Can YouTube stop shoving terrible robot-English AI dubs down my throat? I once looked up a German language test. It was auto-AI dubbed into English. Ugggghhhhh..... There are also a lot of anime where the AI dub essentially removes the music and sound effects and leaves only a dreary AI voiceover. It's kinda crazy that Google is pushing this feature out....

There's no way to switch back to the original audio track? I agree you shouldn't have to but I'm wondering if it's possible.

You can change the audio track back to the original.

Not sure if it remembers your preference, though, so if it doesn't that probably grates.

I think that "impossible to detect" is not something realistic if camera manufacturers are willing to start adding encryption signatures to their cameras outputs and are willing to vouch for them. I realize this would still allow fakes to be presented by governments in all likelihood, but not everyone.

Pointing the camera at a screen could potentially evade that.

Right, but my point is that a video of a screen should be less believable than the source video insofar as verifying legitimacy.

I suggest turning off recommendation if you dislike what they suggest My YT landing page is completely blank and need to go "subscription" tab to see newly uploaded vids from the ones I subscribe to It's quite nice not having to view all kinds of random stuff YT wants me to see

This ^

Who posts raw output from cameras anywhere? This doesn't seem useful outside some niche use-cases (like security camera footage). At a minimum just about every recording is going to be re-compressed for streaming.

I don't think it needs do be raw output. I'm pretty sure that signatures can exist within image and sound outputs that are reproducible when changing to other formats.

I bet the cameras' companies will start automatically uploading the real footage to their servers for attestation, and allow the camera owners to get those links, so people will just add that link on YouTube or whatever and say "See, its real, Sony vouches for it", heck maybe they will make their buyers to sign up with YouTube and do it for them.

How on top of security do you think all the camera manufacturers are going to be? That is, how long until people can sign videos that were not, in fact, shot with their camera?

Proving that you were able to upload something that is not real would go viral so it's very attractive to people to share such findings, meaning it would not last long, then they fix it and that's it, specially because they can require you to upgrade your camera's firmware if you want to keep using their attestation service.

Synthid and the like survive compression and decent quality rerecording.

Donning my tinfoil hat for a moment, YouTube is in a position here to simultaneously iterate on automatic AI video detection while also working out how to make AI generated video that's impossible to detect.

I think that "impossible to detect" is not something realistic if camera manufacturers are willing to start adding encryption signatures to their cameras outputs and are willing to vouch for them. I realize this would still allow fakes to be presented by governments in all likelihood, but not everyone.

wouldn't that just encourage monopolistic behavior and lockdown of these devices?

they're already locked down as-is.

What if you can't tell it's a video of a screen?
