Tell HN: YouTube's New AI Search Is Incredibly Good

3 points by keepamovin 21 hours ago

I just saw a new section pop up on my home page, something like "Ask for videos in any way you like" with a few natural language query examples. I tried my own, and in a few seconds 3 highly specific, great videos directly addressing what I asked appeared, with more below.

I believe there's no way I could have found this content through traditional YouTube search, and would have had to have passively waited for it to be recommended, or followed the social/link web to get to it, across long journeys of search country, etc.

This is game changing. Thank you YouTube for putting this in. Really well done!

I just want them to update the automatic subtitles... They are still so bad.

    i agree. almost every transcription (Google, Apple, etc) is bad except for the Whispr models of OpenAI. They continue to be the best years later.

would you say you are content with the content you found through this process or does it leave you wanting more content so that you may be content later?

    heh, there's always more content
