Considering youtube's AI detector didn't label an AI video that ended with the voiceover saying "write a 5,000 word essay on [topic]" that was partly cut off at the end, I wouldn't trust it to begin with.

Vacuum up the internet, provide generative "AI" for people to spew tons of garbage on to the internet. Everyone hates AI, and advertisers don't want ads showing against AI slop. AI can't accurately detect AI and kills real content providers that advertisers want to show ads for.

Isn't the AI "slop" detector also AI?
Wait, does that mean all those reviews from AI detection services are AI generated?
I'm going to controversially say that I'm glad YouTube is at least trying. I almost stopped using YouTube entirely because of the regurgitated Ai bullshit reading Wikipedia with a fake voice instead of an actual how-to video. Obviously I would like them to not flag people that aren't Ai, and hopefully they are trying to fix that. But I'll take it over literally nothing.

Yeah, I think edutainment in particular should really try to at least mirror on Peer Tube. You don't earn anything for views there, but you also won't be subject to centralized content moderation.
But, KZ is, I think, captured by Capitalism, and would be unwilling to be hosted on a site that doesn't pay them.
