4. Sigh. This is AI slop again. The video description says it's made with AI. Photos are real, words and music AI.

There is NO EXCUSE for using AI to create protest music. It's unethical, and it's a travesty.

Why are you posting music identified on those YouTube channels as AI-generated without saying in your post here - and it should be in the title - that it's AI-generated?

Linking to your earlier thread with AI slop - and people should see my comments there about why using AI is wrong:

Not telling DUers you're posting AI slop instead of real music isn't fair to them.
