"YouTube made AI enhancements to videos without telling users or asking permission. As AI quietly mediates our world, what happens to our shared connection with real life?"
That "without telling users or asking permission" bit is the real issue in this particular case, all the other potential bullshit associated with AI aside. In any case, it's just yet another reason in a perpetually growing list of reasons why I will never (again) upload anything Youtube.
(The three or four videos I did upload in the distant past have long since been obliterated when I nuked my first Youtube account, several years ago. The bare bones one I have now is one I don't even log into anymore.)
