YouTube's AI upscaling tries to turn videos into goonerbait. [Reddit Repost]
Source: Asmongold Subreddit
As seen in the video, the user hovers their cursor over the thumbnail, showing (presumably) the original thumbnail for a second, where the woman has less cleavage visible.
"I thought maybe it was edited like this intentionally for some reason but her clothes change completely when you hover the preview and this entire thumb seems to be AI generated to begin with. The perspective is all kinds of fucked up if you look at the left wall corner compared to the door. If YouTube did this by itself, this is some of the most dystopian shit I've ever seen, lmao."
This really concerned me (though not as much as grok's latest feature) so i figured i should post it here to see if anyone has other examples of it happening, and raise awareness. Stay meaty.

Fuck asmongold and his roach filth lifestyle. Dude spews hate and discourse.
I don't care if he says a positive thing - he still has a history of saying a lot of terrible dogshit takes. Broken clock mother fucker.
Because of course it would...
AI has a massive misogyny problem. Time and time again. However, this is indeed a huge issue. One that was obviously going to happen, but this is the timeline we're in now. Yay. I hate everything.
Also, and I can't stress this enough: Fuck Asmongold.
Society has a massive misogyny problem, so AI reflects it unless the training data is manually curated to correct the bias. And of course since nobody gives a shit about ethics in computer science aside from one semester of lip service about Therac-25, they don't correct it.
Yeah computers are just like every child you will meet. Flawed by by a world and people that are not sane.
We can't expect perfection or true reality from anything we create as they will have our flaws. We can make active constant effort to work at them but we dont do effort anymore. To much effort to maintain things so let's pretend things can last forever or be replaced always.
So yeah. Expect it to be bad with race, women, ideology, passion, and even reality itself. Its us but faster.
Asmongold is an awful, toxic, hateful person.
Why have you cursed my eyes with Assmold?
I doubt this is AI.
You're seeing the cached thumbnail, that was edited to make it less revealing because the uploader was afraid of having the video appear less often in the suggestions feed.
Yeah, this is probably something one of her mods did.
Yeah, the more heavily-clothed version is clearly the edited part. Her waist shrinks right down (along with the chair behind her) and the top has extremely uniform colour across it that doesn’t reflect the lighting environment accurately.
Somehow the covered bit looks more fake than the low cut. Be funny if they did it on purpose to drive views. I hadn't heard of this channel until just now.
I'm tempted to downvote this post because of the YouTube personality.
You can downvote for whatever reason you want
Get this asmongold rat out of lemmy.
OP shares important information and and all anyone can do in the comments is complain about the source...
Not every source are vile pieces of shit who, among other things, make a living off of harassing trans people and calling for their death openly.
Does that change the facts of the matter?
It changes the fact that I had to see Asmongold against my will, and seeing his face is worse than a 40 second advertisement.
I'm sorry, that must have been really traumatic for you.
Yeah for the people that Asmongold attacks, it is potentially traumatic, Asmongold is a dangerously hateful person, that is his whole identity as a rightwing edgelord.
If the sight of someone you don't like traumatizes you, you should probably stay off the internet.
I'm happy for you that your life and conditions makes it so you don't have to deal with these kinds of things. As a transfeminine person however, yeah, I am not happy seeing the face of someone who constantly spews hatred towards me for simply existing. It does affect me. It's a constant reminder that this hatred against me, that discrimination and transphobia is everywhere and absolutely inescapable, which is something I'm already plainly aware of and don't need reminders of.
Obviously, seeing Asmongold doesn't bothers you, and good for you I guess. However, seeing that someone is posting here, using this awful person's subreddit as a source for things, meaning they apparently browse the thing, yeah, it makes me pause. It makes me see how fucking banal and normalized this guy, who represents and Incarnate an ideology that is an existential threat to my safety and rights, has become. And it makes me feel uneasy and less safe in these internet spaces.
Asmongold looks perfectly fine, it isn't the sight of them that traumatizes people it is the actions, words and ideology he traffics in with such a large public megaphone that makes him traumatizing to people.
The source in this case is actual dog shit.
Yeah sorry promoting fucking Nazis even to shit on AI is bad. Fuck you if you disagree.
LOL ok
The disgust people feel for asmongold is more visceral than their nebulous hatred of AI
AI has some redeeming qualities. Asmongold has none.
I personally down voted this post based entirely on the terms used. If the title had been about using sexualization to sell/entice viewership then that would have been fine. But what the title actually amounts to is synonymous with porn baiting which is not the same thing. I'm really tired of the term "goonerbait". It's such a sensationalized word.
The fact that the video is from Asmongold like other creators aren't talking about and reporting on this is just an extra ding against it.
The fact is, I can understand why people who are likely boycotting this creator are upset at being conned into clicking on his content.
Boycotting does not mean crying every time they're mentioned, especially when they're mentioned in the vein of some new horrific news.
There's no content of his to click on here. It looks like the content is hosted on catbox (and Reddit).
Because if you gave me a scientific report about the benefits of the sun, but it was written by a Nazi scientist... Of course we're going to dogpile it.
Find the same damn report, validated with more reputable sources.
This isn't a scientific report, it's a 2 second screen capture...
We get it. You're as asmongold fan. That tells us everything we need to know about you.
We get it. You hate Asmongold. Your response to facts presented to you by people you don't like tells us everything we need to know about you.
Everyone has already blocked you or downvoted your comments. Take the hint.
You clearly have not. Maybe give it a try!
Oh. Well. That explains it.
Exactly.
Yeah, you're an Asmongold fan. That explains everything.
If this wasn't literally /c/fuckai I would think they were trying to distract from what YouTube is doing...
Lol i felt this was going to happen and almost added a line saying "I understand the controversy, It just came up because it's AI stuff"
Find a better source that isn't a toxic piece of shit.
😐 Well, it's posted now so whatever.
