Youtube's filter removed the audio track from a video of mine that was essentially silent to start with. There was certainly no music, TV, movie, etc... in the background.

- giancarlostoro 8y agoThat is outright ridiculous. There should be a level of human intervention to determine okay this cant be a damn copyright issue this AI is coocoo.
- StudentStuff 8y agoLetting black box "AI" that is often incorrect run wild is way less expensive than having a human intervene to review flagged videos. Hence the rise of machine learning algorithms that can do all kinds of neat things, but fail hard on the plethora of edge cases that exist.
- TeMPOraL 8y agoHence the need for penalties on false positives. Alas, here this won't happen on its own, because streaming platforms need people with money (and their content) more than the reverse.
- growt 8y agoYou were obviously playing four minutes thirty-three seconds of silence by John Cage[1] on repeat in the background! Crystal clear copyright violation! [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4%E2%80%B233%E2%80%B3 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4%E2%80%B233%E2%80%B3
- Zak 8y agoThat actually came up in a now-deleted comment. Incidentally, the audio is back now, though I made no request for review. I wonder if they periodically rescan content when they make changes to the algorithm. Here's the video for the curious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCEjJhm8qYM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCEjJhm8qYM There is someone with a financial interest in not having people watch it, but removing the audio won't help them.
