@randahl This is also deep inside the uncanny valley....

@robcinos I suppose they will address this by introducing some new copyright detraction, but detecting the AI ripoffs is probably hard to do automatically.

I reported it as requested. 🫡

My question is: but is this really illegal in the US?
Their laws are different from ours.

[randahl@mastodon.social]

@elCelio pretty sure YouTube has a strong incentive to remove the channel once they become aware, no matter the state of the legal issue.

Done! Hope this is resolved for Paul!

It’s happening a lot - Yanis Varoufakis has had similar …

Or next to the channel description go to "more...". In the popup window there is the option to report the user. The applicable option is right there.

@randahl Reported for impersonation. I also subscribed to Paul’s channel rather than simply relying on the algorithm to push new content to me. The worrying thing about having to search for the impersonator to report it is that it may now taint the k8nd of content pushed to me. It’s a game of whack-a-mole to block fake news peddlers as it is!

@randahl done.

I was thinking: what if a channel steals images and audio not from another Yotoube channel, but from another site?

How can a person defend their identity?

[djembro@universeodon.com]

@randahl
Done. That’s been happening to a couple of other folks I follow. I hope some European sovereign video platform arises as an alternative and I hope it has strict prohibitions against AI impersonation of human beings.

@randahl @elCelio I respect your position, but I suspect a deeper anaysis would reveal that the incentives favour a total pivot to generative AI content, and I fear the tipping point is far closer than we think. I am terribly ignorant, tho wide strokes and public information appear to paint a picture of current and past media harvest to supplant with purchased narrative and low-risk scam. It's burning hot at both ends of the fuze. Not enuf room to expound upon, thank goodness, eh?
