YouTube Is Testing a Chatbot , Under Certain Videos.
On Nov. 6, YouTube revealed
two new experimental AI features.
Premium subscribers will be able to test a chatbot and "AI-generated comment summaries" below the video they're watching, Engadget reports. .
Both features are opt-in,
so users must sign up for access.
AI summaries will arrange comments
into "easily digestible themes.".
The feature will be available
"on a small number of videos in English"
that have numerous comments.
The chatbot allows you to
"dive in deeper" by posing questions about
a video and searching for related content.
The AI tool seems to operate in the same manor
as Bard, Google's chatbot, Engadget reports.
It learns from information
on the web and on YouTube.
The chatbot will first be available "to a small number of people on a subset of videos.".
However, YouTube warns that the new AI features "may not always get it right."
