It&#8217;s essentially the idea that the internet is primarily populated with bots and AI-generated responses, intentionally designed with the overall goal of minimising human interaction and promoting products. The theory posits that humans on the internet are relatively rare, but bots responding in a manner just like them are everywhere. Including YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>An interesting concept, no doubt. However, there&#8217;s one fly in the ointment: Even huge titans like Google struggle to produce AI-generated responses that make any sense. <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.404media.co\/youtube-enhances-comment-section-with-ai-generated-nonsense\/\" target=\"_blank\">404 media<\/a> has been speaking to Clint Basinger, a YouTuber who&#8217;s been testing out <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/youtube\/thread\/297339956\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;editable AI-enhanced reply suggestions&#8221;<\/a> on the platform\u2014and according to Basinger, the results so far have been variable at best.<\/p>\n<p>The suggestions work in roughly the same way Gmail creates optional <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.google\/products\/gmail\/save-time-with-smart-reply-in-gmail\/\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;smart reply&#8221; suggestions<\/a> to your emails, except more in-depth. The AI responses appear to be based on actual comments from the creator in an attempt to mimic their tone, which on paper sounds like a perfectly reasonable idea. Context is everything, however, and without sufficient contextual data, the AI seems prone to making things up.<\/p>\n<p>In a video demonstrating a Duke Nukem branded energy drink powder (god help us all), Basinger struggled to find a scoop inside the packaging. A commenter suggested that the scoop might be buried in the powder, to which the AI suggested the response:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s not lost, they just haven\u2019t released the scoop yet. It\u2019s coming soon.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Later on in the video, Basinger shakes the container, and a commenter suggests that he should have had a tighter grip on the lid. According to the YouTuber, the AI suggested they respond with: &#8220;I\u2019ve got a whole video on lid safety coming soon, so you don\u2019t have to worry!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mind you, I suppose you could argue it&#8217;s providing ideas for new content, at the very least. Lid safety videos are the hot new thing, after all, and&#8230; I kid, I kid.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not just context the AI seems to struggle with. Occasionally, it&#8217;s repeating words. Basinger&#8217;s other channel is called <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@LGRBlerbs\" target=\"_blank\">LGR Blerbs<\/a>, and upon viewing a new video, another commenter said &#8220;Nice. Back to the blerbs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a whole new kind of blerp,&#8221; suggested the AI.<\/p>\n<p>Yep, a completely made-up word there. Anyway, Basinger seems to take all this in good humour, although they report one incident where things take a slightly darker turn. When another commenter expressed delight that Basinger was posting to their second channel, the AI suggested they respond:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yeah, I&#8217;m a little burnt out on the super-high-tech stuff so it was refreshing to work on something a little simpler.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While YouTube does provide <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/youtube\/answer\/13616108?hl=en-GB\" target=\"_blank\">advice for its creators<\/a> in regards to burnout, I doubt it&#8217;d want its AI to reference the fact that creators working on the platform can <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/technology\/2018\/sep\/08\/youtube-stars-burnout-fun-bleak-stressed\" target=\"_blank\">experience high degrees of stress and strain<\/a> keeping up with the churn.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fancy-box\">\n<div class=\"fancy_box-title\">Your next machine<\/div>\n<div class=\"fancy_box_body\">\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' >\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"xXhrEsP3nMY9e43WUFUxSC\" name=\"gaming-pc-group-shot.jpg\" caption=\"\" alt=\"Gaming PC group shot\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/its-a-whole-new-kind-of-blerp-youtubes-ai-enhanced-reply-suggestions-seem-to-be-working-as-well-as-you-might-expect.jpg\" mos=\"\" link=\"\" align=\"\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"\" height=\"\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"pinterest-pin-exclude\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Future)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"fancy-box__body-text\"><a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-gaming-pc\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best gaming PC<\/strong><\/a>: The top pre-built machines.<br \/><a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-gaming-laptop\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best gaming laptop<\/strong><\/a>: Great devices for mobile gaming.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>So, as for that dead internet theory?
