YouTube is trying out some cool new AI stuff that might make watching videos even better. They're working on some interesting things and I'm going to tell you everything we found out about it so far. Then you can think about whether it sounds good or not. Alright, first, let's break down how YouTube is using artificial intelligence to clean up the chaos in the comments section under Longer Videos. Ever find yourself sifting through a ton of comments, people's thoughts, jokes, pointless stuff, and annoying trolls just to see what viewers really think about the video? YouTube is on it. They're using smart AI to group comments into categories, slapping a label on them so you can easily jump to what interests you. Say you're watching a video on the latest iPhone. You might see groups like Camera Quality, Battery life, price, and you can check out all the comments on these topics sorted by what's new or most liked. This isn't just cool for us watching, it's a goldmine for the video creators. They can quickly get the gist of what viewers love, what's not hitting the mark, what they're eager to see more of. Super helpful insights to make videos even better, connect with viewers, or spark ideas for future content. Plus, creators can toss out any topic they don't want in the comments by deleting the comments that started that topic. Keeping things on point this tool is still being tested and it's only up for grabs for some folks with YouTube Premium who choose to try it out. And it's only for some English videos that have lots of comments to begin with. But honestly, it sounds like a solid move and I'm excited to see it roll out to more videos and languages. How about you? Are you into the idea of AI tidying up the comments? Drop your thoughts below now. Also, YouTube is experimenting with a new chatbot that's similar to ChatGPT. This bot can answer your questions about the video you're watching, and can even suggest other videos that you might find interesting. It's designed using advanced language models that take information from YouTube and the Internet to come up with responses that sound natural. To use it, you just click on the Ask button on the page where you're watching the video, then either type in or say your question, the chatbot will respond, and you can keep the conversation going without needing to stop your video or switch to another screen. The chatbot is pretty capable. It can summarize the video, answer questions based on facts, recommend additional videos, and if the video's educational, it can even quiz you. Right now, this feature is only up for grabs for some folks with YouTube Premium in the US on Android devices and it's not available for all videos, but it seems like a really useful tool that could make watching videos more interactive and informative. It's a cool way to learn more and get into a conversation with an AI while you're on YouTube. And to be honest, YouTube is becoming more than just a place to watch videos. They want it to be somewhere you can chat, learn and have fun with AI, making it all more exciting and suited to what you like. However, AI isn't always right. It can mess up and show you the wrong things like videos that aren't suitable or comments that are off topic. You need to be smart about using AI on YouTube, making sure to double check information. AI might also make you spend too much time on YouTube and raise privacy concerns because YouTube uses your data to improve AI. Soon we might watch YouTube videos where AI gives instant tips to make the video look better. It could help fix the lighting, make the sound clearer, and recommend where to make cuts and changes for a more polished finish. AI could also check videos for any rule breaking stuff before they go live while which would mean less bad content and help video makers follow the rules. All this could make making videos easier, letting the creators concentrate on being creative while the AI takes care of the technical bits and making sure everything is okay to post. Anyways, I'm really looking forward to seeing how these AI tools on YouTube turn out. They seem like a great step forward, but I'm curious about what you think. Are you looking forward to these changes or are you worried they might cause issues? Drop a comment to let me know if you enjoyed this.
