I learned to ignore the AI summaries after the first time I saw one that described the exact OPPOSITE conclusion/stance of the video it purported to summarize.

- leobg 10mo agoIt would be nice of them to diffuse the clickbait. As it is, when a video has a catchy clickbait title, I screenshot the thumbnail and have ChatGPT give me the solution. Or I’ll copy the URL into a transcript fetcher and feed that into Gemini so I can ask specific questions. He who clickbaits is demoted to the role of “Suggest a topic for me to ask ChatGPT about”.

- ssl-3 10mo agoYou know... When I see something that crosses my threshold of clickbait on my YouTube feed, I just select "Not interested" or "Don't recommend channel". Given the contrast between my usual logged-in Youtube feed, and the rampant sea of unfettered clickbait I see when I've been logged out on any particular device. He who clickbaits is therefore demoted to the role of seldom or never being seen [by me] at all. This makes sense: If the algorithm exists to increase viewership and engagement, then the algorithm therefore serves to show me stuff that I'll watch. It does not serve to present to me things that I will not watch. And it works. I can't even find any clickbaity material right now to reference. It's pretty great.
