Here's a representative example that my father in law (in his 70s) shared with me the other day: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=puRg-4ZvNYs

somebody in the comments mentioned this is a point where the AI glitched out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puRg-4ZvNYs&t=150
That's hilarious. Reminded me of the scene at spaceport security in the original Total Recall where Arnie's AI loses the plot.
someone had nine-sixty dollars drained from their bank account. seems legit.
She just wants your attention. https://youtube.com/shorts/27VqkuNndOY
Fascinating broken-bot glitch, thank you. Reminds me of some sci-fi movies.
Oh, that's exactly the kind of video I was talking about.

Maybe I should be generating generic AI made videos. LOL.

Crazy. On mobile it’s relatively easy to grab the playhead and scrub back and forth quickly over the full length of the video — this shows how the face movements are totally repetitive and constrained to a very limited space and variety.
"and nine sixty dollars is gone"

This isn't even well done. I also opened it in a private browsing window, and the ad I was served was the most obviously AI-generated slop hawking some kind of health drink...that was clearly just a badly generated bottle of apple cider vinegar (text on the bottle was all mangled but it's exactly the kind my grocery store sells), and the "doctor" speaking barely synced up with his voice. Do people falling for these just have no sense of the uncanny valley?

These are crazy (and scary)
I hate that I opened that in my main account, it's weird AF. Goes off to edit YT history to hope that click didn't affect my alg.
Absolutely regret just doing the same thing.
This is genuinely disturbing. I’m speechless.
