YouTube will release an AI-powered comment summarization feature for creators by March 15, 2025. The feature will use AI to analyze comments on videos and generate summaries of key discussion topics, questions, praise, and complaints. It will provide an overview of comment sentiment and themes that goes beyond basic statistics, showing AI capabilities on par with GPT-3 and above.
The comment summarization feature does not need to support all YouTube creators or videos initially, but must be made available for a significant subset, such as creators above a certain number of subscribers or views.
Limited, low-level AI features that output only simple statistics or counts will not satisfy this claim.

Getting these AI summaries of comments under a topics section for many videos now
@firstuserhere cool, could you link me one? I've looked randomly at a few but don't have that. I wonder if it's scoped per video, or per user?
@firstuserhere actually I see a few more categories for some videos, such as "timed", where comments appear according to what timestamp people were at when they commented, or "video replies" which is a throwback to 2011? YouTube where you could post videos in comment sections to reply, but now they're all shorts. There was also some "play ai music" option I got but I seem to have lost it now
@firstuserhere interesting. I went into that second video on my android device and definitely don't have the "Topics" comments subsection divider. So it may be based on user identity, abtest, android/iphone, but at least is not at 100% rollout yet.
@Ernie yeah for sure. Don't seem to be getting it on YouTube in browser for the same video on the same account when I got it on app
