YouTube debuts new AI features

YouTube unveiled a batch of new features at its annual Made on YouTube showcase, with new integrations of artificial intelligence drawing most of the headlines. Most notably, Google DeepMind's video-generating model, Veo, will soon be available for YouTube Shorts, allowing users to create six-second AI video clips and backgrounds. Though YouTube says AI-created videos will be watermarked, some creators expressed concerns about a possible deluge of AI content on the platform. Other features on the way include Hype, a charged-up version of the "like" button that will vault popular smaller creators onto a weekly leaderboard. This early success demonstrates Hype's potential to revolutionize how creators and viewers interact on the platform. What do you think?
