(63,930 posts)comedians responding to hecklers. Then an expose on Michael Jackson's siblings on June 4. Both apparently AI narration, but different AI voices. Then a June 12 video on celebrities surprising their fans. Third AI voice. Then back to Michael Jackson on June 18.
And then, a clickbait goldmine - soccer fans discovering the US and being amazed! Seven videos on that topic between June 21 and June 30.

(63,930 posts)outlets about soccer fans from other countries coming to the US, but I don't care for clickbait from YouTube influencers and wannabe influencers.
And AI users. Some of these clickbait videos will use different AI voices for different videos on the same channel.

(3,627 posts)I didn't watch this particular one - but they all follow the same formula. "They're not serial killers like we were told!!!!" ;"They're white supremacists - but they bought me a beer - who knew?!"; "America is so huge!!!" (apparently being "big" is somehow equated to virtuous). Americans also can shoot guns and have fun and still don't manage to kill themselves or others - until they do
Jingoistic propaganda videos based on a strawman premise.

And the video in reply 1 that I commented on in reply 8 is from a channel in Nigeria using voiceover AI narration and probably using AI to both scavenge video from elsewhere on YouTube and write the script.

AI users don't need any commitment to whatever clickbait they're peddling.

There are a whole slew with this muscle bound British guy that at the bottom says AI promotional.
They are propaganda.
