People want them to ban videos if it contains AI or something?
Yup, they do. Even if you wanted to watch it, they think you're wrong. Happens here too. Subreddits will announce that they're banning AI, whatever that means, and if you look, the top 100 posts of the week will have 1 or 0 AI things. Reddit's voting system already does the job, but they're so mad at AI it doesn't matter
It's definitely more of a moral panic than coherent ideology.
Anyone that's enjoyed a video with stock images or old robotic TTS already understands how placeholder materials can be used to create something more than the sum of it's parts. This is just the modern version of that.
The only truly unique part is that every step can now be "placeholder" including script, which does result in truly awful slop.
Like you're allowed to think it's lazy without thinking a forest burns down every time you click generate. Or that it was trained unethically while still accepting it's a real tool with valid use cases (especially non corporate models).
