(59,210 posts)34. UTUSN, you just uncovered more stuff being done by the person creating fake Obama videos earlier!
Wow! The YouTube channel that person had for the fake Obama videos has been removed, apparently, but it had a disclaimer similar to the one you posted in reply 2 here - and notice that in the disclaimer you copied, for the fake Kimmel video, the disclaimer earlier today, it refers to Gavin Newsom, not Jimmy Kimmel.
Here's that disclaimer you copied to DU, the way it still read on YouTube when you posted reply 2:

2. If it is, I'll delete this, but am getting tired of the "AI" catchall thing.

I'll grant that the lips don't match, but the voice and the content is very KIMMEL-like. If the content is real KIMMEL, won't delete.
Here's the description from the link:

This makes me wonder if whoever has that YouTube channel is also doing deepfakes of Newsom on another channel.
After you copied that disclaimer to DU, whoever has that channel changed Gavin Newsom to Jimmy Kimmel, without changing a word otherwise. This is the current disclaimer:

This is the disclaimer that was used a couple of weeks ago for a channel with similar fakes of Obama. Note the way the disclaimer starts, and some similar though not identical wording. I'd copied the disclaimer into a reply in a thread about one of thw videos.

Both the Newsom/Kimmel disclaimers and the Obama disclaimer refer to making the messages "more accessible" and to doing this for "educational" purposes.
God only knows how many YouTube channels with deepfakes of famous people this YouTuber might have set up.
