FULL STORY
======================================================================

YouTube has announced a whole bunch of AI-powered tools ( on top of its 
existing bits and pieces ) that are designed to make life easier for content 
creators on the platform. 

As The Verge spotted, at the Made on YouTube event which just took place, one 
of the big AI revelations made was something called Dream Screen, an image 
and video generation facility for YouTube Shorts. get ready to make your

This lets a video creator just type in something that theyd like for a 
background. Such as, for example, a panda drinking a cup of coffee  given 
that request, the AI will take the reins and produce such a video background 
for the clip (or image). 

This is how the process will be implemented to begin with  you prompt the AI, 
and it makes something for you  but eventually, creators will be able to 
remix content to produce something new, were told. 

YouTube Studio is also getting an infusion of AI tools that will suggest 
content that could be made by individual creators, generating topic ideas for 
videos that might suit them, based on whats trending with viewers interested 
in the kind of content that creator normally deals in. 

A system of AI-powered music recommendations will also come into play to 
furnish audio for any given video. Analysis: Grab the shovel? 

Is it us, or does this sound rather scary? Okay, so content creators may find 
it useful and convenient to be able to drop in AI generated video or image 
backgrounds really quickly, and have some music layered on top, and so on. 

But isnt this going to just ensure a whole heap of bland  and perhaps 
homogenous  content flooding onto YouTube? That seems the obvious danger, and 
maybe one compounded by the broader idea of suggested content that people 
want to see (according to the great YouTube algorithm) being provided to 
creators on YouTube. 

Is YouTube set to become a video platform groaning under the collective 
weight of content that gets quickly put together, thanks to AI tools, and 
shoveled out by the half-ton? 

While YouTube seems highly excited about all these new AI utilities and 
tools, we cant help but think its the beginning of the end for the video site 
 at least when it comes to meaningful, not generic, content. 

We hope were wrong, but this whole brave new direction fills us with 
trepidation more than anything else. A tidal wave of AI-generated this, that, 
and the other, eclipsing everything else is clearly a prospect that should be 
heavily guarded against. You might also like How to stream on YouTube: from
