It doesn't seem clear if this sweep will pick up AI-generated maths, physics and CS videos on YouTube, which use AI-generated scripts, AI-generated voices and graphical animations which are presumably produced from AI-generated code for input to Manim or the like. Or all the AI-generated documentaries about military vehicles which apparently use a similar mix of AI-generated scripts and voiceovers combined with old video footage and photos pulled from archives at the AI's direction. These have been absolutely flooding their categories on YouTube for a while now.

There's a thoughtful video by maths YouTuber Mathemanic about this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRO_QonhC2c . It includes a discussion of YouTube's "Inspirations" tab https://youtu.be/mRO_QonhC2c?t=331 (based on a Tibees video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cd5EHfRerGI ) about Google's own efforts to push AI-generated video ideas at channel owners. Videos which result from "Inspirations" concepts presumably won't (in general) be flagged as AI, unlike Veo work-product.
