“Cheapfake” AI celebrity video is rascally seductive on YouTube

“They are adjusting my voice or whatever they are doing, adjusting their voice to make it sound like me, and people comment on it like me, not me,” Washington told Wired recently when asked about AI. “I don’t have an Instagram account. I don’t have Tiktok. I don’t have any content.
For Clark, talk show videos clearly attracted moral anger – allowing viewers to be more likely to be with and spread false information. “It’s a good emotion if you want to interact. If you make someone feel sad or hurt, then they may keep it on themselves. If you make them feel angry, then they may share videos with like-minded friends and write a long rant in the comments,” he explained, if the described events are not true, or even clearly stated as “AI-generated,” the characters involved may behave in this way (at least to the viewer’s viewer’s opinion). In some other cases. YouTube’s own ecosystem inevitably plays a role. With so many viewers passively consuming content while driving, cleaning, and even falling asleep, when fused into a passively absorbed stream of information, AI-generated content no longer needs to be polished.
Reality Defender is a company that specializes in identifying deep strikes, reviewing some videos. “What we can share is that some of our family and friends (especially older people) have come across videos like this, and although they haven’t completely convinced them, they do sign in with us (knowing we are experts) because they’re on the fence,” said Ben Colman, Cofman, Cofner, Cofounder and Cofounder and COOFOUNDER and CEO Defender.
Wired also contacts multiple channels for comment. There was only one creator, the owner of the channel with 43,000 subscribers, responded.
“I’m just creating fictional story interviews, and I clearly mention the description of each video,” they said anonymously. “I chose fictional interview formats because it allowed me to combine storytelling, creativity and realism in a unique way. These videos feel immersive – like you’re constantly evolving in the moments of watching the real thing – this emotional realism really attracts people. It’s like giving the audience a “what if?” While still completely fiction, this scene feels dramatic, intensely and even surprising. ”
But when it comes to the possible motivations behind the channels (most of which are based outside the United States), a strict political agenda is not a sudden career hub for immersive storytelling, which is a full explanation. However, channels with the word “earning money” hint at a more obvious financial intent, as is the repetitive nature of the channel – wired to see evidence of repeated videos, as well as multiple channels operated by the same creator, including some people hanging sister channels.
It’s no surprise that there are more content farms than ever before, especially those targeting vulnerable groups, which are currently solidifying their own rise of generative AI on YouTube. Throughout the situation, creators chose controversial topics in compromise, such as children’s television roles, and even Sean Combs’ sex trafficking trials to generate as much engagement and income as possible.
