MoistCr1TiKaL blasts “delusional” YouTube CEO over AI tools claim

Popular YouTuber MoistCr1TiKaL criticized YouTube’s increasing use of artificial intelligence for content moderation, following comments defending the practice by CEO Neal Mohan.

YouTube is so large that it’s impossible for people to review every video and comment. To help, YouTube uses AI to identify content that might break its rules.

This has caused problems for many YouTubers, as their videos are sometimes unexpectedly removed by automated systems. When creators try to get these removals reversed, it often takes a long time for a real person to review their case.

In a recent interview with Time Magazine after being named Time’s CEO of the Year, YouTube’s Neal Mohan explained that their AI tools are getting better incredibly quickly – improving weekly. He believes AI will also empower a new wave of content creators on the platform.

MoistCr1TiKaL urges YouTube to stop letting AI ban channels

Okay, so there’s been a lot of drama lately, and honestly, I get why people are upset. Even MoistCr1TiKaL chimed in, and he’s right – YouTube Shorts are getting flooded with these AI-generated videos that are just… bad. Like, total garbage. He’s worried about where things are heading if AI starts running the show, and he even said it should be against the rules for AI to ban channels. It’s a pretty scary thought, honestly.

He strongly believes AI shouldn’t have the power to permanently ban users from platforms like YouTube. He argues it’s unacceptable for AI to make the final decision about someone’s channel, effectively acting as judge, jury, and executioner. Giving AI that level of control, he says, simply doesn’t make sense.

If the platform wants to use AI to help with moderation, it should only be used to privately flag content for review by a human. However, it appears Neal has a different plan.

Moist argues that AI tools won’t create a new wave of creators like the early days of YouTube; instead, he thinks they’ll be the opposite of that creative boom.

Honestly, it’s frustrating to see how easy it’s become for anyone to create these short, low-effort AI videos. With all these new tools, people are pumping out tons of them – like, 40 a day! – and the result is just a flood of really poor-quality content. It feels like everything’s becoming just… ‘AI slop,’ as one person put it, and it’s getting harder to find anything genuinely good.

He stated they haven’t observed any benefits from the AI tools Neal recommends, and strongly criticized them, calling them a major problem for YouTube.

Moist also highlighted the situation with Pokémon YouTuber SplashPlate, who was banned by AI after someone else re-uploaded his videos, even though he originally posted them himself.

He believes Neal would likely be open to handing over control of YouTube to AI in the future, and questions whether Neal agrees. He strongly criticizes the company’s leadership under Neal, describing it as out of touch with reality, based on comments Neal made in a recent interview.
