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.

Don't share it. It's an AI deepfake, as I explain in reply 9. highplainsdem 8 hrs ago #12

It should be reported. Unfortunately, YouTube actively encourages their users to use AI tools. So you highplainsdem 8 hrs ago #23
I am just going to stick with the regulars like FarPoint 8 hrs ago #24
That's safest. And there's actually an app now to block you from seeing internet content after 2023, highplainsdem 7 hrs ago #27
YouTube shouldn't allow deepfakes like this at all. Intractable 8 hrs ago #22
I agree. But since it can be hard to identify deepfakes, I wouldn't want alerts or posts being hidden, as with highplainsdem 7 hrs ago #25
Ummm. It's obvious Farpoint doesn't care. Intractable 7 hrs ago #28
I didn't see it, and I've noticed those labels before. And other deepfakes of famous people have appeared highplainsdem 6 hrs ago #29
I see. So you wish to cause more confusion to point out the confusion. Intractable 6 hrs ago #30
I'm not trying to cause confusion. I'm explaining that I didn't see any synthetic-content label there highplainsdem 6 hrs ago #31
Look at the thread overall to see the confusion you cause. Intractable 6 hrs ago #32
And yet you post in it. niyad 6 hrs ago #36
No, it did not when I first saw it on youtube. The alert was added later, niyad 6 hrs ago #33
