There are two schools of thought. There’s the glass-half-full outlook where YouTube is asking us if its videos feel like AI slop because it wants to make the platform slop-free. Then there’s the more pessimistic takeaway that YouTube is asking humans what does and doesn’t feel like AI slop so that it can move closer to AI-generated videos being indiscernible from the real thing.

Likely the later, given the Rick Beato scandal. (TL;DR: YT sloppified his videos without asking him permission, and everyone raged.)
