So what's happening here is that Google clearly wants to take as much human creativity out of YouTube as possible. And why not? A billion AI crap videos can run ads just as effectively as a far smaller number of truly creative videos worked on by caring humans.

Google seems hell bent on wrecking everything they have that is nice. And much of what the rest of us have that is nice. -L
