alt Hacker NewsI’ve found that the AI label doesn’t necessarily mean AI slop, it just means there’s a non zero amount of AI in the video. I want to avoid AI slop but not all videos that have an AI title screen or whatever.

Yep, it's super useless. The label is so general. Was AI used for one image in the 10 minute video? Is the voiceover AI? Is the entirety of it generated with AI? No way to know.
Yeah, I make song remixes in the style of a particular video game and while the music is completely human written (by me), I'll often have AI generated or edit the "cover art" for me so people have something to look at/chuckle at.
These videos are still marked as AI, and fairly so; however I don't think that means people should want them hidden :-(
Now that the AI label exists, the creators using AI for an intro graphic or background music are probably going to stop using it.
Google’s been pushing creators to use AI thumbnails more heavily since right around the EU deadline for labeling, presumably in the hopes of saturating the label so that everyone burns out and eats their slop quietly.
People think all AI is bad. AI in the hands of expert can create wonders. Take a look below.
