Would there be a way to ai generate hour-long 4k content and automatically upload it to youtube?
And would this actually kill youtube or just force it to take action and make the experience more costly for the viewer?
Yes
You'd need an army of bots doing that and even then, you wouldn't come close to killing it, but might lead to shittier TOS in the future. YT already deals with thousands of hours of video being uploaded every minute
Isn't there a guy doing this already? He's openly foing this and i think plans to sell the a.i as an automated content generator
There's a tool that allows you to store files on youtube by encoding any data into a video. That's a good use of Google's storage imo.
Ensuring how to get the same file back from the video is what might be the tricky part, thanks to YT's compression algorithms. I don't know if the hash of a downloaded video is the same as the uploaded original, supposing it's downloaded at the same resolution and FPS
