I hate how we humans are under the watch of the AI overlords.
My next video talks about nazism and trumpism, so I need to show WW2 photos, and often they include the swastika.
So I checked if I can display this symbol without the video being illegal in Germany — and I can, for commentary purposes.
But then I read, YouTube has an AI system which blocks videos with swastikas in Germany. So my video may be blocked because the AI can find a swastika, but it cannot tell I am not promoting Nazism.
@randahl I fear for the future where more and more decisions are outsourced to computers and there may be way to get an actual human to intervene and do something that makes sense. Calling customer support and getting a response like "I'd love to help but it won't let me".
A probably-safe option could be doing what video games do: use the iron cross. I've seen some where they take the flag of the Kriegsmarine and put the iron cross in the centre instead of the swastika. You know immediate what the reference is.
@randahl This is not really related to AI. The issue is that it is an automated system with effectively no way to raise the issue to be handled by a human. It might use AI or it might not.
@randahl .. well, they do call it ARTIFICIAL intelligence. So, it's kinda retarded in ways. LOL
@randahl@mastodon.social
I understand you depend on youtube (for reach and financial reasons).
However, in this special case, you could use PeerTube to publish this video, wdyt?
@randahl ask the AI to replace all the swastikas with Antifa logos, and get banned in the USA instead.

AI will the millstone around the neck of those social media platforms that adopt it with the possibility to mislead people using it. It will be so tiresome to constantly try to determine what's real and what's not that people go back to 'real' life. Have a coffee or a beer and talk with someone you can see.
@randahl Seeing Hugh Grant, it reminds me of one of the best movies I've ever watched, and it fits your purpose: Heretic by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, with Hugh Grant
