YouTube has recently announced that they are testing their AI summarizer on long-form videos with Shorts. This feature aims to organize lengthy comment sections on English-language Shorts into more manageable themes, making it easier for users to navigate through discussions. Here’s what you need to know about this exciting update:

– The AI summarizer is currently available on mobile devices, allowing users in the experiment group to sort comments by “Topics” on select Shorts.
– Creators can utilize the comment summaries generated by the AI to actively engage in discussions with their audience or even generate new content based on popular topics.
– Additionally, creators have the option to delete individual comments that appear under specific topics, giving them more control over the conversations taking place on their videos.
– It’s important to note that the AI-generated “Topics” are derived solely from published comments and cannot be generated from comments that are under review, contain blocked words, or are from blocked users.

This feature was announced over the weekend and is currently being rolled out on the YouTube mobile app to a limited number of viewers. If you have access to the AI summarizer, you may not see the feature available on all Shorts right away. Keep an eye out for this update as it continues to expand across the platform!
