Google begins testing AI-generated summaries on YouTube Video Summary
When you search for videos using keywords on YouTube, a large number of search results are mixed with various videos that are useful and keyword-based, and you will often not be able to figure out which video content. is what you really want to find. Sometimes it takes time to read more than half of the content before you realize that it is not what you want. The new feature that Google has started testing now will automatically generate a summary of the video you selected, so before you click to watch Let’s first have a general understanding of the content.
So how is it different from YouTube’s existing video description field? The description field is a space for creators to fill in freely. Generally speaking, they will write something about the video. Information, etc. are briefly introduced, but this part is often abused to mislead the audience. In the past, there were many news about hidden phishing websites, poisonous download points, etc. As Google writes on its support page, the summary generated by AI on the video will be consistent with the video. The description is different because the audience will not be at the mercy of the content that the creator enters arbitrarily, solving the problem of description abuse. However, YouTube creators can still continue to write the content they want in the description, because the AI-generated summary will not completely replace it. , and will never affect your viewing experience on your phone or computer.
AI-generated snippets will be displayed on YouTube's viewing and search results pages. Since it is still in a small-scale testing phase, Currently, a small number of limited users can see them in a limited number of videos. Another limitation is language, currently the feature is only available in English, Google may gradually expand availability once the feature becomes more mature.
For the selected people who are currently lucky enough to see the AI-generated summary, Google hopes that users can send feedback to them to understand what users think of this feature. Although this feature is still not available to these limited users. It's free, but there's no guarantee it'll stay that way after the test ends. The company will likely roll it out as part of a YouTube Premium subscription in hopes of getting more people willing to pay, and if that happens, Google The recent increase in YouTube Premium subscription prices is finally explained.
