It would be a lot easier and a lot cheaper, and provide the same results as an AI AI detector, if Google just flipped a digital coin every time a video was uploaded, and marked it as slop if it came up heads.

I have a revolutionary idea. Maybe they should crowdsource the reviews. Some sort of system where people can. I don’t know show how much they like or dislike a video and the overwhelmingly disliked videos don’t get promoted.
