Maybe AI will speed up the process of making this stuff either ignored or unacceptable. Things gotta get worse before they get better...
Currently, I can detect content farm garbage. Will I be able to when AI starts churning out videos?
Volume is also a concern. If 10x more videos are AI trash, it functionally just becomes harder to find what you want.
WRT propaganda, I think the past few years have proven that people are just absolutely terrible at resisting political manipulation. I don’t support censorship as a solution to this issue, but at the same time it seems impossible to imagine AI doing anything other than making this problem significantly worse.
I also wonder how much worse AI will make the filter bubble phenomenon. I don’t just mean with regard to political extremism, but also when it comes to basic alienation from your peers. Too much homogenous culture wasn’t a good thing, but infinitely personalized culture is pretty alienating as well.
It is already full of it! If you are into bananas you type "bananas" in the box and a video comes out that is disturbingly watchable (but easy to spot with its "open eye" kind of typos and dull stockphotos)
Most popular youtube content is already garbage in my opinion but many small kids are already happy viewing bottom tier AI gibberish for hours.
And if endless AI content will soon be good enough to hit the dopamine centers in adults, only the connoisseurs will seek out the human made content making the markets impossibly small for artisans creating video content.
It's already a tragedy that socialmedia has made it so 95% of all content consumed on the internet is made in the last 24 hours lowering the value of making an effort.
Everyone is in desperate need of quality, boundaries and strict media diets including myself.
