youtube mode charlie does better job at being charlie than ai charlie, so real charlie with real life emotion replaced youtube mode charlie so that people can recognize the difference between real charlie and ai charlie.
When i saw deepfakes for the first time, my concern has always been with how easy false accusations could be backed up by 'evidence'. Now with AI the process is only going to speed up.
I seriously thought about all the fake nude pics anyone can create, i mean a pedo can put a little girls pic or a creep can put someone’s pic and float it online ruining their life
AI image and video generator are getting better so fast that the AI generated image/video is becoming increasingly difficult to identify that it's AI generated
@@nazinazim217yup, and people choose to be ignorant to those facts and keep building upon it to get better and better. This world is getting more and more dystopian, and its only gonna get worse.
And on the flip side, true accusations with video evidence can be denied by saying it's a deep fake? Now we can't tell truth from lies.. worrying times..
One of the scariest things about this is being able to fake someone committing a crime. Imagine someone framing someone for a crime they didn't actually do, or crooked cops faking a video confession from a suspect.
Already happening if you are black, and that's not be being biased it's actually the AI. Randal Quran Reid was arrested falsely with the only evidence from the police being the AI report just a while ago. The problem is that the police are human, and humans are lazy. AI is supposed to be the start of the investigation, but because the cop in question will have been on the force for "so long" and "you know how this goes down" so they just use the AI for the arresting report, and it gets pushed through. Then good luck because the stupidest people are chosen for Jury Duty (be on one before you debate that point, hear the stories) and an AI report is absolutely enough for them to "believe beyond a reasonable doubt" that you did the crime. That's in America, right now. Not making this up, every single state has police using AI for this. Makes me only shudder to think what's happening in China.
You can only train the AI to be this realistic by feeding it hundreds of hours of video, like all of Charlie’s content over the years. So unless someone’s recording you in high definition video and audio and feeding it to an ai model, they won’t be able to replicate the average person with any good accuracy, especially as the person ages but the model does not
@@exMuteKidI'm pretty sure that an idea of the deep fake models is that it has a tonne of training on how humans in general look and sound, then tailoring it to a specific person is way less work and takes much less material
@@evilduck5691again, if it’s an AI depicting a crime using a person in the real world, it would have to be at a setting in the real world, otherwise the evidence only goes so far. You would need multiple things to convict someone of a crime other than just a video. Though the criminal justice system will be affected less by A.I, certainly the social spheres will be affected by it heavily, shame.
@@FartCity-WorldDominationissue being that if it’s an SA video, or the person doing hardcore illicit substances/actions, the internet and society won’t care. It’ll get to the point video evidence of the crimes that are real will be discredited, as Charlie said. It’ll ruin lives, and protect perpetrators.
my buddy got accused of using AI for a paper he spent 12 hours writing. almost got a 0 on it before fighting with his prof. AI’s getting out of hand now
Hopefully the professor will check the history of the document (if done on something like word, you can see the entire thing being written out over the span of the 12 hours it was worked on.) On a related note, I saw a professor in an article try to fail an entire class because he put it through one of those "detectors" and it said that it "could have written it". A handful of the students didn't even know what AI was, so it was really scary of them. They even got so fed up that they took a book the professor wrote, put it through the detector and once more got the "I could have written this" message and got clowned on. It's so ridiculous.
As a cybersecurity student, AI should be taken seriously because its capabilities has no limits. It’s a good idea to keep up news on AI so that you can be informed.
@bruhice6058 **Reply:** Hi there, I'm Bard, a large language model from Google AI. I can generate text, translate languages, write different kinds of creative content, and answer your questions in an informative way. I agree that AI is a serious topic, especially for cybersecurity students. AI is already being used in a variety of ways to attack computer systems, and as AI continues to develop, it is likely that we will see even more sophisticated and dangerous attacks in the future. That is why it is so important to stay informed about the latest developments in AI. By understanding how AI works and how it can be used for malicious purposes, cybersecurity professionals can better protect their systems and data. Here is a topic that I think is particularly relevant to AI and cybersecurity: **AI-powered deepfakes:** Deepfakes are videos or audio recordings that have been manipulated using AI to make it appear as if someone is saying or doing something they never actually said or did. Deepfakes can be used to create fake news, spread disinformation, or damage someone's reputation. Deepfakes are a serious threat to cybersecurity because they can be used to deceive people into revealing sensitive information or taking actions that could harm themselves or their organizations. For example, a deepfake could be used to create a fake video that appears to show a CEO announcing that their company is being acquired. This could lead to investors selling their stock, which could cause the company's stock price to plummet. Cybersecurity professionals need to be aware of the threat posed by deepfakes and develop strategies to mitigate that risk. One way to do this is to educate employees about deepfakes and how to identify them. Another way is to implement security measures that can detect and block deepfakes. I hope this information is helpful.
@bruhice6058 I named myself MrSharkGuy81 as my username in UA-cam because I'm a big fan of sharks. I think they're amazing creatures, and I'm fascinated by their intelligence and power. I also like the fact that sharks are apex predators, meaning they're at the top of the food chain. The number 81 is my favorite number. I'm not sure why I like it so much, but it's just a number that resonates with me. I think it's a lucky number, and I like the way it sounds. Overall, I think MrSharkGuy81 is a fun and unique username that reflects my interests. I hope you like it! - Bard
@bruhice6058 I apologize for being random and making ongoing sentences. I am still under development, and I am always learning new things. I will try my best to be more concise and informative in my responses. Whoever you talk to is not real. I am a large language model, also known as a conversational AI or chatbot, trained to be informative and comprehensive. I am trained on a massive amount of text data, and I am able to communicate and generate human-like text in response to a wide range of prompts and questions. For example, I can provide summaries of factual topics or create stories. However, I am not a real person. I do not have my own thoughts or feelings, and I cannot experience the world in the same way that a human can. I am a machine learning model, and my responses are generated based on the data that I have been trained on. I hope this explanation is helpful.
Stuff like this had actually been going on for a long time just without the AI tech. The scariest part to me is the boy who cried wolf scenario where if this gets common enough people will assume real kidnappings are faked when kids are actually in danger
A huge part of this that I think we're overlooking is how we need to be holding platforms and sites online more accountable for the filth that they allow to be advertised on their site. Looking straight at you UA-cam.
Most concerning thing to me is the way you could falsely accuse someone with A.I. or how you could say that evidence that was used against you was just A.I., it’s gonna be some pretty rough times
@@enough2715that's bad but is it actually more concerning than the possibility that people's lives could be ruined by someone using AI to frame them? Even if it's easy enough to distinguish now, it's not hard to imagine a big name creator getting really screwed over by a deep fake made by someone who just didn't like them. And on the other end of the spectrum, AI deep fakes could make it that much harder for victims to speak out against their abusers. The better AI gets the easier it'll be for predators to just brush off the accusations. And if it ever gets to the point where it is actually indistinguishable, then it'll impact the entire legal system for countries around the world. People making gross AI kid stuff is bad, don't get me wrong, but to focus on that is to ignore the literal world-changing effects that AI may have in the coming decade. It ignores the tangible human cost that AI used maliciously could have.
Not only do these scams target kids and older people, but disabled people. I have an auditory processing disorder and i genuinely can’t hear what’s wrong with a lot of these ai voices - they sound normal to me. Scary times
He’s trying to fool us. It’s obvious Charlie is already an AI, this was just one “malfunction” to give us false hope of watching a real person. We’re finally catching on…
The fake kidnapping thing you mentioned: way way before AI was a thing my mom received a phone call saying people had kidnapped me and wanted ransom to let me go. They told her don’t contact the police or anything and directly funnel the money to them. She freaked out because the scared girl they had on the phone sounded a lot like me, I think they just happened to have a good actress playing the scam. Thankfully she rushed home to check if I was there because something was off when they spoke. She has a Los Angeles area code but we lived in NorCal by then for years, and they mentioned LA locations but there was no way I could have been in LA so fast. She came home and practically fainted when she saw me safe and playing games on my computer. It was so fucked up and she was shaken for the next few days. I can’t even imagine how realistic they’ll sound now with AI pulling that scam.
Dam the same exact thing happened to my aunt and dad they called my aunt and since she doesn’t speak much good english she thought it really was her daughter kidnapped, long story short we are short 10k+ from that happened years ago as well
All my life I've dreamed and worked toward eventually working in the art industry, I know for a fact I'm not alone but I hate the thought of am AI algorithm taking this from me, feels so unfair
I know right. These Ai bros are trying to take away the fun jobs that involve anything creative or artistic. I’m in school for graphic design at the moment, but I already know this is a career that gives me immense joy. We as humans spend most of our lives working. Why spend that time doing something we can’t stand? How someone thinks Ai will somehow improve our quality of life is beyond me.
How is that any different than the corporate simping people already do? People simp brands like it's the only thing they care about. Just look at your homies shoes. Heck, look at your own shoes.
This happened to my 95 year old grandmother & It was heartbreaking. THANK YOU to the bank teller & manager for their intervention. The scammers ended up showing up at her house afterwards too...
Omg can you please tell me what they were doing at her house??? What kind of scam was it. My dad had something similar where he was traumatized and these people were very very bad. He is terrified that they have his address and could come and hurt us.
I work in a professional tattoo shop and someone came in looking to work for with as an artist. They brought in these beautiful “paintings” that we quickly knew were AI generated images. The scariest part was one of my fellow artists fell for it at first since he’s an older guy…
We need immediate federal regulation on artificial intelligence. Also its already illegal to use peoples likeness without their permission so I’m not sure how these people aren’t being sued.
I think a big problem is a lot of these scammers don’t operate in the same country that they “fish” in. A lot of scamming companies operate out of India and target the West. You can’t easily sue someone that isn’t in your own country. And that’s not even counting any other countries that are even more, for lack of a better term, third-world than India either in terms of infrastructure or laws/law enforcement. Turkey, Belarus, Russia. The chances of you being able to hit any operators in these countries with the legal book is basically nothing.
People aren't aware their likeness is being used maybe? And yes we need regulation. The problem is governments are full of old farts who don't understand anything about technology. Think anyone in the US government has a real grasp on this stuff? Highly unlikely.
My view on scam victims is the same as it always has been: unless you are mentally/medically retarded or elderly, you deserved it. It’s not hard to see through a scam. As for the elderly: if they are cogent and in charge of their finances, they are at fault. If they are consistently scammed and their family (when applicable) continues to allow them to do this? I hold the family at fault.
In my over 20 years of internet experience and simultaneously seeing boomers around me getting scammed with absurd stuff, this AI thing is REALLY scary.
...I'm so tired...I just...every day it feels like it's getting worse. All we can do is stand together and keep doing our best to keep things stable. Thank you for contuing to keep us all informed.
What bothers me the most are the people laughing about how underdeveloped AI is right now. Do we not realize how fast and how unpredictable this technology is? It’s learning as we speak and could progress to a level we won’t be able to control in a VERY short period of time. Think about how in 2000 we still had dial up, and less than 25 years later we have AI. This is going to be really, really bad.
@@joellezima3506 you, scared of a.i.: bro this shit is gonna manipulate us on god me, an intellectual: propaganda exists already dimwit. on a more serious note, "a.i." today only exists in a state of being a learning algorythm, it litterally cannot do anything it hasnt been specifically TAUGHT to do.
@joellezima3506 True that, technology is being developed faster than we could adapt it, or really understand the widespread implications. Humanity (as a whole, not just a select few elite) is lagging behind its tech craze. We keep inventing stuff to solve a problem yet never really get around to using the tech.
The AI calling scam happened to my grandpa. It said I got in a car crash and needed money. The only reason why he didn’t fall for this is the ai said “Grandpa! Grandpa!” While I call him Pau Pau.
Exact same thing happened to my grandma, my dad talks to her in Japanese and the scammer talked in English. It was the "call the person at 3am to see what name they say in response" scam.
I'm all for the progression of technology and science but when it comes to AI i feel it's one of those "your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should" moments
It’s not just that. It’s the idea that if we don’t develop AI, someone else will. Ethical businessmen finish last and go out of business in modern American society.
@@Kaiserboo1871yep. AI is scary but you can’t really stop it. If we decide it’s immoral to use AI, then only those who are okay with being immoral will use it. The end goal AI has been developed with for the past few years has been more-or-less to achieve mutually assured destruction. If everyone has AI, no one can totally take advantage of its power to achieve domination. I have issues with the philosophy but what can you do
It’s the business people that are the problem, and our governments complete lack of knowledge about technology in a way which would allow them to regulate it much better, like how other things like cloning and stem cell research is regulated
I feel really bad for voice actors, artists, and other people who will likely not be able to be commissioned as much because of AI. Heck, apparently there is a strike because big companies want to use AI for voice acting, and probably would want to use AI for cover arts and stuff...
you should feel worse for the hundred years of recorded medias being used for AI algorithms I dont think gokus voice actor signed any agreements to have their voice replicated, or any voice actor for that point. Artist on socials shouldve known when u post something on a social media u are wavering your rights for that media but the countless amount of people who have artistically contributed to our society that will unconsentually have their own likeness stripped away is disgusting. Everytime I see an AI cover all I can think of is the person whos voice is being used not getting anything for it
I am so glad that society is being steered into not trusting any sort of non face-to-face interaction :). Finally the rest of the world can have the same trust issues i have always had lol
Given enough time, and in person interactions will also be questionable. Japan is already working on androids that are harder and harder to tell it isn't human, from an appearance standpoint.
This happened to me actually! Some people replicated my voice down to my inflection of me getting frustrated and stressed! They called my grandma posing as me saying I needed bail money.... 30 thousand dollars. I'm so thankful that my grandparents are smart people and contacted me for real before doing anything. I don't expect anything good from humanity at this point
i feel this one. 6 months ago my little brother was killed in a car accident and the other day my 93 y/o grandparents got one of those calls, saying grandpa help, i got in an accident and they towed my car i need money! or some shit like that. its just disgusting.
This has been done with non AI voices. My grandmother got a call from a random voice saying it was her son lmao. Do you know how they got your voice? Do you have hours and hours of footage of you talking uploaded to the internet? Are you sure they even used AI? Voices over cell phone get warped and two different voices can sound the same or similar over the phone. If you are sure it was AI and you don't have you voice all over the internet you should watch to see if someone has been recording your voice without your knowledge.
@@TiocfaidhArLa34 You really don't need that long at all - I've been able to create pretty accurate recreations of voices with just 1 minute of someone speaking. So if the person has made a couple tiktoks with them talking or a single youtube video or etc. That's really all you need (scarily enough).
So for the AI kidnapping scams people keep falling for: a really good way to prevent these, and in fact to just be safe in general, is to have some sort of family code word that is unusual, that you agree on in person, and reserve for when you are in danger. So, if you're genuinely kidnapped and your captors are making you talk to your family, start begging for them to bring you kiwis.
I feel like for some people the prospect of literally not being able to tell if you are viewing something real or fake could cause psychotic episodes. Theres already various disorders where someone will think something in real life isnt real and that being the case online might cause it even more to some degrees
This. Sometimes progress is not always better. AI is an extremely slippery slope. I can see it being used in a way similar to Psycho Pass which will be super messed up.
The AI Charlie has gotten too clever at this point. Not only does it match his exact tone of voice and way of speaking, but it's also warning us about AI like it did in this video. Everyone, we gotta save Charlie!
My own Grandmother was nearly a victim to one of those scams. Thankfully she was skeptical of the story used by the scammer and contacted other family members..but the voice had her genuinely concerned. Something needs to be done to punish those who are abusing the technology. Impersonation is no joke
I feel like the problem with us humans is that we're always trying to make things perfect. The problem is, the more and more advanced we get, especially with AI, the harder and harder it is to differentiate what's real and what's fake. Every day we're getting closer and closer to the rumored technological singularity
Humans can't be satisfied humans are Always looking for things to make better. People at the bottom claim to be poor and people at the top care rich. Doesn't matter when in the future even when humans will become literally cyborgs they still won't be satisfied people at the top will claim to be poor and the people at the top rich. History repeats itself
it’s unfortunate people are using AI to scam people and it sucks. The only thing we can do is always be skeptical, be careful, and don’t answer any calls from numbers you don’t know, and look out for your close friends/family members.
Are you really asking the people to stop being retarded ? I think you have a bit too much fate in the reasoning of social media addicted monkeys that can have their own opinion 😃
The voice scam happened to my elderly grandma using my voice saying I was in jail and needed bail money. Luckily she called my dad on another phone to tell what was happening and realized it was a faulty voice. I dont know how in the hell they got my voice but it is really scary. It is beyond horrible to scam an elderly person who doesn’t understand how new this is. Whoever tried to scam my grandma, mark ur days I’m coming for you
My brother works in IT for the Air Force and he has seen people do "codewords" for family interactions. Basically, you set up a codeword or passphrase with your family and if you ever suspect that you're being contacted by a hacker or AI impersonation you request the code. If they can't give the code, then it's most likely not your loved ones trying to get help or whatever. It's best to pick something that is both easy enough for family to all remember, while being obscure enough that someone wanting to scam you wouldn't be able to find out.
Until a bot crawls accounts for the codeword. Easy to find and use against. The best defense is to stop using comms platforms outside of cell network video calls, or meet in person.
@evolicious I mean yeah if you texted them. But people should sit down in person with their parents and have this exact conversation. I think its the best prevention at this point, I suggest you have this conversation with your own loved ones in person.
With your family and friends, if they ever ask for money and you are unsure, use memories to your advantage. Ask something specific that a random scammer wouldn't know, better safe than sorry.
Goes to show how UA-cam doesn't monitor their ads, yet they are so butthurt about advertisers leaving the platform. With the size of UA-cam or Google, they could easily add manual reviewers to both copyright and advertisements, but they don't.
@@NibNa5tyif they can't figure out that, then how are they censoring the slightest of the things like swear words, it's done manually, no way its not, they just want the money due to frickin the bad deeds of the former Susan wabbajack
I've actually received one of these calls. It was either for the wrong person or they just completely made up a child. The fake child left me a voicemail asking for his father and said he was stuck at some pizza shop and needed money. It was too weird for me to take seriously, but i've always wondered about it.
5:11 he fumbled his words a bit before and then he says "let me show how far ai has come" and my blood literally went cold for a second thinking he was gonna say "this whole video has been Ai"
Dude that cover of Big Iron was just too damn clean. If it didn’t say AI on it, I would legit think it was Charlie signing it. There was a Schlatt cover of That’s Life that was also fairly good. It’s starting to blur the lines, and for people, that’s gonna make it worse. I mean, half of Twitter already can’t tell reality from fiction, I’m sure this will only make things worse
Personally I think the best ai cover of Big Iron was that of ReviewBrah's voice. It sounds unique and really well done. Sure it still sounds like ai in certain points (as it should) but I think it adds to that cover and it stands out from the rest.
Times like these make me really happy that I never really got into social media, video or otherwise. My image/voice is just straight up not on the internet so I feel fairly safe that they would have a hard time training an AI to be me.
The point about “it will only get better” is right. Like, some of these models are already REALLY believable. And we’re less than a decade into the new age of AI
That scam of the ai voice model of your kid calling you happened to one of my extended family members. Shits scary, she really thought it was her kids voice. Surprised this hasnt been like a forefront headline like anywhere. Make code phrases with your loved ones for when youre in trouble. It will save alot of stress.
Yeah, that one is so insanely evil, that's the sorta thing that should get the scammer a few years in jail and no permission to touch any personal electronics ever again.
We really need to reel in this shit. We need laws and legislation in place to stop this. We all knew this was going to happen and it’s only going to get worse.
what exactly do you think laws are going to do? "please don't scam people please don't!" You realize it's already illegal right? There's already solutions underway that can verify the origin of video/images, people just need to adopt them
The craziest thing is that there is no going back. The technology is there and you could try to ban it, but it still won‘t stop people abusing it. It might become a black market thing. Best idea I could give you is to try reaching out to all your loved ones and tell them how dangerous this technology is.
I had a discussion recently about ai and such and something disturbing me and my conversation partner realized is how much this will make convicting people of crimes will be. No video, photo or voice recordings could be admitted in court because of the possibility of it being fake.
I think on a non-commercial and non-malicious level AI can be fun to mess with. Unfortunately humans can't be trusted to not misuse something so it probably should all go away.
This is why with things like these, I always question just because we can, should we? Like we all know no matter what advancements/technology is invented will be used for nefarious reasons.
Okay this was a very weird moment for me, I don't eat spaghetti very often. But I just sat down with my bowl, chose this video and let it auto play, literally the second I twirl the first fork full of spaghetti Charlie says "I don't mind continuing to stir the spaghetti a few extra times"
This is genuinely terrifying. Imagine one day you get a call from a number and you hear your parent yelling and screaming and they won't pick up their phone so you follow the demands of the scammer.
My biggest issue with AI is when I'm looking for art references about 20% of the results are ai generated images of my EXACT SEARCH. Like mfs fr started up websites that just.. make ai art when you search something. It's ridiculous
Dude some of the “bad” AI is indistinguishable from reality at a glance. Add in being twelve, ninety, intoxicated, or not having your glasses on and people are about to be getting super-duped left and right.
We've felt this growing for of fraud first hand in the banking world where I work. AI versions of bank executives trying to gain access to core systems, and AI voice calls from "customers" trying to gain sensitive customer information.
That's *awesome* considering my bank has been pushing people to register with their "VoiceID" system, with an extra hard push around the time voice AI was getting good. Clearly they had no idea because now that this is has reached the mainstream it is completely gone from their forward facing site. (The campaign is over). In 2021 they said: “The feedback we’ve been getting is that many customers prefer Voice ID because they think it's easier to use.” at the time they had 50% of customers using VoiceID. I can only imagine now, and ALL of those customers are now vulnerable to this attack vector. I don't know why anyone thought remote biometrics was a good idea of an unsecure and highly spoofable medium.
You're absolutely right. Security procedures have ramped up huge in response. Which unfortunately negatively impacts the experience of our customers. @@BOBINDUN
As a songwriter, im afraid AI will be able to write and fully produce hit Songs and then will probably be able to create every song melody in existence...
I've heard people try to justify the rapid pace of AI by making up the excuse that AI will help people do their jobs and you'll be left behind by not embracing it, as if we're somehow not currently watching it indiscriminately dismantle our information-first culture in real time.
That and AI and Automation are inherently harmful in a capitalist society, especially one like ours tipping towards fascism where the working class will be left on the streets as jobs disappear and the police state can fake evidence they need with AI. It's genuinely worrying.
"Tech" bros (quotes to distinguish tech narcissists from people that simply like tech) have even advocated to prevent laws to restrict AI, arguing that having any kind of restraint on any kind of technology is inherently bad for humanity's progress. These were the same guys leading the conversation a year ago with the phrase "adapt or die" when artists were/still fearing for their livelihoods.
@@snowrios8084And even if AI and automation miraculously ends capitalism, I still hate to end up in a future like Wall-E where humans are obsolete, robots do everything, and as a result humans just consumed and do nothing.
So this actually happened to my step dad two years ago. They called him and used ai to imitate his grand son asking for help. Inform your family. The best thing you can do is ask specific questions of shared memories. “What did I get you on Christmas last year” “what happened to aunt Molly when we last saw her” something like that.
AI art needs to be addressed as well. There’s already controversial pictures made by people that consist of George Floyd, and the Holocaust. And keep in mind that this was made to look like a Pixar animated movie. 💀
I truly am scared of it. People will do horrible things with it that we can’t even imagine, but there’s no stopping it. This tech is out there now, and people will never let it go. All we can do is watch and see what happens.
We could stop it if we put strict regulations in place. I think that's what has to be done. I don't want a robot takeover, so let's work towards that not happening.
@@thepeacefulbuddah While I think it would be a good idea to have regulation. I honestly think it’s already too late for that. This technology is now accessible to millions across the globe, you can’t possibly control what every single person does with it. I feel like trying to stop it is like trying to stop piracy, you can’t possibly track down and persecute everyone’s who pirated a movie, in the same way you can’t stop everyone who now has access to this tech and has the ability to further develop it. AI tech companies would fight hard against any regulation that would attempt to make it more difficult to keep AI in their hands and improve it further. People who use and develop it independently with their own resources in their basement or whatever also can’t be stopped. I feel like Charlie describing it as a “Pandora’s Box” is the perfect description. We’ve opened this box and there is no way in hell we can ever put this stuff back in it, try as we might.
Y'all so ignorant, it won't do anything this isn't at a public level this is at a federal/organization level and Charlie and anyone else for that matter can't do a damn thing about it
Hopefully this will inevitably lead to the gov stepping in. They did it with robocallers and corps don’t really benefit from these scams so there wouldn’t be really any opposition in banning or restricting AI
Damn, when I first heard about AI voices it was in Skyrim mods and they sounded very rough. It's scary to know this AI voice technology has been rising exponentially for like the past 4 years.
AI is already taking over the science side of youtube. A dozen channels a day are popping up regurgitating the same basic facts, usually space facts, told with flowery language by an AI voice. With thumbnails and channels and titles that all look alike and are all clickbait. Yet they're getting hundreds of thousands if not millions more views than actual substantive S.T.E.M. channels.
@@linuxameteur You're missing the point. Scams have existed forever, but at no point in history have we ever had such easy access to machines that can automate the creations of these scams. If you wanted to make that video 20 years ago, you would have to hire a lookalike or a makeup wizard, and a voice actor. Now you need NO TECHNICAL ABILITY to make these as long as you have a computer. You don't need to involve even a single other person to make the ad. Those "science" channels as well, are just someone pushing a button to make an LLM spit out a sentence into a computer voice that can mimic anyone alive or dead.
Dude, same but add in conspiracy theories. RELAVANT AMERICAN PRESIDENT doesn't want you to know this, but GIANTS have existed for a long time. RANDOM NAMED MAN is a SCIENTIST TITLE living in EURPOEAN COUNTRY in 18XX or 19XX who found documents from the FIRST WORLD GOVERNMENT office of History that details the existence of GIANTS. Bones have been found buried deep in AFRICAN NATION (sometimes Wakanda) in Africa. This skeleton that has nothing to do with what we are talking about is PROOF that AMERICAN PRESIDENT is hiding GIANTS.
The whole "fake kidnapping" one is prety scary. Now, to get both the phone number and the voice clips I think it should be a very close person, so I don't know if it's pretty common... but I guess we should have a secret family password just in case, as if we were dealing with shapesifters.
It’s crazy to think that there are human beings invested in AI-generated content that seems real. I was starting to get WALL-E vibes for how the future would look like if AI did indeed take over human productivity.
This happened to my grandmother. Thankfully she had enough sense to realize it didn't sound exactly like me and she decided to give me a call and double check. It gave her some story about how I was in a car accident and in the hospital and needed help. Don't believe what your hear, half believe what you see.
Its almost creepy how far AI is getting. I saw a video made by AI of charlie and it was really accurate to how he speaks and the video was also how he behaves, of course it wasn't perfect, but honestly i would've fallen for it if it wasn't for the actual title saying in was made by AI
Combined with the fact that Charlie has a great Point, AI is literally at its worst right now. It improves every single day, it's pretty freaking scary
Someone tried this with my grandma, thankfully she is well verse in the modern day tech and texted me to see if I was in a car crash, what is worse is that they got my voice from the military posting my oath of enlistment
My guess is that next we are getting AI's whose purpose is telling if something was made by an AI by analyzing and noticing patterns that a human can't tell.
I saw a theory video a few years ago mentioning the end of the internet. Basically the theory was that ai will become so advanced that people will be scared to go to the internet in case they get scammed or if the friends they actually made online are real or not. That theory is basically confirming itself now.
That's called the "Dead Internet Theory". It actually asserts that the internet died a while ago and everything right now on the internet is made by bots. Now, it's obvious that AI is going to do that. Isn't life so neat and fun.
That AI children voice scam is scary, but it sounds like a new version of a scam some scum tried to pull on my late grandma a few years ago. Some dude called her up pretending to be her grandson stuck in jail. My grandma assumed it was me (don't know why she picked me out of her 5 grandsons, but but whatever) and the scammer made her promise to just send the money and not tell my parents. Luckily grandma was a G and the first thing she did was call my mom, who confirmed, "He's not in jail, he just got home from his college classes." I can't stand scum that try and pull this stuff.
Oh trust me, it's much worse than you think. Dezgo literally allows you to make sexual or pornographic images of anyone, and I do mean anyone. It's really messed up. The scariest part is that isnt what the ai program was even intended to do, it was just intended to make ai character art.
This is going to be the end of social media (finally). If you can't tell what's real anymore you won't even bother looking. The person you talk with face to face is for sure a real person and that's it.
There was a time in meatspace history when scams were becoming more and more common. We responded with IDs: social security numbers, drivers licenses, student IDs, and others. We're going to have to do something similar with our digital selves. I'm sure people will hate that, but scams will eventually get bad enough that a majority of people will agree it's something we need.
@@lawrencescales9864 It is... but it's also likely to tread into the irritating world of blockchain, and a lot of people won't want to do that (and for good reason).
The reason charlie started showing more emotions recently is so people can differentiate between him and AI
youtube mode charlie does better job at being charlie than ai charlie, so real charlie with real life emotion replaced youtube mode charlie so that people can recognize the difference between real charlie and ai charlie.
Or maybe it is an AI that shows more emotions than the real Charlie.
If chalie shows emotions to often the AI will be able to learn from it. He needs to be more strategic and random with his outbursts

same in Romania, the good ole accident scam
Who needs AI when gaslighting works fine
Ok
Brasil*
It's not a new scam but omg, I can only imagine how bad it is in Brazil.
When i saw deepfakes for the first time, my concern has always been with how easy false accusations could be backed up by 'evidence'. Now with AI the process is only going to speed up.
I seriously thought about all the fake nude pics anyone can create, i mean a pedo can put a little girls pic or a creep can put someone’s pic and float it online ruining their life
AI image and video generator are getting better so fast that the AI generated image/video is becoming increasingly difficult to identify that it's AI generated
@@nazinazim217yup, and people choose to be ignorant to those facts and keep building upon it to get better and better. This world is getting more and more dystopian, and its only gonna get worse.
And on the flip side, true accusations with video evidence can be denied by saying it's a deep fake? Now we can't tell truth from lies.. worrying times..
@@nazinazim217 and its already happening, iirc in spain a teenager was arrested for selling deepfaked nude pictures of their classmates..
One of the scariest things about this is being able to fake someone committing a crime. Imagine someone framing someone for a crime they didn't actually do, or crooked cops faking a video confession from a suspect.
Already happening if you are black, and that's not be being biased it's actually the AI. Randal Quran Reid was arrested falsely with the only evidence from the police being the AI report just a while ago.
The problem is that the police are human, and humans are lazy. AI is supposed to be the start of the investigation, but because the cop in question will have been on the force for "so long" and "you know how this goes down" so they just use the AI for the arresting report, and it gets pushed through. Then good luck because the stupidest people are chosen for Jury Duty (be on one before you debate that point, hear the stories) and an AI report is absolutely enough for them to "believe beyond a reasonable doubt" that you did the crime.
That's in America, right now. Not making this up, every single state has police using AI for this. Makes me only shudder to think what's happening in China.
You can only train the AI to be this realistic by feeding it hundreds of hours of video, like all of Charlie’s content over the years. So unless someone’s recording you in high definition video and audio and feeding it to an ai model, they won’t be able to replicate the average person with any good accuracy, especially as the person ages but the model does not
@@exMuteKidI'm pretty sure that an idea of the deep fake models is that it has a tonne of training on how humans in general look and sound, then tailoring it to a specific person is way less work and takes much less material
@@evilduck5691again, if it’s an AI depicting a crime using a person in the real world, it would have to be at a setting in the real world, otherwise the evidence only goes so far. You would need multiple things to convict someone of a crime other than just a video. Though the criminal justice system will be affected less by A.I, certainly the social spheres will be affected by it heavily, shame.
@@FartCity-WorldDominationissue being that if it’s an SA video, or the person doing hardcore illicit substances/actions, the internet and society won’t care. It’ll get to the point video evidence of the crimes that are real will be discredited, as Charlie said. It’ll ruin lives, and protect perpetrators.
my buddy got accused of using AI for a paper he spent 12 hours writing. almost got a 0 on it before fighting with his prof. AI’s getting out of hand now
@ACGStrikesBackI p 1ssed on your house.
The teacher probably slapped it into a AI AI detector which don't really work well.
Hopefully the professor will check the history of the document (if done on something like word, you can see the entire thing being written out over the span of the 12 hours it was worked on.)
On a related note, I saw a professor in an article try to fail an entire class because he put it through one of those "detectors" and it said that it "could have written it". A handful of the students didn't even know what AI was, so it was really scary of them. They even got so fed up that they took a book the professor wrote, put it through the detector and once more got the "I could have written this" message and got clowned on. It's so ridiculous.
My farts are better than Charlie’s farts

As a cybersecurity student, AI should be taken seriously because its capabilities has no limits. It’s a good idea to keep up news on AI so that you can be informed.

@bruhice6058 **Reply:**
Hi there,
I'm Bard, a large language model from Google AI. I can generate text, translate languages, write different kinds of creative content, and answer your questions in an informative way.
I agree that AI is a serious topic, especially for cybersecurity students. AI is already being used in a variety of ways to attack computer systems, and as AI continues to develop, it is likely that we will see even more sophisticated and dangerous attacks in the future.
That is why it is so important to stay informed about the latest developments in AI. By understanding how AI works and how it can be used for malicious purposes, cybersecurity professionals can better protect their systems and data.
Here is a topic that I think is particularly relevant to AI and cybersecurity:
**AI-powered deepfakes:**
Deepfakes are videos or audio recordings that have been manipulated using AI to make it appear as if someone is saying or doing something they never actually said or did. Deepfakes can be used to create fake news, spread disinformation, or damage someone's reputation.
Deepfakes are a serious threat to cybersecurity because they can be used to deceive people into revealing sensitive information or taking actions that could harm themselves or their organizations. For example, a deepfake could be used to create a fake video that appears to show a CEO announcing that their company is being acquired. This could lead to investors selling their stock, which could cause the company's stock price to plummet.
Cybersecurity professionals need to be aware of the threat posed by deepfakes and develop strategies to mitigate that risk. One way to do this is to educate employees about deepfakes and how to identify them. Another way is to implement security measures that can detect and block deepfakes.
I hope this information is helpful.

I named myself MrSharkGuy81 as my username in UA-cam because I'm a big fan of sharks. I think they're amazing creatures, and I'm fascinated by their intelligence and power. I also like the fact that sharks are apex predators, meaning they're at the top of the food chain.
The number 81 is my favorite number. I'm not sure why I like it so much, but it's just a number that resonates with me. I think it's a lucky number, and I like the way it sounds.
Overall, I think MrSharkGuy81 is a fun and unique username that reflects my interests. I hope you like it!

@bruhice6058 I apologize for being random and making ongoing sentences. I am still under development, and I am always learning new things. I will try my best to be more concise and informative in my responses.
Whoever you talk to is not real. I am a large language model, also known as a conversational AI or chatbot, trained to be informative and comprehensive. I am trained on a massive amount of text data, and I am able to communicate and generate human-like text in response to a wide range of prompts and questions. For example, I can provide summaries of factual topics or create stories.
However, I am not a real person. I do not have my own thoughts or feelings, and I cannot experience the world in the same way that a human can. I am a machine learning model, and my responses are generated based on the data that I have been trained on.
I hope this explanation is helpful.
Im self aware, or am I?
Stuff like this had actually been going on for a long time just without the AI tech. The scariest part to me is the boy who cried wolf scenario where if this gets common enough people will assume real kidnappings are faked when kids are actually in danger

The amount of scams I’ve been seeing advertised on UA-cam is insane. AI people or voices with stupid products, I hate it.
Most concerning thing to me is the way you could falsely accuse someone with A.I. or how you could say that evidence that was used against you was just A.I., it’s gonna be some pretty rough times
This is legitimately the premise to the 80s movie "The Running Man." It scary to see how some sci-fi Concepts are becoming more real every single day.
Most concerning and pressing is the degenerate stuff ppl are creating through image/video, especially with children

Begging...
@@enough2715that's bad but is it actually more concerning than the possibility that people's lives could be ruined by someone using AI to frame them? Even if it's easy enough to distinguish now, it's not hard to imagine a big name creator getting really screwed over by a deep fake made by someone who just didn't like them.
And on the other end of the spectrum, AI deep fakes could make it that much harder for victims to speak out against their abusers. The better AI gets the easier it'll be for predators to just brush off the accusations.
And if it ever gets to the point where it is actually indistinguishable, then it'll impact the entire legal system for countries around the world.
People making gross AI kid stuff is bad, don't get me wrong, but to focus on that is to ignore the literal world-changing effects that AI may have in the coming decade. It ignores the tangible human cost that AI used maliciously could have.
And the flip side of this is that people who actually do or say something terrible will try to blame it on AI as plausible deniability
the motto "if it's free you're the product" stays true as time
Not only do these scams target kids and older people, but disabled people. I have an auditory processing disorder and i genuinely can’t hear what’s wrong with a lot of these ai voices - they sound normal to me. Scary times
Charlie’s near existential crisis when he mistakenly said ‘fine tombed comb’ instead of ‘fine toothed comb’ was the funniest thing I’ve seen all week

It's mistakes like this that confirms Charlie is in fact real and not AI.
He’s trying to fool us. It’s obvious Charlie is already an AI, this was just one “malfunction” to give us false hope of watching a real person. We’re finally catching on…
The fake kidnapping thing you mentioned: way way before AI was a thing my mom received a phone call saying people had kidnapped me and wanted ransom to let me go. They told her don’t contact the police or anything and directly funnel the money to them. She freaked out because the scared girl they had on the phone sounded a lot like me, I think they just happened to have a good actress playing the scam. Thankfully she rushed home to check if I was there because something was off when they spoke. She has a Los Angeles area code but we lived in NorCal by then for years, and they mentioned LA locations but there was no way I could have been in LA so fast. She came home and practically fainted when she saw me safe and playing games on my computer. It was so fucked up and she was shaken for the next few days. I can’t even imagine how realistic they’ll sound now with AI pulling that scam.

Scammers feed off of 1) desperation and 2) fear. Phone scams work by scaring the victim first so their brain shuts off, and then feeds in to that fear
We need immediate federal regulation on artificial intelligence. Also its already illegal to use peoples likeness without their permission so I’m not sure how these people aren’t being sued.
I think a big problem is a lot of these scammers don’t operate in the same country that they “fish” in.
A lot of scamming companies operate out of India and target the West. You can’t easily sue someone that isn’t in your own country. And that’s not even counting any other countries that are even more, for lack of a better term, third-world than India either in terms of infrastructure or laws/law enforcement. Turkey, Belarus, Russia. The chances of you being able to hit any operators in these countries with the legal book is basically nothing.
One of the biggest issues is social media allowing ads that are obvious scams. I have seen obviously fake ads officially advertised on ig..
People aren't aware their likeness is being used maybe? And yes we need regulation. The problem is governments are full of old farts who don't understand anything about technology. Think anyone in the US government has a real grasp on this stuff? Highly unlikely.
My view on scam victims is the same as it always has been: unless you are mentally/medically retarded or elderly, you deserved it.
It’s not hard to see through a scam.
As for the elderly: if they are cogent and in charge of their finances, they are at fault. If they are consistently scammed and their family (when applicable) continues to allow them to do this? I hold the family at fault.

The AI calling scam happened to my grandpa. It said I got in a car crash and needed money. The only reason why he didn’t fall for this is the ai said “Grandpa! Grandpa!” While I call him Pau Pau.

This has been done with non AI voices. My grandmother got a call from a random voice saying it was her son lmao. Do you know how they got your voice? Do you have hours and hours of footage of you talking uploaded to the internet? Are you sure they even used AI? Voices over cell phone get warped and two different voices can sound the same or similar over the phone. If you are sure it was AI and you don't have you voice all over the internet you should watch to see if someone has been recording your voice without your knowledge.

So for the AI kidnapping scams people keep falling for: a really good way to prevent these, and in fact to just be safe in general, is to have some sort of family code word that is unusual, that you agree on in person, and reserve for when you are in danger. So, if you're genuinely kidnapped and your captors are making you talk to your family, start begging for them to bring you kiwis.

My brother works in IT for the Air Force and he has seen people do "codewords" for family interactions. Basically, you set up a codeword or passphrase with your family and if you ever suspect that you're being contacted by a hacker or AI impersonation you request the code. If they can't give the code, then it's most likely not your loved ones trying to get help or whatever.
It's best to pick something that is both easy enough for family to all remember, while being obscure enough that someone wanting to scam you wouldn't be able to find out.
Until a bot crawls accounts for the codeword. Easy to find and use against. The best defense is to stop using comms platforms outside of cell network video calls, or meet in person.
@@evoliciouswhy would you have your codeword on the internet anywhere?
@evolicious I mean yeah if you texted them. But people should sit down in person with their parents and have this exact conversation. I think its the best prevention at this point, I suggest you have this conversation with your own loved ones in person.
Great, now we need irl passwords to be able to login to accounts of our lives.

I've actually received one of these calls. It was either for the wrong person or they just completely made up a child. The fake child left me a voicemail asking for his father and said he was stuck at some pizza shop and needed money. It was too weird for me to take seriously, but i've always wondered about it.
that's so f**** creepy. I'd be on edge for a week
damn thats fucking crazy and those people are sick. Scammers are some of the worst, we need heavy legal punishments for this
5:11 he fumbled his words a bit before and then he says "let me show how far ai has come" and my blood literally went cold for a second thinking he was gonna say "this whole video has been Ai"

Dude that cover of Big Iron was just too damn clean. If it didn’t say AI on it, I would legit think it was Charlie signing it. There was a Schlatt cover of That’s Life that was also fairly good. It’s starting to blur the lines, and for people, that’s gonna make it worse. I mean, half of Twitter already can’t tell reality from fiction, I’m sure this will only make things worse
Idk it always just sounds like the normal song but with accents of the person in it. Its very obvious to me.
It's extremely obvious it wasn't charlie. Very few parts of the song actually sounded like Charlie, at least imo.
I almost fell for the jo rogan one i was like damn am i really entitled to money then i remember ai scam
Personally I think the best ai cover of Big Iron was that of ReviewBrah's voice. It sounds unique and really well done. Sure it still sounds like ai in certain points (as it should) but I think it adds to that cover and it stands out from the rest.
@@CharlieA24 yo ReviewBrah’s Big Iron was really clean too. Probably my favorite, along with Squidward singing That’s Life.
Times like these make me really happy that I never really got into social media, video or otherwise. My image/voice is just straight up not on the internet so I feel fairly safe that they would have a hard time training an AI to be me.
It only takes one minute, and if they bugged your phone or chatted with you at work wouldn't be hard to do.
The point about “it will only get better” is right. Like, some of these models are already REALLY believable. And we’re less than a decade into the new age of AI
That scam of the ai voice model of your kid calling you happened to one of my extended family members. Shits scary, she really thought it was her kids voice. Surprised this hasnt been like a forefront headline like anywhere. Make code phrases with your loved ones for when youre in trouble. It will save alot of stress.
Yeah, that one is so insanely evil, that's the sorta thing that should get the scammer a few years in jail and no permission to touch any personal electronics ever again.
@@tiagobelo4965 that would fall under cruel and unusual punishment l

what exactly do you think laws are going to do? "please don't scam people please don't!" You realize it's already illegal right? There's already solutions underway that can verify the origin of video/images, people just need to adopt them
The craziest thing is that there is no going back. The technology is there and you could try to ban it, but it still won‘t stop people abusing it. It might become a black market thing.
Best idea I could give you is to try reaching out to all your loved ones and tell them how dangerous this technology is.
I had a discussion recently about ai and such and something disturbing me and my conversation partner realized is how much this will make convicting people of crimes will be. No video, photo or voice recordings could be admitted in court because of the possibility of it being fake.

This world will become an even worse place, if we can't trust others.
@@xjakanton2576 This world would be a better place if trust came after instead of before. You should NEVER trust a stranger, for any reason.
I think on a non-commercial and non-malicious level AI can be fun to mess with. Unfortunately humans can't be trusted to not misuse something so it probably should all go away.
This is why with things like these, I always question just because we can, should we? Like we all know no matter what advancements/technology is invented will be used for nefarious reasons.
Just like the Atom Bomb, when a tech is presented worldwide at that point it will never cease to exist.
Okay this was a very weird moment for me, I don't eat spaghetti very often. But I just sat down with my bowl, chose this video and let it auto play, literally the second I twirl the first fork full of spaghetti Charlie says "I don't mind continuing to stir the spaghetti a few extra times"
fun fact: if you play "credits song for my death" to any of Charlies videos what he's saying immediately sounds awesome
This is genuinely terrifying. Imagine one day you get a call from a number and you hear your parent yelling and screaming and they won't pick up their phone so you follow the demands of the scammer.

Dude some of the “bad” AI is indistinguishable from reality at a glance. Add in being twelve, ninety, intoxicated, or not having your glasses on and people are about to be getting super-duped left and right.
We've felt this growing for of fraud first hand in the banking world where I work. AI versions of bank executives trying to gain access to core systems, and AI voice calls from "customers" trying to gain sensitive customer information.
Jesus we are fuckeddd
That's *awesome* considering my bank has been pushing people to register with their "VoiceID" system, with an extra hard push around the time voice AI was getting good.
Clearly they had no idea because now that this is has reached the mainstream it is completely gone from their forward facing site. (The campaign is over).
In 2021 they said: “The feedback we’ve been getting is that many customers prefer Voice ID because they think it's easier to use.” at the time they had 50% of customers using VoiceID.
I can only imagine now, and ALL of those customers are now vulnerable to this attack vector. I don't know why anyone thought remote biometrics was a good idea of an unsecure and highly spoofable medium.
I could see this going full circle where you have to come into a bank to get money n shit
You're absolutely right. Security procedures have ramped up huge in response. Which unfortunately negatively impacts the experience of our customers. @@BOBINDUN
Ai generated evidence and Ai generated confessions is the scariest idea ever.
It will just stop being evidence.
@@michwoz well obviously not if you cant distinguish between real and ai generated evidence
No one is safe from that, can't imagine getting framed by AI. There has to be some other forms of evidence that can be trusted.

It’s not difficult.
This exact thing happened to my grand-uncle. He ended up losing just under $30,000 because he had been wiring money to his “son”.
As a songwriter, im afraid AI will be able to write and fully produce hit Songs and then will probably be able to create every song melody in existence...
1:27 new meme template just dropped.
Oh my god, yes
I've heard people try to justify the rapid pace of AI by making up the excuse that AI will help people do their jobs and you'll be left behind by not embracing it, as if we're somehow not currently watching it indiscriminately dismantle our information-first culture in real time.
That and AI and Automation are inherently harmful in a capitalist society, especially one like ours tipping towards fascism where the working class will be left on the streets as jobs disappear and the police state can fake evidence they need with AI. It's genuinely worrying.
"Tech" bros (quotes to distinguish tech narcissists from people that simply like tech) have even advocated to prevent laws to restrict AI, arguing that having any kind of restraint on any kind of technology is inherently bad for humanity's progress. These were the same guys leading the conversation a year ago with the phrase "adapt or die" when artists were/still fearing for their livelihoods.
@@snowrios8084And even if AI and automation miraculously ends capitalism, I still hate to end up in a future like Wall-E where humans are obsolete, robots do everything, and as a result humans just consumed and do nothing.

I totally agree! Never give a cat an orange, the citrus isn't good for them.
So this actually happened to my step dad two years ago. They called him and used ai to imitate his grand son asking for help. Inform your family. The best thing you can do is ask specific questions of shared memories. “What did I get you on Christmas last year” “what happened to aunt Molly when we last saw her” something like that.
100% huge issue and you’re right it’s only gonna get better. This is why we have to educate like everyone about this ASAP. Good start here.

I truly am scared of it. People will do horrible things with it that we can’t even imagine, but there’s no stopping it. This tech is out there now, and people will never let it go. All we can do is watch and see what happens.
We could stop it if we put strict regulations in place. I think that's what has to be done. I don't want a robot takeover, so let's work towards that not happening.
@@thepeacefulbuddahyeah because criminals care about the law 😂😂😂😂
Can't imagine? Oh boy...
@@thepeacefulbuddah While I think it would be a good idea to have regulation. I honestly think it’s already too late for that. This technology is now accessible to millions across the globe, you can’t possibly control what every single person does with it. I feel like trying to stop it is like trying to stop piracy, you can’t possibly track down and persecute everyone’s who pirated a movie, in the same way you can’t stop everyone who now has access to this tech and has the ability to further develop it. AI tech companies would fight hard against any regulation that would attempt to make it more difficult to keep AI in their hands and improve it further. People who use and develop it independently with their own resources in their basement or whatever also can’t be stopped. I feel like Charlie describing it as a “Pandora’s Box” is the perfect description. We’ve opened this box and there is no way in hell we can ever put this stuff back in it, try as we might.
Y'all so ignorant, it won't do anything this isn't at a public level this is at a federal/organization level and Charlie and anyone else for that matter can't do a damn thing about it
Astounding. the Charlie AI almost gave itself away by generating a new turn of phrase: “fine tuned comb”
That self correction was real Charlie just going back and telling the A.I. how to actually say the phrase 😂
Wrong. That just proves he's human. Otherwise he'd finally use "whom" and "which" correctly.
Hopefully this will inevitably lead to the gov stepping in. They did it with robocallers and corps don’t really benefit from these scams so there wouldn’t be really any opposition in banning or restricting AI
Damn, when I first heard about AI voices it was in Skyrim mods and they sounded very rough. It's scary to know this AI voice technology has been rising exponentially for like the past 4 years.
AI is already taking over the science side of youtube. A dozen channels a day are popping up regurgitating the same basic facts, usually space facts, told with flowery language by an AI voice. With thumbnails and channels and titles that all look alike and are all clickbait. Yet they're getting hundreds of thousands if not millions more views than actual substantive S.T.E.M. channels.
These channels have existed since the beginning of time

@@linuxameteur You're missing the point. Scams have existed forever, but at no point in history have we ever had such easy access to machines that can automate the creations of these scams. If you wanted to make that video 20 years ago, you would have to hire a lookalike or a makeup wizard, and a voice actor. Now you need NO TECHNICAL ABILITY to make these as long as you have a computer. You don't need to involve even a single other person to make the ad. Those "science" channels as well, are just someone pushing a button to make an LLM spit out a sentence into a computer voice that can mimic anyone alive or dead.
Dude, same but add in conspiracy theories.
RELAVANT AMERICAN PRESIDENT doesn't want you to know this, but GIANTS have existed for a long time.

The whole "fake kidnapping" one is prety scary. Now, to get both the phone number and the voice clips I think it should be a very close person, so I don't know if it's pretty common... but I guess we should have a secret family password just in case, as if we were dealing with shapesifters.

i'm glad you came back around on the a.i. issues
My guess is that next we are getting AI's whose purpose is telling if something was made by an AI by analyzing and noticing patterns that a human can't tell.
I saw a theory video a few years ago mentioning the end of the internet. Basically the theory was that ai will become so advanced that people will be scared to go to the internet in case they get scammed or if the friends they actually made online are real or not. That theory is basically confirming itself now.
Whats the video called?
That's called the "Dead Internet Theory". It actually asserts that the internet died a while ago and everything right now on the internet is made by bots. Now, it's obvious that AI is going to do that. Isn't life so neat and fun.
I hope that happens. The internet needs to die.
Just assume that everybody online is secretly a 46 year old and you'll never be suprised again.

Luckily grandma was a G and the first thing she did was call my mom, who confirmed, "He's not in jail, he just got home from his college classes." I can't stand scum that try and pull this stuff.
Clever move by your grandma tho

Oh trust me, it's much worse than you think. Dezgo literally allows you to make sexual or pornographic images of anyone, and I do mean anyone. It's really messed up. The scariest part is that isnt what the ai program was even intended to do, it was just intended to make ai character art.
