This has been done to me. I run invite-only livestream painting tutorials (on another platform). Someone, a member who I wasn't (yet?) able to identify, started putting my tutorials with another face and a different room in the background on their YT channel and further used computer-generated views and likes. Since I don't do tutorials on YT I now start all my streams with a canvas that has the words "If you are seeing this on any platform other than [redacted because YT will no doubt take it down if I name it here] it is FAKE". I doubt their AI can airbrush that out and still show my fake-face doppelganger doing the actual painting. At least that's my hope. If they find a way round it I will have to interject in the streams every few minutes to say something like "By the way there are no ads in my shows and no editing, it's all live including the chat, so if you see an ad or the picture suddenly jumps, you're looking at a bootleg video, probably with someone else's face on it", but I really don't want to have to do that because my students pay a membership fee to watch and listen to me painting, they don't pay to listen to me complaining about fraud.

If you can suss out what service or software he uses, you could tweak your watermarks to trigger the most bizarre failure modes of the "AI".

Taylor Swift is a singing lyricist, not a musician, even though she could probably pass some basic music theory tests, like millions of people can. I'm not denying there were notable musicians from the 50s-90s, Queen, Dylan, Jackson. Hans Zimmer is a musician even though he sits at a computer and composes film music. I would still argue that a singer is not a musician unless they are creating the melodies and harmonies written in musical notation according to music theory.

Good job on this, Stallone! People have been using other's content for some time and often not giving credit. Nothing has been done about that yet. There's also been AI content being passed off as real. Often, people spot it, but I've seen AI content where I'm the only one that notices. People are cluelessly saying things like "that's beautiful, where is this?" or "That 90 year old lady shreds on the guitar!" Innocent enough, though, but if asked to disclose if it's AI, people should definitely disclose. But, some people are dishonest and won't. Superimposing like this, however, is a whole new level unless it's approved by the film owner or sold/licensed to the AI app for use. There are too many gullible people, so it's easy to pass off fake things as real. The ones that bother me are disinformation, especially ones to create fear or that has to do with medical/health info.

While some of this is illegal, if they were to use say two works to train the AI on, it would be completely distinct from both. The fact is AI learning is modelled on human learning, so you'd have to ban humans from learning from these public works too somehow. It'd be nice to prevent AI replacing the majority of human art.

I hate AI as much as the next guy. But I think another more subtle factor at play here is that we've been accustomed to "If it's a computer, you sign away all legal rights". It's been that way since the 90s. "By clicking 'I agree' , I give up my right to sue". Maybe it's time to reverse that? If you do the same thing (impersonate another human or represent yourself as another business) in the real world, you will get sued in your local jurisdiction. But we're all just resigned to the fact that it's just not possible with a tech company. Well, that can be changed: state and local governments could step in and allow regular citizens to file small claims or "petty" ($10k-100k) lawsuits against youtube, ticktock, and any other major site. If the site doesn't consent to letting you have a right to sue, then the state revokes the right of the tech company to do business in their state. That doesn't have to be limited to censorship (I know the internet is notoriously difficult to block), but the states could (individually) make it illegal to buy advertising from Google, or pay for any google products, as a resident of their state.

Ken Tamplin’s actively trying to get his face on David Coverdale’s body in Whitesnake videos.

[@ricknorris1466]

😂😂😂 I hate using emojis but I couldn’t resist. 😂😂😂

[@giuseppecapelli8328]

But he won't succeed because he can't resist using his tongue like a stick in the center of his mouth.😂

[@mindtorquemusic]

He can't even mine well. I'm much better, cause I'm more of a soul singer😂😂​@@giuseppecapelli8328

[@DanielThureskog]

Ken Tamplin is getting desperate, when he's getting inspired by David's button-up shirt nipples exposé. 😂

6:46 The tattoo on that girls leg is slithering around lol. Anybody who thinks this is real is not very bright.

[@cindi1313]

Yes! I love that live action tattoo!

[@giuseppecapelli8328]

Yes Steve Lukather has really changed a lot. I forgot about the tattoo.

[@kevinjanosik2604]

Her name is Larissa Liveir, real girl, real tattoo but different face from AI video. 3.22 million subs on her youtube channel

[@niveketihw1897]

Didn't notice at first. And when AI is really good, if you're not ready for it you can be fooled. On another note, I've seen some cool sci-fi movies with animated tattoos so maybe that's not too far off either.

[@kevinjanosik2604]

@@niveketihw1897 Luckily we can tell what's an AI as for now but we won't in the future as they get better if nothing's done against these scams. I felt sorry for this girl when I saw this, I follow her on Instagram and recognised her because of that tattoo

[@retohorler9921]

KZbin should finally do something about this scam. These people steal music from artists, then make an AI video and make money from it. KZbin should give the revenue from such videos to the artists whose music was stolen, not to scammers.

3:15 dots and pickups? Her frickin HAND is stretching like rubber and disappearing!

[@fannyingabout]

No one will AI my face as it's like a bulldog chewing a wasp. Lol😂

[@fnaaijkens69]

believe me, a good basis for art. 😂😊

[@doghous3]

i've already told my family that you can't trust what you see on a screen anymore. some of the stuff that's out there now is wild.

[@Teacherman1955]

One problem I can foresee with AI is in the field of law and justice. Picture this. A man is being tried for a bank robbery in which a bystander is shot dead. Someone who has a grudge against the defendant, creates a video, using AI, where the defendant's likeness is inserted, and is shown robbing the bank and shooting the bystander. They present it as having come from a surveillance camera. AI has gotten so advanced that it is extremely difficult to determine whether or not the video is authentic! This defendant could plausibly be convicted of a crime he has no knowledge about or connection with! This is just one example where AI is maliciously used against someone, I'm sure there are many others, limited only by one's imagination and creativity.

[@mjemigh3304]

Oh, jeez......you're onto something here. It won't happen soon, but I'm sure there are those working on it. Those people in prison have computers and plenty of time on their hands, after all.

[@Gotwired]

Just make an AI alibi video and you're good.

[@glenjones6980]

When you see some of the artists impressions of a criminal on some of the old crime stopper shows and realise a conviction was made I'm going out on a limb here and saying the basic cartoon AI app would be ample for framing someone.

[@tonyduncan9852]

Write the story immediately.

[@neoczy3249]

Video and pictures are already not a judicial proof in front of any court in the USA...don't know in the UK... Soon will be harder and harder for witnesses to prove their said as any document pr source can be so easily falsified....politicians we love this and spread thousand of fake news manipulating people in their favor...futur is already doomed

[@kebjenkins]

I have reported loads of channels that are mimicking real artists channels, then uploading fake AI music videos with official on the thumbnails, so far KZbin have done nothing.

[@Heightsomethinghuman]

Oh no! Don’t stop, keep fighting! It will become more reported as Fil makes us aware of it.

[@anthonysaunders345]

There are some people who like AI-generated people as long as their good-looking. When something new comes out, it gets a lot of attention through sheer novelty. For me, I'm watching these clips mesmerized by the strange artificiality of it, but once the novelty wears off I'm sure I'd get bored of watching these "products". Professionally I do architecture and interior design, but one of my side hobbies is oil and acrylic on canvas. For about the past ten years I've been seriously considering using my drawing tablet to create art in Photoshop and similar programs. Then about a year ago I opted instead to learn watercolour, and I'm glad I did. AI and digital art in general has been cheapened, whereas I've noticed that people hold my watercolours on 300lb watercolour paper as if they're priceless antiques. The Japanese have a term in art and craftsmanship called wabi-sabe, "perfection in imperfection", and only humans can do it. If an AI tried to do it it would be a vulgar display of tastelessness trying to mimic it. Why are things more expensive than others? A large part of it has to do with rarity. AI art is a dime a dozen now, whereas art produced by a skilled human hand is rare. This applies to videos and music, too. There's a growing backlash against CGI, and a growing backlash against Protools. AI can't match creations of human origin, because it has no human taste, no originality, and no agency or emotions; it doesn't understand what it's creating, it's just synthesizing others' superior work. Sorry about the rant, but this is something I have been following very closely to see how it affects what I do for work and pleasure.

[@rexertek]

3:20 "...so if you're looking at the guitar" 😄

[@checkedoff]

Yes, the videos are designed to showcase the "guitar"

[@SandraBonney]

KZbin would be making money off it, so nope, nothing to see here. However much they might pretend to be ethical
