Request for input

Every week I get multiple comments from YouTube viewers who think that I am not a real person, but an AI generated character.

What can I do in my next episode that will lay this weird conspiracy theory to rest?

Comment on the video “Why Trump’s regime will fall” where Megan writes:

Come on guys, can't you put for some little tiny bit of effort? This Al shit is so creepy, it's like a bad science fiction movie. I don't mean to be so hard on you, but this stuff is really weird and it's hard for me to even consider subscribing to a channel when I don't know what your voice sounds like, l get that not everybody wants to put their face out there and I don't blame you, I wouldn't but use maybe animation drawings but this is just really weird — Comment on the video “Why Trump’s regime will fall” where Megan writes: Come on guys, can't you put for some little tiny bit of effort?

The only thing that I can imagine, is if you do a 'live' broadcast with 'world time' somewhere in the shot, or maybe something like BBC World news live on a computer in the background.

@randahl Point out your grammar and pronunciation errors, as well as your telltale Danish accent, which are all not readily attributable to text-to-speech or auto-generated content.

(I realize this may sound like I'm telling you that you need to work on your English, but what I mean is that it takes rather extreme training or talent to sound like a native English or American speaker. Curiously, a common "mistake" is to obey language rules that are generally broken by native speakers.)

@randahl As long as you occasionally show your face and speak on camera, I will believe you are real. If the only thing you ever offer is voiceovers and graphics, and you have a monotone delivery, AI will be suspected.

@sjsmac I have replied to the comment seen above, that I gave a live lecture about Disinformation in Vienna, which is visible here:

That would be rather hard to fake.
