This seems a bit like a misrepresentation to me.
What is meant with “auto-generated video” is that when you release a song, it appears on different platforms such as Spotify and Amazon music as well as iTunes, but also ofc YouTube. And YouTube makes a little video, because everything on YouTube is a video. But the contribution to the content from YouTube is zero. And of course there is no AI or creative input from YouTube involved in any way.
The actual problem here is that YouTube either doesn’t have guidelines on hatespeech or similar in songs (YouTube Music - it’s a separate part of the platform basically), or they don’t enforce it.
Of course this doesn’t change the fact that YouTube probably shouldn’t release any songs that would be against their regular content policies on their platform. But I really wanted to make it clear that YouTube’s contribution to the content itself is zero. It’s only taking song from the distributor and putting it on the platform.

Over 20 people were injured in different parts after groups of Hindus marched through Muslim neighbourhoods waving saffron flags and swords as they danced and shouted along to anti-Muslim songs blasting from loudspeakers.
“The priority should be to make sure that the technology is not misused in environments where politics and personal relations and other aspects of society are actually more volatile.”In the opposition statement to the shareholder’s proposal, Alphabet said that it believes the company provides sufficient disclosures about YouTube’s policies and procedures and that it completes “extensive regulatory compliance work.”
