There was a bunch of this sort of fake AI slop in the past month or so pretending to be from Elon Musk. I haven't seen those in the last two weeks so he may have cracked down on them. VHD does say he has not be able to get YouTube or X to crack down on the ones impersonating himself.

This sort of thing is massively fraudulent and harmful to those being exploited. While new laws may be needed to combat it, I would prefer that YouTube and X require creators to openly identify themselves whenever they present their content as commentary from a public personality. At a minimum, they should release the creators identify to the public person who is be misrepresented upon request. A few lawsuits might put a check on this particular kind of deception.

Yesterday, I opened a VDH video and there was a notice in green indicating it was made up from AI.

I like VDH, but his videos tend to be very long, and in some cases tedious to make his points. He is also very repetitive in subject matter.

But, in the long run, VDH is a true winner preaching American salvation sermons
