Short-form video is already numbing enough, but this AI content is generally completely devoid of any meaning or substance. Kapwing investigated AI slop across YouTube's vast content library, noting the top 100 most-subscribed YouTube channels that publish this sort of AI content. That includes the most popular AI channel on YouTube, at least according to Kapwing. Why is YouTube removing AI slop? More interestingly, the letter includes a section labeled "Managing AI slop," which is the first time I've seen a company like YouTube use that expression.
