"YouTube's rolling out a new function that will switch on captions whenever you mute a clip, while it's also got a new generative AI option that can animate a still image, and it's got a new incentive for YouTube Music subscribers. YouTube has said that it's going to make a big push on subscriptions this year, by adding new features and options for paying users."
"So now, if you can't be bothered putting together a playlist yourself, you can let AI do it for you, by tapping the AI Playlist button, which will then ask you what types of music you're after. It will then use that as the prompt for your personalized list. Which could be good, I guess, though it depends on how well the system understands your music tastes, and what aligns with the mood you've outlined."
"Probably not enough to inspire a heap more people to sign-up to YouTube Premium for, but still, it's another experiment. YouTube initially pitched this as AI radio stations, which it tested with some Premium subscribers last year. It's now re-branded the option to make it sound more personalized, and expanded it to all Premium subscribers. Some handy updates, along with the AI puppet option, which I don't personally get."
YouTube will automatically enable captions when users mute clips, adds a generative AI tool that can animate a still image, and introduces an AI Playlist feature for subscribers. All YouTube Premium and YouTube Music subscribers can generate personalized playlists by tapping an AI Playlist button and describing desired music types; the system uses that input as the prompt for the list. The AI playlist originated as tested 'AI radio stations' for some Premium users and is now rebranded and expanded to all Premium subscribers. The platform is prioritizing subscription growth through added paid-user features, while experimental options like an AI puppet tool are also present.
