WTF? YouTube is using AI to tweak videos on its platform, without creators' knowledge.

2. According to that article, it isn't really a ban of all AI videos, but they're trying to eliminate the worst, most

obvious AI videos by demonetizing them and possibly banning the creators of those videos.

Is AI Use Completely Banned in YouTube Content?

The straight answer is no. The platform’s latest policies never mentioned that all content that uses AI will be banned. As long as creators use AI responsibly and add substantial creative value, the content will be acceptable.

YouTube has clarified that this policy is a minor refinement of the existing rules. Therefore, AI tools are still permitted, as long as they are used to support human-made content or analysis. However, to stay in the safe zone, creators should use generative AI tools for captions, summaries, and voices without losing the value of the content. It’s recommended not to copy content.

Editing, because I forgot to include the key sentence near the start of the article:

Low-quality, AI-generated videos have destroyed the content quality and monetization on the platform.

The AI slop has been hurting their profits.
