I don’t have a problem with this, anymore than I do with slop literature or slop television. I look for what I want and ignore what I don’t.

The problem is that YouTube AI will use real people names to present fake stories, without revealing they are AI, and it sometimes takes a while to confirm they are fake. I am getting a flood of fake "Dean Martin as principled hero" videos.

People are developing along with the technology in their ability to recognize fakes. After you experience a few of these you are able to recognize them for what they are.

People have always been able to propagandize and lie to us, there have always been scams, urban legends, etc., and we’ve had to learn to see through it all. This is just a new way of doing it.

The only real control I can see lies in learning to question and use one’s common sense.
