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:

    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.
