11. Don't be surprised if there are soon AI copies of those channels by real people you trust. Much as I hate

to think of it.

I was just on YouTube looking at a reggae song that had been posted in Music Appreciation. One of the YouTube recommendations only a couple of videos below was a channel for AI slop videos of Gregorian chant, over a hundred AI videos posted since November, roughly one every two days. AI-generated fake Gregorian chant, AI video of monks singing in preposterous AI cathedrals, video lengths from half an hour to 2-1/2 hours. Latin lyrics. No idea how accurate the Latin is, or what it's saying.

Some - not all - of the video descriptions admit they're AI, but a lot of people never read the video descriptions. These should all have banners across the thumbnail saying they're AI.

Some nitwit thought the world needed AI Gregorian chants.
