⚠️ Alert on #Youtube's bombardment by #AI surrogate #influencers. Likely 1,000's of #misinformation channels run by who knows what malign actors.

For instance your popular #geopolitical analist cloned by #LLM #deepfake, with nothing that indicates this, or sometimes with an obfuscated disclaimer ("we're fans of").

Some vids are REALLY hard to discern from the real deal, esp. if you do not know the speaker upfront. Only a slight #UncannyValley tells.

Some channels have millions of subscribers.
