I’ve noticed that lots of videos on social media and on YouTube, specifically the Shorts, have this strange filter on them that makes them look AI generated. Even videos that I’ve seen before without the filter and know are authentic because they were created before people could make realistic AI videos.
Do you think this is intentionally done by content creators and/or the companies themselves to make AI content more easily accepted?
Obviously take this with a grain of salt. I’ve seen multiple people on YouTube say that both videos and shorts were opted in to AI filters being used in their channel for “touch ups.” I saw at least one person had to re-upload the video because they were unable to remove the filter.
Think it’s in the interest of YouTube, or any other content creation platform that allows their creators to leverage the platforms own AI tools, for the consumer to NOT be able to tell who is and who isn’t using those tools.
That’s crazy. Forcing it on people. Makes sense for the long term though
