"it's not immediately clear to me how this line will be defined" I'm myself struggling with this as well, even more as a creator, than a consumer.

I just built an AI-generated fakenews app [1] (for fun) and it opened my eyes: we're playing with fire.

The tech is already there: a bit of roop (deepfake) + SadTalker (lipync) + chatGPT, etc and voila! Anyway can create realistic videos / music on the fly! It's both thrilling and terrifying.

AI's involvement in media production isn't just a technical footnote; it's a fundamental shift in the landscape of information and creativity. Just like we scrutinize the origins of our food, we need to dissect the genesis of our media.

What YT is doing here is a first small step. It's time for all tech giants to confront this reality head-on. We're at a crossroads, and the path we choose will redefine our relationship with technology, creativity, and truth.

Thats brilliant. You have to share details on how you built it!

The backend is made in bubble.io, and it uses a bunch of AI models via APIs: elevenlabs for the text-to-voice, some lipsync models (via replicate), a bit of deepfake (roop) for the host, a bit of chatGPT for the script generation

Seems your site got hugged to death. Was interested in one of the 'random' generated items it could put out.
