29. I didn't see it, and I've noticed those labels before. And other deepfakes of famous people have appeared

here without the altered content label. No one who replied earlier had mentioned seeing it, either. I didn't see it last night, when the video was called to my attention, or when I looked at it again before replying this morning, and I clicked on the video more than once in the OP. Didn't see the synthetic content label till after my own reply was there.

So I know YouTube isn't labeling all of them. They probably expect the YouTube user to label them.

FarPoint is complaining directly to YouTube and leaving the OP there for that reason, to show the confusion and harm caused. I told her earlier that she SHOULD leave the video there for that reason.

Thanks for alerting people to this. But since the deepfake is still here, I posted a long explanation in reply 9. highplainsdem Saturday #13
I thought so bucolic_frolic Saturday #26
Don't share it. It's an AI deepfake, as I explain in reply 9. highplainsdem Saturday #12
FarPoint, that is not only a fake, but the YouTuber ADMITS it's fake. Please see the disclaimers in highplainsdem Saturday #9
Oh for Chrissake! FarPoint Saturday #16
I'm so sorry the AI companies have made this kind of fraud not only possible, but easy. It's one of highplainsdem Saturday #20
I hate this, too! SheltieLover Saturday #21
I've added a reply/update about this thread and that YouTube channel to my Community Help thread on deepfakes. highplainsdem Saturday #14
Just noticed the video now has an "Altered or synthetic content" label on it that wasn't on it earlier, but highplainsdem Saturday #15
OMG... FarPoint Saturday #17
That label wasn't there earlier. The YouTuber most likely saw responses - mine or others - identifying highplainsdem Saturday #18
As a victim.... FarPoint Saturday #19
It should be reported. Unfortunately, YouTube actively encourages their users to use AI tools. So you highplainsdem Saturday #23
I am just going to stick with the regulars like FarPoint Saturday #24
That's safest. And there's actually an app now to block you from seeing internet content after 2023, highplainsdem Saturday #27
YouTube shouldn't allow deepfakes like this at all. Intractable Saturday #22
I agree. But since it can be hard to identify deepfakes, I wouldn't want alerts or posts being hidden, as with highplainsdem Saturday #25
Ummm. It's obvious Farpoint doesn't care. Intractable Saturday #28
I didn't see it, and I've noticed those labels before. And other deepfakes of famous people have appeared highplainsdem Saturday #29
I see. So you wish to cause more confusion to point out the confusion. Intractable Saturday #30
I'm not trying to cause confusion. I'm explaining that I didn't see any synthetic-content label there highplainsdem Saturday #31
Look at the thread overall to see the confusion you cause. Intractable Saturday #32
And yet you post in it. niyad Saturday #36
No, it did not when I first saw it on youtube. The alert was added later, niyad Saturday #33
Thank you. highplainsdem Saturday #34
Precisely! SheltieLover Saturday #35
Thanks! highplainsdem Saturday #37
Yw. Facts were clearly stated above. SheltieLover Saturday #38
