Monstrous AI Slop imitating famous people is OUT OF CONTROL on YouTube
It's a horrific scourge. Realistic AI imitations of celebrities,
politicians, and more putting words in their mouths that they never said
are flooding YouTube. Sometimes the "Altered or synthetic content" label
is visible if you bother to look at the description (which takes extra
effort on YT TV interfaces in particular) but the similar warning banner
that used to appear for some seconds overlaid on the videos no longer
seems to routinely appear.
Google is creating a monster, and sooner rather than later that monster
is likely to turn on its maker.
