LocalExt··on Cannot Upvote
For me it's working.
LocalExt··on The solution might be cancelling my AI subscription
You are good with that 20 mins :) I wrote a maxscript for 3Dmax to speed up some tasks, and i got stuck in coding. Then I asked the AI for debug, then to write a snippet, etc...I lost 3-4 days. At the end I found a developer on Fiverr who fixed my script for $20 :)

LocalExt··on YouTube to automatically label AI-generated videos
I think AI is good as a 'muse' or getting idea (not just for music)...Creating anything with AI is as a ghostwriting. You are labeled as a creator, but you aren't. "...but as a tool for energy and participation, it completely unlocked my creativity." I totally agree...This could be the reason of AI in any kind of art.
LocalExt··on YouTube to automatically label AI-generated videos
I would remove automatically the video if the creator did not label as AI. Or making a new part of Youtube like AiTube.
