I’ve found that the AI label doesn’t necessarily mean AI slop, it just means there’s a non zero amount of AI in the video. I want to avoid AI slop but not all videos that have an AI title screen or whatever.

AI is replacing me by kold
"Was AI used to generate or edit your content in any of the following ways?
- Makes a real person appear to say or do something they didn’t say or do
- Alters footage of a real event or place
- Generates a realistic-looking scene that didn’t actually occur
To follow YouTube’s policy, you’re required to tell us about your use of AI. This includes realistic sounds or visuals made or edited with AI. [View examples](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/14328491)"
So oddly an intro graphic only has to be tagged as AI if it shows a real/realistic person, place, or event, but (per the examples page) apparently any AI-generated music counts.
These videos are still marked as AI, and fairly so; however I don't think that means people should want them hidden :-(
Sorry but no, even if the music is great I don't want to hear it if the cover was AI generated, at this point I'd happily accept even a crudely drawn cover because it is human :)
As opposed to thinking of a play on words between the game/the original song and having an AI make the joke cover per my directions, instead of me just doing it (worse) by hand, which is "I don't care about quality?"
The whole point of the video is not the visual component, it's really just about sharing the non-AI music.
They read AI as 'grifter who probably doesn't care about any aspect'.
I figured that LLMs saving me the 20 mins in GIMP making a silly joke filler album cover was the perfect use case... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
