YouTube is taking a hard stance on AI-generated “slop” content. Channels using mass-produced AI videos may now lose monetization privileges under its updated partner program rules.
Chris and Shira unpack the policy, the creator backlash, and the deeper implications for the future of content creation. Is this a necessary guardrail for quality, or a threat to innovation?
They also discuss the rise of AI tools in animation, scripting, and voiceover, and where YouTube draws the line between creativity and spam.
In this clip:
* What YouTube’s new AI monetization rules mean for creators
* Why mass-produced “AI slop” is being removed from the partner program
* The difference between AI-assisted content and AI-generated spam
