Googlehas good news for the time poor and bad news for content creators: its AI chatbot, Google Bard, can now watch YouTube videos so that you don’t have to. Its YouTube analysis feature has been given a hefty upgrade that means you can ask for specific details about a video’s content, so for example with a recipe video you’ll be able to ask Bard how many eggs you’ll need for the recipe.
This has the potential to be an enormous time-saver, but it could also be terrible news for people who rely on you to watch their videos so they can get paid.
The news comesviaAndroidAuthority, which suggests that the feature could give you handy details such as telling you what specific tool is being used in a repair video or where a particular part of a travel video was filmed. According to Google, the upgrade is because we “want deeper engagement with YouTube videos”.
How to get Bard to watch YouTube for you
Once you’ve done that you can enter plain language queries such as “show me a YouTube video how to make scrambled eggs” and then “how many eggs does the recipe have?” You should then get the result – in our video’s case, “according to the video, the recipe uses three eggs” – without having to find the appropriate part of the clip. It’s still pretty basic stuff – you can’t currently ask Bard to give you the whole recipe; it just answers specific questions about it – but you can see where it’s going.
