My prediction is that YouTube will do the opposite. Completely embrace AI content (mostly short-form) and inject their own generated clips.
Having short form content that captures users without having to pay shares to content creators seems to a believable goal for the service
I had pretty much the exact same experience as the peer comment in this thread. They were videos I was interested in, or at least got clickbaited into, but the fact that they were AI generated destroyed their value. At scale I think the most likely outcome of this is not that people embrace AI for this sort of stuff, but rather that it also destroys the value of genuine content by making people doubtful of the authenticity of anything that seems improbable.
