website.
Result for me: A break. I don't find the energy to work so hard on my topics.
At the moment I blog on a site which is at least protected against the legal scrapers.
We do need tough laws and regulations.
