Maybe they're just going for "disclosure" as in people understanding it's AI, and hopefully mitigating fake news. Don't know if it impacts monetization?
replyIf the video is entertainig I doubt people will mind it's AI. Let's wait and see.
Also they're probably trying to prevent lawmakers from coming up with stricter limits. "We're already marking AI videos as AI, no need to change!"
replyIs it really any different than Google wants advertisers on YT, but still labels ads as ads?
replyThey don't really want to label ads as ads (no advertiser really does...); they're forced by regulations from multiple countries.
replyMaybe I'm weird, but I believe in the theory that (all else equal) it's good for business to minimize how much your users hate your product/service.
replyIn other words, users dislike the feeling of not knowing whether things are ads. I can't see any real downside to labeling them, so you're better off doing it so you don't drive users away.
Google is not a monolith. For all intents and purposes YouTube might as well be a totally different company than Deepmind. Everyone in there own respective google fiefdom is trying to maximize their own metrics.
replyWhy are they saying to not distribute on YouTube they just want to give an indicator. Same with labeling if a video is an AD. I find some of the obvious AI content to be funny or informative .

replyI mean, here's what I don't get: why does YouTube care? We're already uploading an entire human lifespan worth of videos to YouTube every day, do they really benefit from more content? Or is this content somehow inherently more monetizable than what people are already uploading?
