YouTube is broadening its experimental feature that uses AI to summarize comment sections, now testing it across all languages supported by YouTube comments. This expansion follows positive feedback from the initial English-language rollout.
Key Points of the Update:
Multilingual Expansion: The comment topics feature, previously available only for English content, is now being tested across all YouTube-supported languages.
AI-Powered Organization: The feature uses artificial intelligence to categorize large comment sections into digestible themes.
Mobile Accessibility: Users in the experiment group will see a new "✨Topics" sorting option on some videos when viewing comments on mobile devices.
Creator Benefits:
- Easier engagement with comment discussions
- Potential inspiration for new content based on audience discussions
- Ability to remove specific topics by deleting individual comments
Content Source: AI-generated topics are derived only from published comments, excluding those held for review, containing blocked words, or from blocked users.
Limited Rollout: The test is currently available to a small number of viewers on the YouTube mobile app, focusing on videos with large comment sections.
This update aims to enhance user experience by simplifying navigation through extensive comment sections, while also providing creators with valuable insights into audience discussions. As YouTube continues to refine this feature, it could significantly impact how users and creators interact with video comments across various languages and cultures.
