@randahl The multi-detector "Search Whisperer" flags screenshots as likely made with Flux (which actually does not offer video generation). A commercial detector also fires. Googles Backstory tool detects traces of SynthID which means that this be AI-generated keyframes stitched together with a video generator. None of this is proof that it is truly AI, as other detectors fail to detect foul play.
@randahl The most curious find by Google's Backstory tool was this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCyJPc928po - a Vietnamese clone of the video with an overvoice.

I need your help.
The US midterm elections are under attack. On YouTube, I constantly encounter American AI generated political commentary channels that are picking up followers, and I am convinced the objective is to use these channels to disinform the public in the fall.
Please help by reporting this video as misinformation:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2P0EwPwF7jwIf you are not sure this is AI, notice the way it repeats the same few hand gesture multiple times throughout the video.

@randahl disinformation. *
Google is aligned with the Trump administration, as far as I know.
-
For documentation, I am attaching a short clip where the hand gesture is shown.
Apart from this AI bot looking unnatural, the people behind this clearly also overlook the fact, that human political commentators normally do not produce their content from a creative home studio filled with crayons, colourful paper and beige pottery.

The lighting and shadows in the background (apparently by the sun through the window) is the same in multiple videos.But, they could claim that the background is a green screen.

@randahl Are you sure Youtube isn't in on it?
'Cause I'm absolutely not.
@jorgecandeias I understand your scepticism, and I do not pretend to know all of YouTube's motives, but I do appreciate that YouTube have taken down several of the accounts I have reported. That is a good sign.

@randahl #alt4you Two stills of what looks like a brunette woman in a pink and white room, speaking with raised eyebrows and a hand up in a pincer gesture. However, the two photographs are totally identical to the pixel except around her lower face, chin, and mouth. Neither her forehead, hand, hair, or shoulders have moved at all. It is clearly generated imagery.
@cwicseolfor Thank you. Added.

I have hearing issues so I tend to watch lips to help.
That does not look right, the mouth movements while mostly correct do not look right. The C for instance in C-Span. Listening to that would tire me.Almost as annoying to look at as sound that is slightly out of sync.
@nerb I know exactly what you mean. And hopefully this also helps many people realise this is fake.

@janeggers very interesting. What I really want is a way to find a long list of these AI videos, so I can make a real commentary video drawing attention to the problem.

@randahl You might want to visit the r/isthisAI subreddit to enlist help.

@randahl indicator.media and 404media.co might be interested in this.

@randahl also that ring light should be in use, between the camera and the subject 🤨
