Has anyone else noticed the increase of entirely AI generated videos in YouTube suggestions and search results? They tend to be about completely made historical

  It's all just "10 hours of jingling keys": https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/jingling-keys https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/jingling-keys Doesn't need to mean anything or feel anything, it's just a pleasant form of white noise for the eyeballs and brain behind.

  I recently saw an interview with one of the people doing those videos. He makes over $15k per month, so I doubt it will go away without Google interference, but they obviously take a sizable cut of the total earnings from the same videos as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qg36r8KH8U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qg36r8KH8U

  Of course. Not just in videos, but in pre-roll ads as well. This is why some of us feel enormously pessimistic about generative AI and AI-based automation. The ideal customers for this are marketing companies that need to churn out even more grist for the social media content mill. How much ink has been spilled on HN lamenting the SEO-ification of the web and impossible volumes of blogspam on search results? Yet if you posit that AI will make it worse, the villagers come out with their pitchforks.
