Wondering if there's some sort of big list of channels whose videos are known to be mostly or entirely AI stuff, whether the text, the narrator or other details. It's really annoying to start watching and noticing something "off", only to check the channel and notice that it's been pumping out 25-30min videos every 2 days for the past year.

It's easy to avoid the AI animation stuff, but it's annoying when you're looking for history, psychology, science and other stuff.

It's really getting on my last nerve as well. I get excited to see new content only to hear the robot voice that lets me know I can't trust anything in the video.

I need to look into Nebula or something else. There's still as many great channels as ever on YT, but they just get so hard to find with all the endless BS now.

That's odd, I almost never see them. Pretty much the only time I see bad AI videos even recommend are when the Google AI result references some slop with a few hundred views as a source.

I'm typically searching from within the app, and it's mainly when I'm looking for more generic content like histories of civilizations or unusual astronomy facts, and what was the Triassic like. That probably makes it easier to generate videos since they're broader in scope. When I search more specific things, I will typically get better results.

But I search the more generic stuff when I want to relax for a bit or go to sleep, so it also feels more obnoxious to get made up stuff because then I have to keep clicking on new videos to get something actually made by a person because I'm trying to relax, not work.
