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.

Wouldn’t a heuristic score be AI? It could very probably *not* be an LLM or Stable Diffusion or similar which has coopted the overall term “AI”; but that doesn’t make it not an expert system, or an SLM used for categorization, or even A* search, all of which fell under the umbrella of “AI” for a long time.

A heuristic can be a single if statement.

Heuristics are just rules of thumb without necessarily having a rigid law or clean classification.

You can derive heuristics from mathematically modeling something or even applying machine learning, but they need not necessarily involve either set of techniques.
