AI why? Where’s the proof that AI was involved in this?

"A popular tech YouTuber with over 350,000 subscribers has lost his channel after YouTube’s automated systems flagged him for an alleged connection to a completely unrelated Japanese channel that received copyright strikes."

That's not necessarily AI.

That could be as simple as a database lookup against flagged accounts or a simple heuristic score.

We're over-AI-ing everything.

This reminds me how all of my friends in the last years have replaced special effects/CGI term in movies/ads/shows with AI.

I'm always confused because they've seen special effects for decades, and now the very same explosions, filters, etc, cgi is suddenly AI.
