AI Can Watch YouTube Videos For You!

AI now has the capability for watching YouTube videos for you and summarizing information that appears in the videos.

A new Google Bard expansion adds the ability to get details of YouTube videos through the chatbot.

“We’re taking the first steps in Bard’s ability to understand YouTube videos. For example, if you’re looking for videos on how to make olive oil cake, you can now also ask how many eggs the recipe in the first video requires,” Google wrote in the Nov. 21 experiment update.

This means that users can ask for specific information within the video or even to summarize a 5-hour long video. 

To do this, you have to enable the extension in Bard, and to get started you just need to give the AI a link to a YouTube video and ask any question you want.

However, some users have expressed that this might impact educational videos, as now users will not see the video and will just ask the AI questions.

This expansion comes after Google released some similar features with Google Flights, Google Maps, Google Drive, Google Docs, Gmail, and YouTube browser. Google has released this expansion to make its chatbot more attractive to people using other AIs.
