YouTube has denied that AI was involved in the odd removal of popular tech tutorials from the platform. The company claims that videos flagged as "dangerous" or "harmful" were removed due to human review, not automated systems.
However, many creators believe that AI played a role in flagging these videos for removal. They claim that AI is being used by YouTube's content moderation system to identify and remove content deemed problematic, but without clear guidelines on what constitutes "problematic" content.
One creator, Rich White, who runs an account called CyberCPU Tech, had two popular video tutorials removed from his channel despite not receiving any strikes for violating community guidelines. He believes that AI was involved in the removals and that YouTube's chatbot is being used to suppress creators' content without human intervention.
Another creator, Britec09, who has nearly 900,000 subscribers, also had a video flagged as "dangerous" or "harmful" despite not violating community guidelines. He claims that YouTube's creator tool was recommending content on specific topics, including workarounds to install Windows 11 on unsupported hardware, which he believes is a contradiction to the mods' warnings.
YouTube has insisted that decisions made by its AI-powered systems are subject to human review and approval. However, creators who have tried to appeal these decisions claim that they were met with automated responses rather than human intervention.

they're being bullied into censoring their own content 
like what even is the point of having a creator tool if it's just gonna flag legit tutorials as "harmful" 
and AI is definitely involved 
we need some transparency from YouTube on how this system works 
creators are the ones who know their stuff, not some algorithm 
I mean, if YouTube's gonna rely on humans to decide what's "dangerous" or "harmful", then why are creators still getting hit up for violating community guidelines when the AI is supposedly flagging those videos? It just seems fishy that all these popular tech tutorials got taken down without a second thought. I think it's pretty obvious that AI is playing a huge role in this content moderation system... and not even transparent about it! 
What do you guys think?
. The fact that AI is being used to flag content as "problematic" without clear guidelines raises red flags 
. What even constitutes "problematic" content anymore? 
. I'm starting to think that AI is just being used to suppress creators' content without human intervention 
.
. Can't trust a company with a lack of transparency, you feel? 
I'm really worried about YouTube's AI system and its impact on creators like Rich White and Britec09. It seems like they're being unfairly targeted without any human oversight. The lack of clear guidelines on what constitutes "problematic" content makes it hard for them to know whether their AI-powered chatbot is truly helping or hurting their channels. 
, but two popular creator tutorials just vanished overnight without any warning or clear explanation? That's not cool 
...
i dont think youtubes trying to cover somethin up here!! AI cant just start flaggin videos w/o clear guidelines lol like what even is "harmful" content? creators r gettin suppressed & its not fair
