ai-slop, deepfakes, etc. There are so many out there, how do we tell?

One of the reasons I go to the actual youtube channel is to read the comments before I even open the video, unless it is a person/channel I trust, based on experience. Those comments have alerted me several times to the fakes. The other thing is that I read the descriptions, including the "more". . , and, if need be, click on the channel name itself. In one case, I had to read all the way to the last paragraph of the channel description to learn that it was ai-slop.

Now, I realize that not everybody has that kind of time, nor are many people as deeply cyniical as I am. All we can do is be as vigilant as possible.

By the way, not every reading of the descriptors is negative. I have found all sorts of interesting information in many that I have read. It is one of the reasons I actually read the credits when I watch a movie. One never knows what one might learn. As an example, I watched "The Last Holiday" with Queen Latifah the other day. Several of the important scenes took place witth the character's church choir. The credits showed that it was the Ebenezer Baptist Church Choir. Just an interesting piece of information to me.
