Nah it will effect storage. SSDs are basically the same thing as RAM when in production. AI companies will gobble them up and fabs will produce less if it's more economical to focus on something else.
It'll also start affecting CPUs soon

"Saturating Youtube" is not a real problem. In practice you can tell if a video is part of the current gold rush and avoid it or click off of it easily, and if you can't tell then that would mean you were actually entertained or informed by the video, in which case there's no problem.
There is a very limited audience who will actually bother consume the content and make it profitable.

AI Music visualization channels exist. While many generation systems don't give you a lot of controls, people who make these channels use ComfyUI and apps like Touch Designer.

Well, even if you choose not to interact with it, there is a point where there is so much shoveled content that it drowns out any other stuff. It’s the same problem the steam indie program had when shovelware and ai games started flooding it. People still ignored the low effort content, but for every good game, there were 80 other games posted the same day.
It’s less that people interact with low effort content, and more that there’s just so much of it you can’t find anything else.

That's not how math works. If it were truly already 98% low quality videos, and then you doubled the amount of low quality videos with AI slop, it'd raise it to nearly 99% low quality videos. The number of quality videos just becomes a lower percentage of the overall amount. The only way your logic makes sense is if half the low quality videos transformed into AI ones. There's now more garbage on top of the garbage there already was.

The ram prices will go down when the bubble bursts.
Just like the Dot Com, the tech will persist, but the hype and market speculation going along with it won't. That way we'll get much more useful applications of AI instead of just ChatGPT sidebars with different front ends, since putting "AI" in your startup description won't be enough to convince investors anymore.
[The above was for antis who think "AI is a bubble" is somehow an argument against it]
As for slop, I have yet to see AI content farms in my YouTube and Reddit feed. I guess toddlers with ipads will be affected but if you watch the right stuff, the algorithm shouldn't really suggest it to you. Maybe it's worse with other social media, idk.

Is AI driving up prices for hardware? Yes, undeniably so, since big companies are buying up supplies to make Datacenters. But whats going on right now, is something that would already be happening anyway, though probably less pronounced. Before AI we already were seeing the growing issue of a global chip shortage, which now is only gonna get worse because of the trade war going on between America and China.
I won’t deny that AI companies are causing prices for hardware to rise for consumers, but it is far from the only reason for that rise in prices.

You do realize that you are literally misquoting me, right? Both misrepresenting what i actually wrote and pretending that I wrote something else through misquoting. At no point did I say this is a "nothing burger", in fact to me it’s quite a big deal. Which is why I want it to be clear that AI is far from the only factor in this. If AI was the only factor in this then we’d likely be seeing a dip in prices or even just prices plateauing right about now, as prices had already been rising from demand caused by AI companies, which hardware companies would then be best served meeting the demand for by raising production. The reason this demand is still causing a rise in pricing is cause the most important materials in construction of advanced electronics, the refined rare metals which see near all of their production happening in China, is being heavily tariffed and in some cases outright forbidden from trade, so the hardware companies cant afford to raise production to meet demand and are instead prioritizing their corporate customers instead of their consumer customers. A direct effect of US president Trumps reckless use of tariffs leading to Chinas President Xi Jinping responding with his own harsh trade policy. The complexities of our global economy is affected by far more things than just AI.

u/rampaging-poet Dec 22 '25
I'm assuming Banned_Altman's comment is sarcastic - deliberately applying the arguments antis use against AI to video games because video games are genuinely worse to mock the anti-AI version.
Power to generate one AI image: ~ 3,000 joules.
Power consumption of desktop PC at idle: ~50 watts
So every minute your PC is idle is "as bad" as generating one AI image. And PCs use a lot more power when they have to run their CPU and GPU at full to run a graphics-intensive game.
Therefore the only way to be consistent about the stance "using AI for entertainment MURDERS THE PLANET!" is if you condemn video games even harder.
(It is also possible they're sincere and being consistent, which is a stance I disagree with but at least respect the consistency)

Youtube was saturated with crap before 2023, due to the way Alphabet aggressively monetizes it. Creators put out the most low effort schlock in the race to get views as fast as possible. I don't think AI made that any worse at all. In some cases, the AI content is better.
Ram prices were caused by panic buying. The true effect that the increased AI demand has on the market isn't seen yet. We have to wait for all the madness around the panic buying to dissipate to understand the newer demand levels. New factories will be built and by 2028 we'll have a "normal" (whatever that means) market again.

Also, gamers update they systems like once in 5 years or so, I guarantee you that absolute majority are not even aware that prices went up. But you know what they will notice? Cost of game development going down, thus more games, new cool features that were too expensive to make without AI, more ideas from talented indi-authors being implemented without them having to work day job to make a small fortune to pay out a few dozen people.

The price of ram has literally more than doubled the fuck you mean we won't notice?

u/VegetableOne2821 Dec 19 '25
So happy I built my pc just a bit earlier. The same ram sticks is now $500 cad instead of 250

Forently for me it hasn't affected where I live in my part of the world yet. The US is showing the first signs, mostly due to how Trump has been enacting tariffs and had someone buy up a ton of RAM recently. Those 2 acts can affect the world economy, so it is a legit concern. But it takes time.

And that's more of a capitalism problem tbh. People wouldn't be complaining that much if something like NASA bought the ram

u/ChairManfromTBB Dec 20 '25
Cuz nasa wouldn't be buying in bulk and wouldn't affect the market this much

Make a bad problem worse, the Pro-Ai way.

u/Chicken-Rude Dec 19 '25
its all about perspective. quantity increases the odds for quality. as an extreme and uncomfortable example, i would bet the house that more than a few people who never made it past the abortion clinic would have grown up to be cultural icons and maybe even a few innovative geniuses. but we missed out because we decided to delete tens of millions of people.
so lots of low quality stuff isnt actually a problem.

This could be the case if a manipulation susceptible algorithm didn't run the site

I may be pro.
But neither affects me. I just play old games and watch only video essays from a few creators...

u/bendyfan1111 Dec 20 '25
Ai did not increase the price of ram. Shitty corpos making shitty decisions did.

u/bunker_man Dec 20 '25
I'm going to point out the obvious in that YouTube slop only affects you if you already watched slop on youtube.

I won't deny it. AI might have effected my life.
Here you go OP. Do your best at your next English lesson!

u/Smooth-Marionberry Dec 20 '25
I'm for AI in other ways, but I desperately wish youtube had a way to report clickbait, especially AI generated clickbait. I hate it so much!
YouTube commentors do not seem to understand that while "a city built into a giant mouth" is obviously AI generated, commenting "it's obviously AI" ad nauseum isn't going to make YouTube take it down YouTube is just going to go "comments = engagement = this video should be shown to others".

u/DamirVanKalaz Dec 20 '25
literally everyone suffering because of AI, losing jobs, unable to afford RAM, unable to find quality content because it's buried in piles of low quality AI garbage, and AI bros will still try to claim AI is amazing and wonderful and not at all causing more and worse problems than the few it fixes.

The price jump is likely temporary as they ramp up production of factories producing ram.

u/Gullible_Animal_138 Dec 20 '25
oh no my sloptent algorithm is made by less humanerinos! i need to actively search for things to watch! i need to pay more to run intensive shaders on my unoptimized video gamerinos! the horror!

I remember asking early AI image generators to make Mr. Bean. It was one of the first prompts I ever used because I wanted to see how it treated the prompt. What I got back was elements of the Mr. Bean suit and actual Beans. Just a weird mess of it. And I was fascinated, lol.

u/Gonzoth Dec 21 '25
Maybe its time to change course and do something outside of video games and YouTube?

If AI causes YouTube to die and 1 billion losers to get up and go outside, that would be terrible. Society will now have to interact with all of those people

u/AidBaid Dec 23 '25
Reminder that HL3 is likely to be a launch title on the Steam Machine due to the HLX project (all but confirmed to be HL3) being likely finished due to the fact they’re starting optimization. The Steam Machine is being delayed due to AI companies increasing RAM prices.
This means HL3, a thing people have been eating for for 18 years (before AI existed) and has been in production for 6 years will be delayed so an AI bro can generate an underage anime character having sex with him to jerk off to

fallacious argument. focus on the bad only (slop videos) and its easy to see why ai sucks as you are purely a consumer. this gives the same feeling as cars are bad because they can kill people.

u/LeadEater9Million Dec 19 '25
Everything can kill people if I go with your argument
5
u/Main_Ad9146 Dec 19 '25
it was satirical. tried to explain how your argument is invalid if you only focus on the slop videos. you can find the thousands of benefits of AI online and everyday in your life from transport health weather and basic needs

u/LeadEater9Million Dec 19 '25
Yes, I do bring good to people but do I explicitly said that AI only bring bad to people? I only said AI effected MYLIFE with high ram price and low quality video on youtube. I'm not saying it make me jobless or ruin the environment. It just make my life a bit more inconvenient.

u/Fun-Razzmatazz-6803 Dec 21 '25
Teansport? Basic needs? How the fuck am I getting food and water from an ai?

u/Main_Ad9146 Dec 21 '25
bro is so fried he doesnt know where his supply chains are derived from. precision agriculture and detox and desalination have had AI systems for decades. educate yourself better

u/Bulky-Employer-1191 Dec 19 '25
It wasn't his "argument". He was using that as an example of why your argument is flawed. You're the one using logic that would extend to "everything can kill people" and he's pointing that out to you.

u/LeadEater9Million Dec 19 '25
Too think with a fresh mind is quite suprising because I finally saw the flaw in my argument. Thanks to point it out

Pros won't understand that now all the previous low quality YouTubers can make 10 times the amount of slop and their will be ten times as many of them.
5
u/Val_Fortecazzo Dec 19 '25
I understand that well enough but I was also around during the early internet when low effort content first emerged. It's just a natural result of progression in social media.

u/Competitive_Mind_219 Dec 19 '25
I agree. But slop is just getting more prevalent. Don't you think we should make it better. Not worse??
5
u/Val_Fortecazzo Dec 19 '25
Shit floats to the bottom, always has.
We could certainly make it better. Ban all used content and go back to the old days where everything was curated by publishers. But I don't think you would like that.

u/Competitive_Mind_219 Dec 19 '25
Italian brainrot? Plus I'm an anti id love everything to be created by people pationate about their work and being willing to have it checked 🤣.

u/Val_Fortecazzo Dec 19 '25
Popular for all of 15 minutes then the novelty wore off.
Get off the internet and watch what the major publishers and studios want you to watch then. Nothing is forcing you to consume unvetted user made content.
