This reminds me: Remain vigilant (for the rest of your life 😭) for YouTube deepfakes of talking heads. I’ve seen a Mearsheimer one before that was fairly convincing, and yesterday I posted a Mercouris one before realizing. Fortunately for now, YouTube videos are often flagged as AI:
How this was made
Made with AI
Sounds or visuals were altered or fully generated. Learn moreYeah YouTube fakes are getting really good now, I find I always go to the official account of the people cause of that.
Yeah, like i would never be able to tell if this video had not been uploaded on the fakest account ever lmao.
I would easily be fooled if someone just posted a Glenn Diesen+guest deepfake in the comments and said that youtube deleted it, but they luckily had it downloaded before or some other kind of lie like that
the era where somebody can just send you a video and you can assume it’s real is definitely over now
Is this flagging done manually by the uploader or does YouTube do it?
I don’t know.
