Every week I get multiple comments from YouTube viewers who think that I am not a real person, but an AI generated character.
What can I do in my next episode that will lay this weird conspiracy theory to rest?

@randahl As long as you occasionally show your face and speak on camera, I will believe you are real. If the only thing you ever offer is voiceovers and graphics, and you have a monotone delivery, AI will be suspected.
@sjsmac I have replied to the comment seen above, that I gave a live lecture about Disinformation in Vienna, which is visible here:
https://youtu.be/wnLviKf13lcThat would be rather hard to fake.

@randahl Point out your grammar and pronunciation errors, as well as your telltale Danish accent, which are all not readily attributable to text-to-speech or auto-generated content.
(I realize this may sound like I'm telling you that you need to work on your English, but what I mean is that it takes rather extreme training or talent to sound like a native English or American speaker. Curiously, a common "mistake" is to obey language rules that are generally broken by native speakers.)

@randahl Having now watched a few clips of your YT channel, I have no idea why people think you're AI generated. Probably their inability to recognize proper grammar when delivered by a flesh and blood human.

The only thing that I can imagine, is if you do a 'live' broadcast with 'world time' somewhere in the shot, or maybe something like BBC World news live on a computer in the background.

@randahl maybe some "cut scenes" during the intro. You appearing outdoors...
Other than that. Just ignore the comments. You know you're not an AI, that's enough.
There'll always be people who don't believe and don't want to believe whatever you say or do. Moonlanding. Flat earth. Impossible to prove a negative. It could be baiting too.

Change your haircut.
Try to adopt a different accent. -

@randahl I’d put a disclaimer on the screen at the beginning that states that AI was not used, like the way disclaimers sometimes state that no animals were hurt filming something.
Some people might not believe it, but at least those that are wondering will know.

@randahl Could it be the Danish accented English they think is artificial? Try adopting the terrible English that former Norwegian prime minister and NATO general secretary, Jens Stoltenberg, is infamous for here. Tou can probably find some examples online - no one will believe that is made by AI…

@randahl As you talk, nonchalantly hold your microphone so everyone can see that your hand has a 6th finger. And then halfway through your vid, bite off this 6th finger and spit it into a jar that's full of other fingers.
Maybe too much? -

@randahl I settled with "just don't read comments on YouTube" 10 years ago.

@randahl
Maybe have some sections where you aren't using a green screen? You did a video out in nature once, maybe more of that? Doesn't have to be nature, could be your office, garden, patio...I'm not saying make entire videos like that, use the green screen when you need to show some graphics or a video clip, but then cut back to nature/office when it's just you talking.
But that's just me guessing that the green screen is what triggers people AI spider senses. It could be your Danish accent as well, or sounding too rehearsed.
But I'm just guessing, I might be completely off.
(Joking: Or just drop all professionalism and do an unscripted video from the bathroom

You can tell them that with the greatest respect, they can fuck off.That should do it.
You know you can never convince someone of the truth if they really want the lie to be true.
Emotions have been around longer and intelligence is on top of it, so emotions rule. Always has.

@randahl Include a few bloopers, perhaps. Unless you are perfect in 1 go, that should work.
And otherwise create some bloopers.

@randahl This has been a thing for as long as the internet has been around. 15 years it was people calling "photoshop" on everything, today it's "AI."
It's tough to get people to understand what the tells of a fake actually are, and even the best spotters will have some false positives.
"We can't know what's true" is part of the point of disinformation, and by far the hardest one to counter.

@randahl lean into it, claim to not be AI but a lizard man in a human suit.
