YouTube is now AI-generating comment prompts

"Dead Internet Theory is just a theory!"

Google:

hold my beer

I ended up watching this very same clickbait last night.

"I didn't write this comment." Starts off making it seem hella sinister, like YouTube is doing this without the user's consent. Only to go on and say the channel owner used a new feature that allows them to have an AI post comments on their behalf. Something you need to tell it to do.

Just a slight pedantic nitpick. Given the enormous cost of training, it is unlikely Google trains or finetunes models for individual channels.

The model was likely trained on millions of creator comments, possibly including Russell, but not necessarily.

Gemini has a large context limit, the bot loads the context with that channels comments along with the comment it is replying to. _

Judging by Shorts, somebody's been posting them for a long time. Such inanity.
