63. Fake, and it's labeled "Altered or synthetic content" on the video thumbnail, and the YouTube channel

description has a disclaimer making it clear it isn't George Conway.

But despite the label/disclaimer, this sort of AI puppetry using photorealistic AI should be banned anyway. It's clear from YouTube comments that it deceives a lot of people, and the intent is to deceive.

That YouTuber is using George Conway's AI-generated image to get clicks and sell viewpoints, and it's just as objectionable as it would be if they used his likeness to sell a physical product.
