Like for example: I watch a random youtube video & on that video it mentions something (an idea, item, person etc.) that isn’t related to the topic of the video, it caught my interest & before I complete the full sentence or word on youtube search bar the specific thing that I was interested it is suddenly on the top row of search recommendations, that’s more strange is that the video I viewed wasn’t even popular nor mainstream but instead it’s an obscure one & this is not even the first time it happened.
My hypothesis for this is that youtube has an AI that listened to the audio of every video uploaded & collects the words said on the videos which they use when someone watch a video that the AI recognize then recommends it on search bar, or maybe not so if I’m wrong about my theory can someone explain how youtube does this?
In: Technology
Youtube auto-generates closed captions for videos, so it would make the most sense that those words are used in some form of backend search or tag function associated with that video.
There’s also the possibility that other people have also searched for a similar item after watching the same video, so again there’s more associated searches already associated with the currently playing video and Google is remembering that when offering suggestions for searches to you.
