Watch out for AI-slop YouTube channels with tear-jerking or sensational fake stories about celebrities [View all]

They're all over YouTube these days. I just had to point one out after a video from it was posted here.

I'm not going to post any video from these clickbait channels here, but I'll give you the names of two typical AI slop clickbait channels - but with a break in the name so the actual name won't get picked up by search engines

Go to Youtube

https://youtube.com

and search for these channel names, with the space closed

@TheBeatles Stories1

and

@MickJaggerThe UntoldLegacy

and you'll see what I mean.

The channel about the Beatles, though created in 2022, has no videos older than 4 months old - but 200 videos made with AI uploaded during those months.

The channel about Mick Jagger is several weeks old and has 44 AI-generated videos already.

This kind of AI slop is all over Facebook, too. I posted a news story about one artist's reaction to it yesterday: https://democraticunderground.com/100220811909
