#YouTube Creators

YouTube has confirmed that they’re experimenting with AI-powered video processing, altering Shorts content without notifying creators. Initially reported by BBC, several creators cited their concerns with visual changes in their uploads. There’s also Rhett Shull, who slammed YouTube for ‘terrible over-sharpening’, making his content appear AI-generated. https://youtu.be/86nhP8tvbLY?si=x6rxek_qOwHj9pFd YouTube described their actions as efforts to ‘improve clarity’ through machine learning methods. A debate is up right now, arguing whether creators should be informed if their videos are altered. YouTube has yet to respond on whether there will be an option to opt out of the video alterations at the time of writing. YouTube on Tuesday has announced new tool and improvements on its comment section tools to resist spams, bots, and abusive language. The platform says that such issues are some headaches of creators today and has put a priority to tackle them to 'improve the comments experience for everyone'.
