Transcripts

YouTube has just implemented new AI

rules that has left a lot of creators

extremely bothered well if you using the

text spe software in 2024 you have to be

aware of this in short let me just break

the eyes for you guys can you see this

screenshot here can you see this

screenshot here can you also see the

screenshot here these are all

screenshots of my YouTube channels that

have been deleted you can see the dates

this one was actually around March 13 I

think this one around the same time as

well so what is going on why is YouTube

actually taking down AI generated

content in 2024 by the end of this video

you're going to find out on why YouTube

is actually taking down these channels

and how you can avoid these scenarios in

the first place so I'm going to break it

down into different categories based on

what I experiened YouTube recently has

implemented a future where you can

actually select if your content was

generated by AI or your content was not

generated by a they basically summarize

it into three points and I don't think

these three points will probably good

enough for most creators but I'm just

trying to give you what I think now just

to break it down for you for those using

text to speech voices I know you're

probably using text to speech voes and

you're using it without altering or

saying things that are not wrong but in

my case I was using it for that same

purpose right and I was shocked to

receive this me where YouTube told me my

channel has been taken down for

misinformation deceptive content scams

and spams now that is just one of the

cases in which I'm going to discuss in

this video deceptive cult basically

means you're actually saying some things

that are not precisely true or make the

audience to think that is true which is

not true now this channel you're

actually seeing that was deleted on

March I think the 13th of March yes it

was deleted because it was a polical

YouTube channel over the last couple of

weeks I've been doing a lot of research

on deceptive content spams and scams but

basically it stems also to the fact that

I was probably click bating some of my

titles and thumbnails but to be honest I

highly believe that it's because I was

using an AI Tex to speak s for a d m

YouTube to actually take down my YouTube

channel because if I was looking at my

competitors they actually doing the same

thing they actually doing somehow click

baed titles in short most YouTubers

actually do that to actually make people

to watch their videos right I think that

was not the problem but the fact that I

assly wasn't even show my face on this

video I wasn't using my voice that is

why my YouTube channel was actually

taken down so what I'm basically saying

is this try to straightforward with what

you're saying that reflects what is on

the title and what is actually your

condent to avoid the policy of deceptive

content spans and all that stuff now

this other policy is something that I

thought could never happen on YouTube

I'm going to take an example to explain

it to you better this is what they call

impersonification now I have a student

of mine who actually started a real

Madrid news channel and it's basically a

sports channel that talks about newes

transfers prematch games postm g games

analytics you get what I'm trying to

mean so this person named this channel

Real Madrid fanone I don't know if

there's already a channel that exists as

a real Madrid fan Zone basically on

Instagram or even on YouTube but YouTube

took down this channel because of

impersonification and over the time I

was actually researching on it I

discovered that this is probably the

reason because he used a name that

already officially exists and belongs to

the Real Madrid group like Real Madrid

probably owns the name Real Madrid fan

group or fan page so you should avoid

this you should avoid this now let me

talk about another case where I was

gotten into a personification you've

probably seen videos of celebrities

media personalities where they are

talking but seemingly they are not the

one we know a has only gotten better

over these days and we cannot actually

determine who is who but YouTube has

this program that can actually determine

if if this content was generated by by

AI or not yes if you're using a let's

say an avatar that reflects a celebrity

or you have altered something now this

is where you have to take yes you have

to choose yes on alter content while

uploading your video onto YouTube to

actually make people understand that oh

this content has been altered and of

course you have to choose yes let's talk

about other cases where you have to

choose yes when it comes to altered

content now most thumbnails on YouTube

right now for AI historical content you

have seen that most of these people use

AI to generate their images to generate

their voice overs you have to take yes

because if you don't take yes trust me

over the next couple of weeks YouTube is

going to take down your YouTube channel

this is not to say to put SC to you now

I think at this point in time I spoken

about the couple of things that actually

made my YouTube channel to be deleted

and to be demonetized and even taken

down let me give you the couple of

reasons before I move on to the next

thing I have to say first thing is if

you're using a tech of spech software

there's High chances that you have to

choose years because you might alter

what somebody is saying but if you're

doing things like Tech I don't think you

have problems if you're doing things

like like animals relationship I don't

think you have problems with that but if

you're doing things related to politics

which is very sensitive if you're doing

things related to health which is very

very sensitive if you're doing things

that are very sensitive basically try to

take yes if you're using a Fel speech

software in your videos now let's go to

the second one if you are using a text

of speech software to talk about and

naming your channel using an official

name please make sure that you are

naming it with a channel name that is

not related to an official channel name

I don't know if you get the sense and

the last basically if you're using a

text of speech Avatar and you're using

let's say you have cloned a celebrity or

you have cloned someone that is not

basically you or your voice try to

indicate that that you have done that

also to those who are actually using a I

generated images AI generated scenes

like text to video prompts like text

image prompts that indicated of you're

using alter content because YouTube is

going to come for you with all that said

I was also wondering does YouTube

actually decrease the number of

Impressions or does YouTube suppress

these videos that actually generated by

AI I had to go to the customer support

to chat with them to ask them why are

they actually saying this and why they

not saying this just for full emphasis

here when I went to customer support and

ask them if I'm using a text spech

software I have to indicate to them that

yes I'm using um my content is being

altered they told me yes and this is it

on the chat they actually told me but I

said in some cases where your content is

not so sensitive please you can leave

that if you want but then again YouTube

does not suppress your content if you're

using a Tex of spe software let me get

this clear to you guys YouTube does not

suppress your content if you have also

chose that yes this content is being

altered now what they normally do is

they are going to indicate at the top

left hand corner that this content has

been altered or basically in the

description section most of times when

the content is very sensitive they're

going to put it at the top left hand

corner but when it's not too sensitive

in the description section you're going

to see that this content has been

altered yes you should not fall into

this problem because this has costed me

three YouTube channels that had spent

over

$1,300 in building in just a single

month and I don't think anyone should

actually find it if you find Value from

this content because I'll be doing it

over and over I'm sure that maybe I

didn't really place these videos in a

very let's say well structured way I

just wanted to spill this one out

because recently I've been getting a lot

of people tell me the YouTube channels

are deleted their YouTube channels were

deleted they having this problems here

and there because of AI now if your

YouTube channel has been deleted and you

feel the need you want to reach out to

me to recover your YouTube channel

because in my next video show you how to

appeal for your YouTube channel has been

deleted or even demonetized now if you

want to watch the video on what you

should avoid in 2024 to for your YouTube

channel not to be deleted you can

actually click here and I'll see you in

the next one
