Wait, YouTube videos now force AI summaries under videos?

Is there a way to opt out?

I do not consent to using any platform which will be feeding my content into generative AI, or to under any circumstances my posts being paired with generative AI content. Am I now at the point I need to withdraw my videos from YouTube?

The ai-crammed-everywhere thing that annoys me the most is on YouTube where under each video is a completely uninformative summary that's cut short with ellipses: "This video presents several methods..." "This video discusses ways in which..." And I just... Why??

@mcc @takeoutweightNathan Sorenson I truly can’t fathom how they think their creators will stand for this. It shows in the _list view_, before I even click on a video.

A creator took the time to make a nice video about a topic and YouTube is gonna strive to keep me from needing to click it whatsoever? They’re just doing the Google playbook, but for video results? I hope there is a revolt
