I need your help.

The US midterm elections are under attack. On YouTube, I constantly encounter American AI generated political commentary channels that are picking up followers, and I am convinced the objective is to use these channels to disinform the public in the fall.

Please help by reporting this video as misinformation:

If you are not sure this is AI, notice the way it repeats the same few hand gesture multiple times throughout the video.

For documentation, I am attaching a short clip where the hand gesture is shown.

Apart from this AI bot looking unnatural, the people behind this clearly also overlook the fact, that human political commentators normally do not produce their content from a creative home studio filled with crayons, colourful paper and beige pottery.

@randahl The multi-detector "Search Whisperer" flags screenshots as likely made with Flux (which actually does not offer video generation). A commercial detector also fires. Googles Backstory tool detects traces of SynthID which means that this be AI-generated keyframes stitched together with a video generator. None of this is proof that it is truly AI, as other detectors fail to detect foul play.

@randahl The most curious find by Google's Backstory tool was this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCyJPc928po - a Vietnamese clone of the video with an overvoice.
