We've all seen the absolutely diabolical garbage of the highest order that AI slop is on YouTube.

It got me thinking how would you deal with it?

As I understand it YouTube are cracking down on AI slop at least in regards to monetisation but is there more they can do?

Yet at the same time it seems that YouTube is actively pushing AI features itself.

Bit of a dilemma here.
 
I would not restrict AI-generated content completely. My point of interest would be whether that kind of content is actually valuable. The primary concern is not about AI but rather about low-quality platforms that produce dozens of videos almost alike within minutes.
 
I think demonetising low effort AI videos is a start, but not enough. The real problem is volume, so maybe better detection and limiting spam uploads could help.
 
YouTube has a tricky balance: it can reduce AI slop by tightening monetisation rules, spam detection and content quality filters, but it can't fully ban AI since it also uses and promotes AI tools itself. The real solution is better enforcement and rewarding original, human-driven content.
 
Users should have to upload their editing files for effort consideration. That would solve everything, a one off local client hash code scan type thing, that gets checked online. So like your adobe after effects, or your premier, unity, infinity, da vinchi, whatever they could open an api, that allows us to tap into it, so all softwares could be supported, it would depend on the developers. Then timelines can be verified, and images, and videos clips, sound audio, and all the things that make up an editing program. Seems too big brother though now i even thought about it! lol
