Fake Victor Davis Hanson

This is AI generated.  I wouldn't have known this except for the disclaimer at the beginning, and Victor Davis Hanson himself calling out AI fakes on YouTube.  There are other fakes that don't have a disclaimer.

I hate this.  It is hard to know what is real and what isn't.

He has an official YouTube channel:


Maybe it should be illegal to impersonate someone using AI unless it is clearly marked as satire or parody.

Impersonating someone using AI is different from a Saturday Night Live parody.  The creators imply that this is real, which is fraud, and they are effectively stealing views from the real content creators.  It has the potential to slander the person being imitated.

If I were to make a fake Linus Tech Tips show, I'm sure that I would get sued.

This is the kind of thing that should be nipped in the bud before it takes over the Internet.
