Youtube AI filter making it dangerous to watch for people with Epilepsy due to a bug (www.youtube.com)

There is a bug in Youtube's AI filter that is causing some videos to flicker. The content creator have no idea that is happening and no way to opt out. If you have Epilepsy it is recommended that you watch out for these situations

Also as content creators dont know this may be happening, if you find these issues you should try to contact the respective content creator and let them know this is happening on your specific device. Again, its so random it may only happen on some devices

I'm the author of my video content, not YouTube.

I carefully produce and render it, carefully ensuring it meets the quality level I require, and then I upload it.

I assume YouTube will transcode it, sure, but I assume they have expert engineers who have tailored the transcoding system to maintain the highest possible video quality whilst hitting whatever their filesize goals are.

At no point should AI be applied to alter the content of my video in any way, especially without my consent. That's ridiculous.

Sadly YouTube owns your content, not you.

I mean, not really. You can apply for copyright on your content that has been posted to YouTube. If you don't like how YouTube is distributing your content, applying AI filters to it or whatever, you can take it down. If you want to upload your content somewhere else, you can. You own your content, YouTube just distributes it how they see fit.

Unless you grant copyright to YouTube when you upload a video, which seems very unlikely given the corporate interests involved, this is misinformation.
