One can imagine nearly the same sentence being written 100+ years ago about the honest hard-working landscape painters we all know and love, vs the newfangled corner-cutting opportunists with their (questionably moral) "photography."
Fraud is bad, and people should know what they're consuming. Artists should control what they're producing, as in this case involving Youtube. That said, the underlying moral panic betrayed by the quoted sentence is completely over-the-top.
Full disclosure: I haven't created any AI art, nor do I know anyone who does.
They've also introduced automatic dubbing for foreign language videos. While this can be useful, I'd prefer it to be opt-in like how you can select the language for subtitles.
Hmm. I've been watching some old shows taken from VHS and some of them look like cursed AI upscale. One series was titled as AI upscale, and another wasn't. Both looked a bit rough. Wonder if this is why.

I hate it. Similar to "Remastered" on Spotify that makes everything sound the same, which I hate far more.
