"Altered or Synthetic Content" ? [View all]

I watch a lot of You Tube videos, especially on topics I am interested in, such as politics and media.

Recently, I have noticed more and more of them have the words, "Altered or Synthetic Content" which means it is AI and has been edited or created out of whole cloth, but with a person actually speaking as if it is "real". But, it is not.

I used to watch Rick Wilson quite a bit on You Tube, at least bits here and there, but anymore, everytime I click on it, it says it is altered or synthetic? I wonder if Rick Wilson is making these videos by himself or some stranger is using his likeness and his voice?

Perhaps it is just me? But I do not trust anything I see that is AI or has been "altered" or has "synthetic content". I immediately click out of the link.
