How about we stick to the facts of what is actually happening?

I mean, I'm also not Brad Pitt. "Yet."

Given Google's history and the fact they rolled this out without notice or consent makes me feel comfortable saying "yet". If YouTube can get away with making GenAI YouTubers (via some likeness sign off buried in the T&C) without paying the originals I'm sure they'd love to do so. All the ad impressions with none of the payout to creators.

Their AI answers box (and old quick answer box) has already affected traffic to outside sites with answers scraped from those sites. Why wouldn't they make fake YouTubers?

> I mean, I'm also not Brad Pitt. "Yet."

Not with that attitude!
