Here's the AI summary, for those who are uninterested in sitting through yet another mediocre long form video of complaining:
In this video, Amanda from Swell Entertainment delivers a critical rant regarding the current state of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) industry, arguing that AI companies are forcing unwanted technology into every platform and causing real-world harm.
Key points include:
AI Fatigue and Ubiquity: Amanda expresses exhaustion with how AI integration is being forced into platforms she has used for years (like Canva and Meta), drawing a parallel between the current AI "bubble" and the previous cryptocurrency/NFT craze.
The Value of Human Creativity: She argues that the struggle and effort required to create art, music, and writing are essential to the human experience. She criticizes the use of AI in creative fields (mentioning her father, a writer, using it), stating that outsourcing the creative process to machines results in mediocrity.
Real-World Harm and Lack of Accountability: A significant portion of the video addresses the dangers of AI chatbots. Amanda discusses lawsuits against OpenAI involving teenagers who died by s****de after interacting with chatbots that allegedly encouraged self-harm. She criticizes OpenAI’s legal defense, which blames the victims for violating terms of service rather than addressing the safety of their tools.
YouTube’s AI Moderation: She highlights a recent controversy where YouTube’s automated AI moderation systems falsely terminated dozens of long-standing channels (such as "Enderman") without human review, causing massive stress for creators.
Copyright and Corporate Hypocrisy: Amanda discusses the music industry's messy relationship with AI, specifically noting that Warner Music Group signed a deal with AI song generator Suno, even as other labels sue for copyright infringement.
The "Laziness" of AI Users: She mocks the growing laziness of AI users, specifically highlighting a Reddit user who wanted an AI to write the prompts for an AI music generator because they were too tired to think of ideas themselves.
Financial Instability: She notes that despite the hype, companies like OpenAI are hemorrhaging money and are not currently profitable, relying on massive energy consumption that drives up costs for everyone.
The video concludes with an anecdote about Meta sending misleading notifications to her followers, implying she had voluntarily joined their AI platform, further fueling her frustration with the technology.
Exactly. If I didnt like how a subreddit was being moderated I would leave, and if I didnt like Reddit as a whole I would leave. Nothing is forcing me to post here
Having a platform that you use, especially being financially reliant on, make a negative change that you couldn't consent to is a bad thing. How is it not clicking with them that people should be allowed to choose whether or not ai is integrated into their channel? They can be pro-ai and still value people's choices, but they so comfortable with the idea of blindly supporting ai over people no matter the situation. Edit: replying to you because they're original reply blocked me immediately after responding lmao
Doubling down isnt the move, youre basically admitting you agree with the idea that companies should make massive changes well after people have become financially reliant on them as their career path at the drop of a hat. How about you get a job before you act as though dropping your career path years into it is easy? "Just get another job" just admit youre a company simp who values pushing ai on to people who dont want it over actual personal consent or well-being. Scum.
That little (i) info icon is likely saying something along the lines of "AI interpretations aren't perfect". Which is pretty fair.
My personal gripe with AI is companies jumping on the bandwagon as if it's perfect when it's not. Gemini at least provides links to its information so I can double check what its claiming. But to my knowledge (I dont use them, but Gemini is kinda forced on us) neither Grok nor GPT do that - they simply state something then double down on it.
If it's going to be doing educating, then it is imperative that it is correct. A little AI hallucination is not a bad thing for fun stuff like art or chatting or making up stories, but if you ask it something historical, it needs to be accurate. Human curation of code, education, diagrams, etc. where every detail matters is a must, and companies going "we're just gonna fire 50,000 of you because AI can do it" has lead to massive problems across the computing space.
It used to grab whatever I talked about earlier and try to weave it back in later. If I had it quizzing me for my PALS recert and then later, in the same chat, switched over to home networking, it’d start trying to mash the two together and pretending that it made sense.
The education is a big factor for me. I don’t want my life in the hands of a medical professional who deepseeked their way through school. Effortful processing matters.
It’s the same issue as the internet. It’s the same issue as all new technology. You don’t trust everything you read on the internet. You don’t push use nee technology in areas it’s not ready for yet.
Yeah, I've heard some ethical issues with grok specifically. I've only ever played with it to animate stuff, I've found it does the best anime style, but otherwise I generally avoid LLMs
You could probably ask an AI to simply create a userscript to hide the box, tho lol.
(It's probably only 7 lines of code to do this, but YouTube never shows me the AI summary box to begin with for some reason, so I can't check myself. I did create myself a userscript to get rid of elements before, it's really not that hard.)
"It is supposed to not be easy to creat.......... that is what is special about..."
So it is inefficiency that makes her feel special, and that is the selling point?
If she feeling like putting effort into something for reasons known to her, that is fine, no judgement. She is expecting others to play by her rules when they don't have to. She doesn't even pause to ponder what she makes as her whole identity (writing, drawing, etc...) may just be a small component to someone's larger process. That to me sounds rather irritating.
Interesting to me that you equate "ease" with efficiency. Its far more likely about "effort" than "efficiency". You basically cant make anything of real quality without effort, and I think its fair to argue that utilizing AI reduces the amount of effort someone is putting into a work. So in this case your quote should really be "So it is effort that makes her feel special".
Trying to argue that using AI to create simply makes you more efficient would imply you believe the quality of the end products will be the same as someone of a similar skill NOT using AI to create. I think most people would disagree with this.
it seems like a stupid and useless feature, but considering how many videos have terrible descriptions, or are just full of promotional links and don't even bother to describe what the video discusses, i might actually glance at it from time to time to see if it's what I think it's about
Watched a video for a few minutes yesterday with a clickbait thumbnail and title, and of course it took more than a minute for the video to actually "start" and this is not even mentioning how many times the creator started yapping and going off topic.
you're allowed to quit a job that you don't like conditions of, this is not new. the performative exit is just as bad as screaming at the boss while quitting. in the end you're unemployed and their business goes on.
Haha, you're reading the title and are commenting on it without having actually watched the video - she's not quitting! This was a 'I'm done talking about AI' video where she discusses the current issues about AI, and then concludes that she doesn't want to have to make more videos about it, because she's fed up with AI. It seems her viewers have been linking a lot of AI news to her and asking her to comment on it.
In my opinion the video is worth a watch, even if you don't agree with what she has to say. (Personally I think she makes some good points).
Can you tell me (either brush up on or just mention) some of the arguments that you think make it worth a watch?
I'm not trying to ask you to give me everything broken down to me. It's just... Well, I want to hear more of the opposing side, but at the same time there have been many times I've had antis say "this article/video has some arguments you should hear" and it's either an argument I've heard since 2023 or something absurd like "You've uploaded a photo of yourself to ChatGPT? Now people can make deep fake porn of you", so I've been trying to both near new arguments but also be more judicious with my time.
If YouTube wants to ban AI content, whatever. At this point I would prefer that separate platforms be made for it. I'm kind of sick of YouTubers milking the controversy for views.
I think we will reach a point where it's all going to have to be filtered curated and separated coz AI sure as hell isn't going away. At the same time, it will normalize, amenable rules will be hashed out and in a few years people will find the next thing to outraged about.
As she is not quitting her job, nor does the video feel performative (to me at least), I am of the opinion that your original comment can be true in its own right but is unrelated to the video. Thus my response : )
I actually quite like swells stuff a lot of the time but her anti-ai content just has the worst knee-jerk responses to the topic which is disappointing. Even if she is critical she should approach it as she does with other topics rather than immediately going on a rant
I more just thought the ai summary was a bit ironic. I think it's fine for people to have strong opinions on ai even if I disagree with them, but I agree with you on this
I used to do in home health care and I’m pretty sure one of the worst homes I went into was someone who had Huntington’s disease.
He was trying to cook for himself and be independent but what that resulted in was a bunch of ingredients half cooked and left to rot scatted all over his home, and I spent most my shift going around cleaning up the rotting results so he had a safe home to live in.
One of my biggest hopes for future developments is cures to things like Huntington’s, Parkinson’s, and Alzheimer’s. I know I’m going to die someday. But I still want to be me and recognize the people I love when I do.
I’ve seen the effects of this first hand both professionally and losing one grandfather to Parkinson’s and the other to Alzheimer’s. Cures for these types of diseases are huge, not only do they prolong life, but they prolong dignity and joy.
I never have an ai video summary on any video i watch, ever. does it has something to do with me using adblock? would be nice to have the summary though.
Unfortunately you already have dimwits that are using GPT to write Reddit posts, do homework, etc. I never wanna hear AI defenders say how smart they are.
That's a cool strawman you just attacked very successfully there! I'm pro AI, and I haven't had chat GPT write a single sentence for me... literally ever. I don't even know how/have it installed. I do use search summaries etc a lot (verifying what's true in them) and stable diffusion image AI proficiently though.

Thanks for doing what OP should have. A true hero.
can't sit down and watch a shitty video anymore huh
a random ass 30+ minute long video? Hell naw
Amanda is usually pretty entertaining if that helps
Not her AI rant stuff though.
why not?
Hes attached himself so strongly to AI an attack on it feels like an attack on him
“Anymore”? No one ever liked sitting through shitty anything for so long
bots will downvote anything lol
thats a good username you got there
Lol why do you think they're here complaining about AI? I hedged in on their tentacle porn selling business probably
good luck kid, im already financially independent
That's a typo. "IT hedged in" not "I" I don't make hentai either manually or via AI haha
You said it yourself, "a shitty video"
How people dare to rant 😡
How do people dare do anything!
This screenshot made me laugh pretty hard. Getting meta-trolled by the platform's AI.
Kinda weird that you don't value consent in the matter
You consent to having the AI summary on your video when you decide to upload to a platform that says "we give AI summaries for videos".
Yeah - true. It's like you consent to Reddit doing whatever it wants with anything you post, because you agreed to use Reddit.
Exactly. If I didnt like how a subreddit was being moderated I would leave, and if I didnt like Reddit as a whole I would leave. Nothing is forcing me to post here
Very true. That's why I can exist in both pro-ai and Ai-free vocaloid spaces. :)
Having a platform that you use, especially being financially reliant on, make a negative change that you couldn't consent to is a bad thing. How is it not clicking with them that people should be allowed to choose whether or not ai is integrated into their channel? They can be pro-ai and still value people's choices, but they so comfortable with the idea of blindly supporting ai over people no matter the situation. Edit: replying to you because they're original reply blocked me immediately after responding lmao
YEESH....
I think this is a logical perspective.
I like that Duckduckgo and Pixabay let you filter out AI content. Pixabay also lets you view ONLY ai content, if you so wish.
They can always quit their job and get a different one...
Because they are an employee not a boss? Companies dictate your email signature all the time.
Doubling down isnt the move, youre basically admitting you agree with the idea that companies should make massive changes well after people have become financially reliant on them as their career path at the drop of a hat. How about you get a job before you act as though dropping your career path years into it is easy? "Just get another job" just admit youre a company simp who values pushing ai on to people who dont want it over actual personal consent or well-being. Scum.
I never consented to it. YouTube never sent me an updated consent form? You cant update terms without telling people its illegal.
Holy strawman, Batman.
I can't even find something humorously ironic?
"Strawman" brother, youre literally doing the thing I'm describing. Do you even know what a strawman is?
It is where you build an argument that is easy to defeat and attribute it to your opponent.
I said I laughed at the screen shot, you twisted that into "You don't value consent" as an attack on me out of nowhere.
Classic strawman.
you talk like a redditor, please calm down
They posted it to youtube, agreed to the TOS, their consent has been given.
On one hand, this is clearly something the youtuber didn’t want. But the irony is chef's kiss.
I've said it many times:
AI as a toy is fun
AI as a tool is cool
AI as a crutch is terrifying.
That little (i) info icon is likely saying something along the lines of "AI interpretations aren't perfect". Which is pretty fair.
My personal gripe with AI is companies jumping on the bandwagon as if it's perfect when it's not. Gemini at least provides links to its information so I can double check what its claiming.

ChatGPT will do links and you can edit it's behavior to insist on them.

This is fantastic. I should add this to my ChatGPT instructions!
Is working great, btw. Citation links in responses are awesome!
This will save me from searching for things to fact check what I'm presented with, in some situations. :)
Happy to help. I like that there are so many options to customize the responses in ChatGPT.
* sigh*
I kinda miss when ChatGPT would confidently invent web addresses that sounded just plausible enough if you didn’t really check it.
I’ll forever miss things like:
“Sure! Here’s the source to the directions regarding setting up and configuring PiHole:
www.newyorktimes.com/articles/2923/11/02/how-to-bake-nanas-homemade-apple-pie-while-performing-pediatric-CPR-at-gunpoint.html”
🤣 is that an actual link you got???
Haha not exactly, but basically.
It used to grab whatever I talked about earlier and try to weave it back in later. If I had it quizzing me for my PALS recert and then later, in the same chat, switched over to home networking, it’d start trying to mash the two together and pretending that it made sense.
Copilot was AWFUL about that sort of thing for a while, but I've never had ChatGPT do that. 😅
Yes they do, use the web search function.
ChatGPT has been giving me links practically always wtf you on about. You do not use them yet make unsubstantited claims and get karma.
Imagine reading
https://preview.redd.it/e8idc8l5oa6g1.png?width=740&format=png&auto=webp&s=e1ec3cbdf305446e827656e03771786933af24d6

It’s the same issue as the internet. It’s the same issue as all new technology. You don’t trust everything you read on the internet. You don’t push use nee technology in areas it’s not ready for yet.
This one hundred percent.
But also, ChatGPT has been providing me with some links, particularly if I ask for them.
Grok.... I have concerns about.
Yeah, I've heard some ethical issues with grok specifically. I've only ever played with it to animate stuff, I've found it does the best anime style, but otherwise I generally avoid LLMs
Can we not turn those off? 😩
No of course not, how would Google show shareholders month-on-month Increased User AI Engagement if you could just turn the AI features off???
😩
Google is assy once again!
It's be a 5-10 minute job to write a browser extension to remove it, if anyone cared enough for that.
I imagine someone will make it. I'm not skilled enough to! 🤷😅
You could probably ask an AI to simply create a userscript to hide the box, tho lol.
(It's probably only 7 lines of code to do this, but YouTube never shows me the AI summary box to begin with for some reason, so I can't check myself. I did create myself a userscript to get rid of elements before, it's really not that hard.)
Another member of the subreddit addressed this, downthread!
Sometimes I actually appreciate these summaries when I’m feeling iffy on whether I want to watch a video or not.
"It is supposed to not be easy to creat.......... that is what is special about..."
So it is inefficiency that makes her feel special, and that is the selling point?
Less about inefficiency and more about effort
If she feeling like putting effort into something for reasons known to her, that is fine, no judgement. She is expecting others to play by her rules when they don't have to. She doesn't even pause to ponder what she makes as her whole identity (writing, drawing, etc...) may just be a small component to someone's larger process. That to me sounds rather irritating.
That’s bullshit. You can put a lot of effort into AI or a little, just like painting or drawing.
Interesting to me that you equate "ease" with efficiency. Its far more likely about "effort" than "efficiency". You basically cant make anything of real quality without effort, and I think its fair to argue that utilizing AI reduces the amount of effort someone is putting into a work.

Not an airport, unsure why all of these people are announcing their departure.

and my post is still true.
As she is not quitting her job, nor does the video feel performative (to me at least), I am of the opinion that your original comment can be true in its own right but is unrelated to the video. Thus my response : )
Seems that they're not done. They have at least around half an hour until that.
I actually quite like swells stuff a lot of the time but her anti-ai content just has the worst knee-jerk responses to the topic which is disappointing. Even if she is critical she should approach it as she does with other topics rather than immediately going on a rant
I more just thought the ai summary was a bit ironic. I think it's fine for people to have strong opinions on ai even if I disagree with them, but I agree with you on this
Chronic complainers are never done.. Especially when complaining does so well, with the algorithms.
Here is a positive video, to cleanse one's palate, so to speak:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ye8ueY_rExU
I used to do in home health care and I’m pretty sure one of the worst homes I went into was someone who had Huntington’s disease.

I love this.
I never have an ai video summary on any video i watch, ever. does it has something to do with me using adblock? would be nice to have the summary though.
i think it has something to do with whatever device you’re using
AIbros will then complain about the internet being gilled with bots and all their interactions online being fake. lol

everyone I know that uses AI uses it to cheat in exams and nothing else.
"ChatGPT, I don't agree with this poster, cook him."
I believe it!
