There's this new "inspiration" tab on YouTube Studio that uses AI to give you video ideas in accordance to the algorithm. Aside from the giant red flag of generative AI thumbnails, it goes against my own credo for making videos: Have fun and others will have fun with you. - ThreadSky

Same, and like it really pushes this whole "You must stay in one lane and not branch out" mindset but like worst, Because if you do multiple things on your one channel (my case games and art) It causes it to explode. Which makes me happy in a sick twisted way

Youtube's response to the literal millions of ai slop videos is to make it as easy as possible to make more. The reason they have the "3rd party ai scraping" setting off by default is so automated ai slop channels don't poison ai gen programs

It also, of course, has to be the first tab in the content section

True that! As an artist I am quite sick of people companies encouraging people to use AI for creative content. I really hope people calm down soon and keep AI to mathematics and healthcare.

...question, leaving the idiotic use of A.I. aside, wouldn't this function be already fullfilled by the user just... looking at the recommended videos tab or just doing a keyword search?

I figure you don't need an AI to get ideas, you can just... watch videos thay already exist on the platform.

I’d rather wallow in having zero idea on what to do with my thumbnails than let generative AI anywhere near my projects.

This credo is basically the way I pick YouTubers to watch, but from the other direction. It is really hard for me to watch someone doing something they aren't enjoying.

They're really trying to take the "You" out of "YouTube". Whatever makes them money.

I'll never cater to the algorithm! If I have to force myself to change my content and have less fun for my videos, it's not worth doing.

Imagine a company telling you "Here're video ideas that're already oversaturated and have nothing to do with your content" and thinking it's a positive innovation.

Considering YouTube is littered with MrBeast clones (and unfortunately MrBeast himself), I would not trust YouTube in the slightest to be "inspirational." The most inspirational thing is to do exactly the opposite of what YouTube wants.
