a reliable giveaway for AI generated videos is just a quick glance at the account's post history—the videos will look frequent, repetitive, and lack a consistent subject/background—and that's not something that'll go away when AI videos get better

Why not? Surely you can ask your friendly neighbourhood AI to run a consistent channel for you?
AI is capable of consistent characters now, yes, but the platforms themselves provide little incentive to. TikTok/Instagram Reels are designed to serve recommendations, not a user-curated feed of people you follow, so consistency is not needed for virality
Or they are reposting other people's content
Sort by oldest. If the videos go back more than 3 years watch an old one. So many times the person narrating the old vids is nothing like the new vids and a dead ringer for AI. If the account is less than a year old, 100% AI.
New AI narration is a dead giveaway to us but many people can’t tell they’re not listening to a human. It is very concerning.
How can they look repetitive while being inconsistent? Do you mean in terms of presentation / "editing" style?
I actually avoid most YouTube channels that upload too frequently. Especially with consistent schedules.
Even if I'm 100% certain it's not AI slop, it's still a very strong indicator that the videos are some kind of slop.
Content farms, whether AI generated or not their incentive is to pump out low quality high output. Most of their content even it involves a human narrator are heavily packed with AI generated media.
A giveaway for detecting AI-generated text is the use of em-dashes, as noted in op - you are caught bang to rights!
Some keyboards and operating systems — iOS is one of them — convert two dashes into an emdash.
And macOS, at least my keyboard layout, has both en and em dashes easily typeable with Alt+- and Alt+Shift+- respectively.

I can’t wait for my keyboard to start auto-completing “Your” with “are absolutely right!”

Not long ago, a statistical study found that AI almost always has an 'e' in its output. It is a firm indicator of AI slop. If you catch a post with an 'e', pay it no mind: it's probably AI.
Uh-oh. Caught you. Bang to rights! That post is firmly AI. Bad. Nobody should mind your robot posts.
I'm incredibly impressed that you managed to make that whole message without a single usage of the most frequently used letter, except in your quotations.

I apprEciatE your dEdication to ExclusivEly using 'e' in quotEd rEfErEncE, but not in thE rEst of your clEarly human-authorEd tExt.
I rEgrEt that I havE not donE thE samE, but plEase accEpt bad formatting as a countErpoint.
Finally a human in this forum. Many moons did I long for this contact.
(Assuming you did actually hand craft that I thumbs-up both your humor and industry good sir)
