From the article…
But while many think that YouTube’s system isn’t great, Trendacosta also said that she “can’t think of a way to build the match technology” to improve it, because “machines cannot tell context.” Perhaps if YouTube’s matching technology triggered a human review each time, “that might be tenable,” but “they would have to hire so many more people to do it.”
That’s what it comes down to, right there.
Google needs to spend money on people, and not just rely on the AI automation, because it’s obviously getting things wrong, its not judging context correctly.
There’s kind of a scary face in the middle of the washing machine in the thumbnail.
God I fucking hate YouTube.
Okay.
Don’t use it then.
You’re not using it, right?
I’m allowed to use it and be critical of it at the same time. But I use it way less these days because adblocker or not, it’s become a user-hostile and censored place and every video is following the same formula in order to get seen the most and the whole thing feels gross.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Albino, who is also a popular Twitch streamer, complained that his YouTube video playing through Fallout was demonetized because a Samsung washing machine randomly chimed to signal a laundry cycle had finished while he was streaming.
To Albino it was obvious that Audego didn’t have any rights to the jingle, which Dexerto reported actually comes from the song “Die Forelle” (“The Trout”) from Austrian composer Franz Schubert.
Albino suggested that YouTube had potentially allowed Audego to make invalid copyright claims for years without detecting the seemingly obvious abuse.
"Ah okay, yes, I’m sure they did this in good faith and will make the correct call, though it would be a shame if they simply clicked ‘reject dispute,’ took all the ad revenue money and forced me to risk having my channel terminated to appeal it!!
YouTube also acknowledged in 2021 that “just one invalid reference file in Content ID can impact thousands of videos and users, stripping them of monetization or blocking them altogether.”
“That rings hollow,” EFF reported in 2021, noting that “huge conglomerates have consistently pushed for more and more restrictions on the use of copyrighted material, at the expense of fair use and, as a result, free expression.”
The original article contains 981 words, the summary contains 200 words. Saved 80%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Machines can’t tell context
They could back when everyone was using pre-AI context engines that were actually capable of it. Autocorrect is in the same boat. It used to change things correctly to match the context, and now a days it will change words to other words that entirely don’t work within the rest of the context.
Though I am doubtful whatever detects music and sounds in the video literally ever had any kind of context seeking in the first place.
After the first wash cycle I turned the tune off. I mean, the guys putting the damn thing in place, your machine’s legend, as well as the manual all tell you how.
