Another banger video from f4mi, showcasing some pretty creative ways to sabotage slop summarisers/scrapers.

Sidenote: I was right - anti-scraping measures would make use of feeding false info to scrapers.

Funny enough, I saw it was 18 minutes and tossed it over to Gemini to summarize.

According to the video, it is about how to poison AI with subtitles.

The creator of the video, f4mi, explains that AI is being used to steal content from YouTube. They explain that AI can be tricked into thinking that the subtitles are gibberish by adding invisible text to the subtitles. This makes it difficult for AI to summarize the video. f4mi also explains that they have developed a Python script that can automatically add this invisible text to subtitles. They encourage other creators to use this method to protect their content from AI theft.

"funny enough"? why?

"tossed it over to gemini"? again, why?
