Done. That’s been happening to a couple of other folks I follow. I hope some European sovereign video platform arises as an alternative and I hope it has strict prohibitions against AI impersonation of human beings. -

My fellow YouTuber Paul Warburg has been AI cloned by a new YouTube channel which is trying to make a profit off his visual identity using an AI version of him.
Please help me kill the bot by reporting one or more videos on this channel:

Use the report button underneath a video and choose the category "hateful or abusive content", and write "Illegal AI clone of the Paul Warburg channel".

Youtube just showed me fake Yanis Varoufakis the other day - not that I’d watch him, since the Russian invasion - and being unprepared it took me a while to realise that it wasn’t the person reading some weird press release but an AI clickbaity impersonation.
We need to escape those crap suggesting algorithms! -
@randahl Reported for impersonation. I also subscribed to Paul’s channel rather than simply relying on the algorithm to push new content to me. The worrying thing about having to search for the impersonator to report it is that it may now taint the k8nd of content pushed to me. It’s a game of whack-a-mole to block fake news peddlers as it is!
An additional element of this attack may be that if a significant number of people block (from inside or outside the YT system) an impersonator, that may be interpreted as unwillingess to view similar content i.e. the original being impersonated, downgrading their ranking. Not sure to what degree this would work, though. -
@randahl oh what fresh hell AI is
@paul It's nightmarish.

@electropict @randahl For that to be feasible the algorithm would have to be assuming from the beginning that the content was bogus. I.e. Google would be saying “Oh, this person likes or doesn’t like fake AI slop, hang on whilst I get some more”

@randahl Reported on YT for impersonation of someone else. Reason:- “cgi same clothing in each video and spouting nonsense. “

@randahl wow. Reported

@randahl
Thank you for doing this. We need to protect creators. I follow him and am happy to act on it. I have reported it as ‘impersonation’.@taatm thank you. Did you do so from a computer? Because I could not find that category on the iPhone YouTube app.
-
@randahl
Please tell me the name or link me to Paul’s real channel! I want to turn that channel in for impersonation! Good looking out, bro.
Also, I want to subscribe to Paul’s real channel at your recommendation!@morst The real Paul Warburg is here:
-
@randahl done.
He did use the copyright rapport function himself I hope? (Tried "legal", but that's for the owner of content.)@Frieke72 yes he did, but he wrote a post about YouTube not yet reacting to his complaint.

@darkpaw I am not seeing “Report user” on neither iPad or iPhone. Are you using a web browser on a computer?

Btw, a new trend as there are more channels doing so lately.
These channels often use hyper-realistic AI news anchors to report on fabricated major news events or promote scams, exploiting public trust
Saw one with Robert de Niro, Arnold Schwarzenegger and seen more…
Very worrying developments…

@randahl
I reported too. Hipe it helps -
@robcinos I suppose they will address this by introducing some new copyright detraction, but detecting the AI ripoffs is probably hard to do automatically.
