17. "AI or not"? What that YouTuber is doing is incredibly unethical and disrespectful of Bill Clinton, and no

Democrats should find this acceptable. A lot of people seeing these videos will be fooled by them. We've seen similar AI trickery here with at least one YouTuber using Obama as a puppet to make up speeches for him. We've seen Jimmy Kimmel and Rachel Maddow used as puppets by unethical.AI users.

Often these fraudsters try to claim they're "fans" of the real people they're exploiting for views and money on YouTube. That's bullshit.

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS AN INDEPENDENT, FAN-MADE CHANNEL NOT AFFILIATED WITH BILL CLINTON, HIS CAMPAIGN, OR ANY POLITICAL ORGANIZATION. THE VIDEOS ARE INSPIRED BY PUBLIC SPEECHES AND VERIFIED NEWS FOR EDUCATIONAL AND ANALYTICAL PURPOSES ONLY.


There's nothing "educational" about putting words the YouTuber wrote - or possibly just had AI write - into Bill Clinton's mouth.

These videos are fraud. At the very least, every video should be clearly labeled as NOT a statement by Bill Clinton, and NOT his voice. They aren't because the YouTuber makes more money tricking people.

DU should never be used to help YouTube con artists and spread disinformation.
