Raw LLM Responses

I hate statememts like "AI algorithms decide what you see" that are essentially anti-AI statements and make the technology sound inherently negative. The wording is not only negative but it's just wrong. AI algorithms don't "decide" what you see, in its purest form it simply gives you a selection of curated content based on your own consumption of content. Any AI algorithms excluding certain content and only showing you approved content is literally people, not the AI, deciding what you see. On platforms like YouTube, you're not limited to your homepage and the recommended content. You have the choice to search for other content and therefore you're the only one deciding what you see. AI simply recommends (or more accurately curates) content and you could make the argument it influences what you see but even that'd be misleading since you're technically the one influencing it. There's flaws and there's always room for improvement but YouTube's AI is a great example of the exact opposite of someone or something else deciding what you see. The AI doesn't decide anything besides which type of videos or content creators you're going to recommended based on your viewing habits and it's really, really good at it. We all take for granted or are simply ignorant of how much better YouTube is because of AI algorithms, especially people who are skeptical, wary or straight up critical of AI who will literally take something as good as the YouTube algorithm and somehow twist it into something negative. I challenge anyone who disagrees with me to log out of their accounts and argue YouTube is better without AI algorithms. And anyone who believes AI decides what you see to create a new account then continue using YouTube as you normally would then in a couple weeks compare your new accounts homepage to the accounts you're using now. You're the ones deciding what you see, the AI is simply assisting you and helping you waste less time searching or scrolling aimlessly, making the experience much better. Without it YouTube would be like Netflix and you'd spend more time looking for content than actually consuming content and more often than not many of us would just give up and close the app before finding anything... unless you're into Mr Beast or whatever they recommend, I wouldn't know because my homepage is an almost perfectly curated selection of content I'm interested in and can only vaguably remember the type of slop you get recommended when you open a fresh YouTube tab in incognito mode (which again I recommend anyone with a negative view of AI algorithms do to remind yourself have good you have it 😂). Anyway to summarize; the only ones who decide what you're seeing is you and the humans who either censor content or tweak the algorithm to include, exclude, boost and suppress content. The AI algorithm isn't making any decisions for you and in fact is helping you decide based on what you tell it you want to see....
