For everyone asking if this is an "official" announcement: You are technically right—YouTube didn't make a video saying "We are banning AI Stories." That’s not how they operate.
Instead, they did two things silently:
The Tech: They officially implemented C2PA and SynthID (Source: Google DeepMind below), which allows them to 'see' AI generation in your files down to the pixel level.
The Policy: In mid-2025, they quietly updated the "Repetitious Content" guidelines to include "Inauthentic Content." This small wording change gave them the legal ground to terminate channels for "mass production" without warning.
They gave themselves the tools to detect it and the rules to ban it without a big press release. See the official documentation below. This video highlights my theory on what is happening and what connections I found that may be the cause
