I'm the author of my video content, not YouTube.
I carefully produce and render it, carefully ensuring it meets the quality level I require, and then I upload it.
I assume YouTube will transcode it, sure, but I assume they have expert engineers who have tailored the transcoding system to maintain the highest possible video quality whilst hitting whatever their filesize goals are.
At no point should AI be applied to alter the content of my video in any way, especially without my consent. That's ridiculous.
Sadly YouTube owns your content, not you.
Unless you grant copyright to YouTube when you upload a video, which seems very unlikely given the corporate interests involved, this is misinformation.
