YouTube secretly uses AI to edit Shorts videos, causing concern

YouTube admits it uses machine learning to edit Shorts without warning, leaving many creators worried that AI is eroding audience trust.

What's controversial is that the platform does this without informing or asking permission from content creators.

Rick Beato, a YouTuber with more than 5 million followers, discovered that his face and skin had been edited abnormally.

Guitarist Rhett Shull also complained about the overly-sharpened face, which looked fake, and immediately warned on his own channel.

On Reddit, users reported seeing unusually smooth skin and distorted details since June of this year.

In response, YouTube asserted that it only uses “traditional machine learning,” not generative AI or upscaling technology.

However, experts say this explanation only downplays the nature of AI interference in content.

Professor Samuel Wooley warned that public trust could be seriously damaged if platforms continue to edit in silence.
