YouTube announced that it will begin automatically labeling videos that make “significant photorealistic” use of AI, moving the AI‑generated‑content tags to a more visible spot—directly beneath the player for long‑form videos and as an overlay on Shorts—while still requiring creators to manually disclose realistic AI use when they wish. The new internal detection system will apply the label if it detects substantial AI‑generated imagery, and the label will remain permanent for content created with YouTube’s own AI tools or that contains C2PA metadata, though creators can adjust their disclosure status in YouTube Studio if they believe a video was flagged incorrectly. YouTube says the labels are purely for viewer transparency and will not affect recommendations or monetization, and they complement the platform’s expanded likeness‑detection program that lets creators manage unauthorized synthetic uses of their appearance.

Watching a #reneritchie video where #gruber is claiming that a ton/most apple devs — “the good ones” — are using ChatGPT for development and think it’s a huge, amazing win.

This seems…off,..to me. I try to pay attention to a lot about a lot for #iOS #macOS #Xcode #dev related stuff and nearly everything I see ranges from “meh” to “uhh, no”.

Wondering if anyone has any other experience.
