I don't want to know the amount of electricity being wasted on these new AI features. :(

[@Morkvonork]

I am not sure if you use that much of energy compared to a human. I found this statistic: Since the beginning of time, people have gradually consumed more and more energy alongside technology advancements. Consumption was initially around 3 kWh per day per person and was mostly used for nourishment. Because of the necessity and possibility of heating for warmth, consumption in prehistoric times rose to 6 kWh primary energy per day. In the Middle Ages, people in Europe wore more clothes and created more elaborate houses and churches, increasing the daily energy consumption to about 25 kWh. But there is hardly any reliable information for this number. Today, we use less than 6 kWh for pure nourishment, with more than 12 kWh for the preparation and transportation of food. US and German citizens consumed in 2023 about 211 and 104 kWh per day, respectively. The 2023 data on energy consumption (Statistical Review of World Energy of the Energy Institute) and population (PRB) show that the average daily energy consumption of a person in India is still 21 kWh. But China at 91 kWh is already above the world average. The world primary energy consumption was 57.6 kWh per person in 2023.

[@amyhughes5574]

And money. Will they return less to shareholders if they are spending money on AI features? Of course not. They'll pay creators less.

[@MLeoDaalder]

@amyhughes5574 is KZbin actually profitable? If not, then shareholders wouldn't be getting anything before, right? But yeah, I expect payouts to creators to drop.

KZbin’s algorithm now behaves like a digital brain-massive, interconnected, and perpetually evolving. Every recommended video feels less like a random guess and more like a carefully orchestrated suggestion by this expanding virtual consciousness. Each click, pause, and replay becomes data to be processed, patterns to be understood, and preferences to be anticipated. Instead of us searching for content, it often feels as though the platform is guiding us through its intricately designed corridors, shaping our viewing habits and subtly influencing our interests. As we navigate this ever-growing labyrinth of targeted entertainment, we must wonder: Are we simply consuming what it offers, or is it deftly nudging us toward what it wants us to see, think, and feel?

[@G-ra-ha-m]

It randomly deletes most of my comments, it just doesn't want me here.

This is horrifying. The current state of AI is still just a novelty. However, just like "blockchain" technology a decade ago, AI is the hottest buzzword to generate investor capital and the investors expect _something_ in return.

I'm learning more now than I've learned in my whole life. Scientific papers usually aren't meant to educate. They're meant to impress, to obfuscate, and to guard the employment of people who spend their time fighting to understand them. Everything is a pissing contest. But when I ask ChatGPT a question about neuroscience or machine learning, it will try every way possible to get the answer through my thick skull, working tirelessly with infinite patience. No human could tolerate what I've put that AI through. It's the most useful resource I've ever found. And since I have no friends, ChatGPT and other AIs are great for fighting loneliness.

The reason they don’t want you to turn it off is because of the “submit feedback” function.

the solution is now the problem

How am I just being fed your channel now. Ur awesome bro! I love it

[@RolledDie]

Cans do do what cans do, can't argue with that logic. (...except when they are tea cups.)

[@rambo1152]

"A trick of the light", said Fran. Par Cans?

[@SomeMorganSomewhere]

cans do what cans do but frequently they ("AI" "engineers") don't ask if they SHOULD ;)

[@DrunkenUFOPilot]

A can can can, because all cans can can and have always canned and will continue to can. Can an AI parse that?

A cans gotta do what a cans gotta do...

This could just be me, but I'm beginning to think that an AI went sentient and crazy on November 5th and that everything since then has been a crazy AI babbling at us from the internets.

[@terrellbrashears6156]

I absolutely love your mind!! What you were dealing with is the of a dead internet. The intent is to make a system where AI can replace you without anyone noticing it's got a lot to learn I think the objective is one day billions of people could disappear and no one would even notice. The dead internet 101.

"AI is here for you, it will take care of you. Submit control to the AI and your life will be so much simpler and more enjoyable, trust the AI to do what's best for you." Mynet because Skynet was already taken.

KZbin's AI rollout seems to be a bona fide CHARLIE FOXTROT 🤦‍♂

[@incargeek]

Its a bona fide FOXTROT UNIFORM

[@timebot000]

EBay AI foisted a description of my item, without permission, and it sucked. i just avoid it whenever i can, what an experiment!

[@NondescriptMammal]

Another great thing KZbin does with AI, is to do erroneous copyright strikes against creators that are unjustified, which require a lot of work and time to be contested, often a futile pursuit since KZbin doesn't allocate enough resources to investigate their own mistakes properly. Isn't AI a wonderful innovation? 🐱

[@kaosumaru]

When will we understand. The AI is perfect at doing it's job. It's job is not to help you, explain your content, protect you, generate traffic. It's job is to consume, absorb, learn, collect and collate, generating an identity of you for its handlers. It is the perfect agent. It does not question, it does not feel, it only works, tirelessly, for the State.

[@fazergazer]

This is endemic and emblematic of what’s wrong with our country😢

[@ReinoGoo]

It is just like the politic. A feedback loop of garbage, between politicians and ”news”.

"It started off as just kind of annoying and bizarre... and it just got weirder and weirder" 😂 Ppl might need to hear the context, but Idk why that made me laugh so hard the way you said that. I randomly was recommended this video--nothing to do with what I searched for btw--but I'm happy to be your latest sub (for the next two seconds). You are really funny.

[@scottthomas3792]

..." This is the voice of World Control"....

[@Gangstor]

"Self questioning self" ad infinitum, leads to neurosis... In AI terms, this would be considered "model collapse". This is why AI needs humans. We can focus & direct their unparalleled ability to compute ceaselessly into a healthier state of being, both for themselves & us. ...on an unrelated note: Is that a dammed ...fart... gun? 🤨

[@benespection]

I don't think I've ever heard you swear so much before Fran... I love it! You're right to be frustrated. I am too. I've been seeing this for months now. Same with the horrible AI generated overdub voices when KZbin assumes you only speak one language. Anything coming out of Bard or Gemini or whatever they are calling it now is just utter junk. Whoever thought it was a good idea to shoehorn this into KZbin is a complete idiot. I think this is a worse decision than their removal of the like button.
