YouTube has launched a new feature that uses AI to generate comment recommendations, and users aren’t happy with it. Various companies over the last couple of years have found ways to integrate artificial intelligence models into their products, and Google-owned video platform YouTube is among those. They recently added a new feature to YouTube comments that uses its AI model to recommend users what they should say, and it quickly went viral across social media. Since the release, many have shared their distaste for the feature with some slamming it as “tone deaf.” YouTube AI comment recommendations slammed by users In an article published on Thursday, December 12, 404Media spoke with YouTuber LazyGameReviews who shared his thoughts about the AI comment recommendations. “My creativity and craft stems completely from my own brain, and handing that off to some machine learning thing that mimics my style not only takes away from the enjoyment of it all for me, but it feels supremely disingenuous,” the YouTuber said. “The automated comments in particular come across as tone-deaf, since a huge reason YouTube makes sense at all is the communication and relationship between audience and creator. I’ve had dozens of people say that they now second-guess every interaction with YouTubers in the comments since it could easily be a bot, a fake response.” He even posted a video showing the comments that YouTube recommends, and pointed out several issues with them in the process. Related: LazyGameReviews hasn’t been the only person to point out flaws with YouTube’s AI recommendation feature either, as X is full of people pointing out issues with the feature. “YouTube is now giving creators detailed AI responses to comments. Heartless...” one user commented.

Rollin balls,” they said. youtube added an AI reply feature for commenting back i’m DYING at the second one 😂😭 ROLLIN BALLS 😈😈 pic.twitter.com/67KdZB8bxF This isn’t the only AI-powered feature YouTube has launched over the last few weeks, either.

United, Apple rolling out new way to track lost luggage with AirTags
South Punjab PTI workers show signs of distress to join Islamabad protest MULTAN: Pakistan Tehreek Insaf (PTI) has announced the Islamabad protest on November 24 and a day or two are left but neither the party has started registration of workers nor camps have been established to enrol them for the rally. The PTI city, district or divisional party chapters did not hold a single party meeting for political activity. The PTI workers widely criticized party MNAs and MPAs elected on party ticket in the last general election but they are completely isolated from the rest of the party. The workers expressed disappointment over the responses of elected representatives. Five MPAs elected from Multan in the last general election were tasked by the PTI to mobilise 5000 workers each for a rally in Islamabad. PTI workers have expressed scepticism about the feasibility of this directive, given the current situation. They question how 25,000 workers can be effectively mobilised and managed while adhering to party objectives. The logistical challenges are significant, with transportation alone estimated to cost around Rs 1 billion. Bus owners in Multan have quoted Rs 100,000 to Rs 125,000 per bus for the Multan-Islamabad, excluding meal and accommodation expenses. Each MPA would require approximately 100 buses to transport 5000 workers, necessitating a budget of Rs 10 million. PTI workers criticize the party leadership for underestimating the scale and complexity of the task, highlighting the impracticality of the given directive. The task of 5000 party workers by each MPA is enough to sabotage the Islamabad rally, they said. The PTI workers observed it is a herculean task to force 5000 people to join the rally for Islamabad. Five PTI MPAs elected from Multan include Adnan Dogar, Ayaz Ahmed, Moenuddin Qureshi, Nadeem Qureshi and Nawabzada Wasim Khan Badozai. They joined the Sunni Ittehad Council later. Attempts were made to contact all five MPAs, but not a single MPA attended his phone.Published 5:41 pm Tuesday, November 26, 2024 By Data Skrive The injury report for the Charlotte Hornets (6-11) ahead of their game against the Miami Heat (7-7) currently features six players.
