a reliable giveaway for AI generated videos is just a quick glance at the account's post history—the videos will look frequent, repetitive, and lack a consistent subject/background—and that's not something that'll go away when AI videos get better

How can they look repetitive while being inconsistent? Do you mean in terms of presentation / "editing" style?

Why not? Surely you can ask your friendly neighbourhood AI to run a consistent channel for you?

I actually avoid most YouTube channels that upload too frequently. Especially with consistent schedules.

Even if I'm 100% certain it's not AI slop, it's still a very strong indicator that the videos are some kind of slop.

A giveaway for detecting AI-generated text is the use of em-dashes, as noted in op - you are caught bang to rights!
