Automated AI algorithms, some day.

how is an "AI algorithm" going to figure out a newly uploaded video is a dupe of a Youtube video that is in the process of trending? How would you effectively contentID every single popular video on Youtube and run it against a fully distributed video platform? Just magical AI things I guess?

contentID sort of thing is actually possible - I am actually working on a proof of concept AI bot to identify spam and plagiarism.
