(59,535 posts)both the description of that particular video
and in the info about the channel, which you can find at
https://youtube.com/@VoiceOf-Hollywood
when you click on "...more" above the Subscribe button. The channel description has a longer disclaimer:
We use visual lip-syncing and narrated voiceovers to pair clear explanations with on-screen footage solely to enhance understanding and viewer engagement.
Our mission is to highlight Robert De Niros publicly expressed viewsmaking his insights on film, society, politics, and contemporary issues more accessible to a wider audience.
We present his viewpoints respectfully and accurately, without any intent to mislead, impersonate, or imply personal involvement.
That's BS, of course, since their intent was to mislead and impersonate. They know from comments their deepfakes are tricking people, as this one tricked you and others here. They shouldn't be creating these videos at all - they rip off De Niro, treat him as a puppet - but at the very least, they should have clearly labeled all the videos on their channel as AI.
And although the channel names are different, this could very well be the same AI user who generated deepfakes of Obama and Jimmy Kimmel that fooled DUers last month.
See my Community Help thread, OP and replies, about those fakes
https://democraticunderground.com/125629423
and see my reply 2 in the thread that had the Obama deepfake
https://www.democraticunderground.com/100220808654#post2
for the similar-sounding disclaimer with those deepfakes.
And also see my reply 9 update in the Community Health thread
https://democraticunderground.com/125629423#post9
for a link to my message about a fake Jimmy Kimmel video that had been posted to DU
https://www.democraticunderground.com/100220836071#post34
and that was not only fake, but had a disclaimer where the AI-using YouTuber had inserted Gavin Newsom's name instead of Kimmel's - and then corrected it at least a day later. Indicating that fraudster probably had Gavin Newsom deepfakes uploaded to yet another YouTube channel, and had lost track of which name went with each channel.
But whether or not it's the same AI-using fraudster, it's still a deepfake, still fraud and completely unethical, even with the disclaimers few people are likely to notice.
I'm sorry you were tricked, but your OP is now tricking others into spreading this deepfake.
Please delete it.
And please be more careful.
I'm sorry I didn't see your thread earlier. My thanks to SheltieLover for pointing it out to me.

(14,470 posts)I just can't take this fake media any longer! I'm an honest person, every day trying to find good in a sea of evil....
Robert De Niro also has a YouTube channel . " The Bobby Report"...so I took the bait...
Regardless...at least this reflected the reality of the trumpian speech...
Sorry....
Oh look her.... I went ahead and googled to see if the Bobby Report was real..... NOPE! It is not!
Fuck!
No, the YouTube channel "The Bobby Report" is not Robert De Niro's official channel. The channel description explicitly states that it uses AI to generate content in his likeness.
The videos on "The Bobby Report" use artificial intelligence to mimic Robert De Niro's face and voice to promote its messages, and the content is not authorized or created by the actor himself. Robert De Niro has no association with the channel.

(59,535 posts)should have been.
YouTube shouldn't allow deepfakes like this at all. They're horribly unfair to both the famous people whose images and voices are exploited, and to all the people tricked by them for even a few minutes. No one creating deepfakes like this is truly a fan of the famous person who's being used as a puppet to get clicks/views and maybe a bit of money.

(59,535 posts)the video as fraud, and added the label in a hurry. That channel should be shut down.
FarPoint
(14,470 posts)I am going to report this
highplainsdem
(59,535 posts)see deepfakes and copyright infringement all over YouTube, and misleading AI-generated content about health and history and science and any other topic, and the worthwhile content is more and more getting buried in AI slop.

highplainsdem
(59,535 posts)because there's some chance it might be AI. Saw articles and social media posts on that. But it's useless if you want to see any news or recent content.
I have to admit that these days when I see anyone post an artist I don't recognize in Music Appreciation - which I host, and where AI isn't welcome because it isn't real music or art - I say a little prayer, when I click on it, that it won't be AI. And I'm relieved if there's a date for the YouTube upload long enough ago that it can't be generative AI.

(1,548 posts)More importantly, DU shouldn't allow this crap.
highplainsdem
(59,535 posts)other violations of rules - unless, maybe, someone flatly refused to remove a deepfake that had been identified as such. And in this case FarPoint might want to leave it in the OP to show YouTube how he was tricked (EDIT: how she was tricked), before the synthetic content label was added.
Intractable
(1,548 posts)This video had the label of "Altered content" from its inception. You just didn't notice it.
Just imagine if Google didn't label them this way. How easily fooled we all would be. I suspect that is coming in the future.
highplainsdem
(59,535 posts)here without the altered content label. No one who replied earlier had mentioned seeing it, either. I didn't see it last night, when the video was called to my attention, or when I looked at it again before replying this morning, and I clicked on the video more than once in the OP. Didn't see the synthetic content label till after my own reply was there.
So I know YouTube isn't labeling all of them. They probably expect the YouTube user to label them.
FarPoint is complaining directly to YouTube and leaving the OP there for that reason, to show the confusion and harm caused. I told her earlier that she SHOULD leave the video there for that reason.
Intractable
(1,548 posts)This thread taken as a whole is absurd.
highplainsdem
(59,535 posts)earlier, despite looking at the OP and clicking on the video multiple times.
YouTube does NOT add those labels automatically. The creator has to add them:
