Relax everyone, those AI-looking synthetic non-consensual re-renderings of some of the biggest creators' videos by YouTube are not GEN-AI. They are MACHINE SCHOOL BOY LITTLE BABY LEARN AND GROW INNOCENT BABY LEARNING.

It's just a little sharpening. Pay no attention to the advertisements inserted in the background or the words changed to match the dictator's personality.

Could someone point me in the direction of what it is the good Captain is talking about, like maybe a search term to avoid posting a link or something

youtu.be/86nhP8tvbLY?... YouTube is applying an AI filter thing to shorts to "enhance" the video quality that's making them look like AI generated slop

I'm going to have to rewatch this on my laptop because I saw one video about musicians where the uploader says there are two.

It just looks like really aggressive edge enhancement, hence why it looks like shit

Love that they would rather use random thought up terminology for AI crap then actually stop forcing AI crap onto people which is literally just draining their money

tbh "Machine learning" is a far more accurate term and is what was used for LLMs for decades before "AI" became the new buzzword

While more accurate, even more accurate would have been "example-driven parameters optimisation". ML is also a marketing move, which tries to hide that someone comes up with and fixes the model, someone gathers the examples. When they say ML, it's as if machine is growing and learning all by itself.

nah machine learning is a reasonable term because its directly designed to mimic reinforcement learning in humans ML is concise and descriptive enough to do the job well, AI is incredibly vague and generally not useful

It's too broad of a term. A lot of stuff under that umbrella has been around long before generative stuff hit the market.

its just hard to sell machine learning as this Big New Thing when we've had it and have been using it for years without anyone really caring

What I think YouTube is doing is using AI upscaling techniques. It's like what some GPUs are also trying to do so they can render a videogame at low resolution, then display a large resolution.
