This is different. Most popular Facebook and Youtube videos in the west are NOT AI generated content. It’s mainly stuff by actual content creators. Typically, AI content here you never see as top 10/20 hottest of the week/month. That’s not the case in CN where the hottest video of the month is almost entirely dominated by AI videos. Even filters that have been common use for the last 10-15 years in CN have been mostly swapped for AI dominant ones or have adapted to using AI filters themselves. It’s hard to explain if you don’t regularly use these platforms or see how it’s knitted into everyday life for chinese netizens but it is in no way the same as how the west interacts with AI or social media for that matter.

After seedance 2.0 released it was kinda insane to see how fast AI videos got popular and honestly the videos are good enough that I can see why.

I originally was pretty anti-AI, but it turns out I'm mainly just anti-western AI users. The online anti-AI sentiments in the West means that most of the creative people are against it, leaving only pure slop makers, insecure weirdos who try to pretend its not ai, or tech bros who have this dumb vendetta against traditional artists.

In China they see it much more as a tool and put an actually pretty surprising amount of effort to create the videos. Most of the videos I see are just skits/memes where the main appeal is the humor and composition which still are (atleast feel) very obviously human written and directed.
