The new feature called "Ask YouTube" allows users to ask complex questions and receive "summary results including videos and text, then ask further to learn more deeply", as introduced on YouTube Labs. This feature is being tested.
To use it, users need to turn on the feature in their account, then press the "Ask YouTube" button on the search bar. The system will give question suggestions, or users can enter a private request.
Quick tests show that some questions are returned by the system with summaries and related videos. However, some queries still only display video lists as traditional searches, and sometimes AI provides inaccurate information.
In the context of technology companies actively promoting AI, YouTube users are cautious about content created by AI. YouTube's new search feature can only convince users if it really helps them access quality content faster and more effectively.
