Hope this is okay here but I am more and more skeptical of short form videos and hope there is a community where we can go to drop slop and have it identified.

Here’s the one in question today:

    The Frank Zappa video is fake AF. Just google like “Frank Zappa Al Bundy quote” or any of the other topics. None of them are there. The google “AI” says Zappa was never quoted about Al Bundy.

    Also the video itself looks too sharp for when this guy died. And the million russian hashtags? Phony.

    edit: Holy shit just look at the account. It’s all pure “AI” disinfo. smh.

    Most AI video tools aren’t perfect, so you can only spot the most obvious fakes. If someone takes time to edit a fake video, it becomes very hard to detect. The best way to judge is to check the source, the motive, and whether you trust the person who shared it.

      I don’t want to be entertained by AI.

      I guess the only solution is to avoid the shitified platforms?

        Smaller content creators with fewer views are generally more genuine.

        If I see someone with several thousand views, I’m instantly skeptical. If their channel is part of their work, I pay attention too. I’m fine with AI assisted content as long as there’s an actual human behind the keyboard who truly took time to think and used their brain.

          Yes — agreed. And I especially like these when the creator isn’t spreading disinformation or nonsense.
