29. I didn't see it, and I've noticed those labels before. And other deepfakes of famous people have appeared

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.

Don't share it. It's an AI deepfake, as I explain in reply 9. highplainsdem 22 hrs ago #12
FarPoint, that is not only a fake, but the YouTuber ADMITS it's fake. Please see the disclaimers in highplainsdem 22 hrs ago #9

I've added a reply/update about this thread and that YouTube channel to my Community Help thread on deepfakes. highplainsdem 22 hrs ago #14
Just noticed the video now has an "Altered or synthetic content" label on it that wasn't on it earlier, but highplainsdem 22 hrs ago #15
OMG... FarPoint 21 hrs ago #17
That label wasn't there earlier. The YouTuber most likely saw responses - mine or others - identifying highplainsdem 21 hrs ago #18
As a victim.... FarPoint 21 hrs ago #19
It should be reported. Unfortunately, YouTube actively encourages their users to use AI tools. So you highplainsdem 21 hrs ago #23
I am just going to stick with the regulars like FarPoint 21 hrs ago #24
That's safest. And there's actually an app now to block you from seeing internet content after 2023, highplainsdem 21 hrs ago #27
YouTube shouldn't allow deepfakes like this at all. Intractable 21 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 21 hrs ago #25
Ummm. It's obvious Farpoint doesn't care. Intractable 20 hrs ago #28

I see. So you wish to cause more confusion to point out the confusion. Intractable 20 hrs ago #30
I'm not trying to cause confusion. I'm explaining that I didn't see any synthetic-content label there highplainsdem 20 hrs ago #31
Look at the thread overall to see the confusion you cause. Intractable 20 hrs ago #32
And yet you post in it. niyad 19 hrs ago #36
No, it did not when I first saw it on youtube. The alert was added later, niyad 19 hrs ago #33
