    That data is also publicly available (of course), so a model could be trained on it. I’d love to say I’d doubt Google/YouTube would ever do that, but at this point nothing would surprise me.

      If you move the slider on a video you’ll see which parts were watched most. The big peaks usually indicate people skipping sponsored segments.

      You don’t need AI for it.

        More data is always better. Especially data curated by humans. Have you not been paying attention? 😉
