I watch a lot of STEAM videos on YouTube. In the past I loved supporting new creators but some time last year I stopped trying new channels that don’t have human presenter, there’s just so much slop. Now I’ve noticed that there are channels where even the presenter is AI. I can spot a few tells (presenter is never on screen for very long, voice pacing doesn’t vary, no ums and ahs, etc) but it’s getting harder and I wish I knew more clues.
One thing that seems to help is checking the channel history (does the presenter age, have they only started making content very recently etc)
Can someone recommend a good, recent guide to spotting AI videos?
Often they seem to use headings, bullet points, and weird flowery summaries and language that’s just unnatural in it’s context. Like analogies, they usually give analogies that aren’t needed and are usually confidently said. While humans using analogies do sound a lot less confident, awkward, ad-hoc, and are typically only applied to topics where it’s actually needed.
