    Is it AI based? I thought people add their own time segments with a label. I know I can turn the feature on to do that using Revanced.

      I thought it was 100% human based. Never heard of any AI involved in it until today.

        It’s not AI based whatsoever and is entirely crowdsourced by users creating the segments. Not sure where you got the idea AI has any part in it other than a purely blind assumption that you’re now spreading as fact.
