Repeated movements and his voice has a monotone feel to it. I think it's AI slop.

It was good enough to get me to waste 10 minutes of my life making sure it was fake.

But I've been keenly watching for slop with every video and finding it takes less time with each one.

Here's the thing. His prediction is that this entity will be entering our atmosphere in 36 hours. Will he flame out when this doesn't happen?

If it's a well-known person, and it is not their official YouTube channel, chances are it is some made up bullshit.

12. He could, but it would be expensive, and a lot of these con.artists are in other countries, no matter

what their YouTube profile says.

Please get this off DU. Leaving it here helps fraudster @ A s t r o V e r g e and hurts the scientist being defamed.

11. This video is AI slop and FRAUD by that YouTube channel owner, who is fooling a lot of people into

thinking that's really Michio Kaku, despite admitting it isn't in the descriptions most people don't read.

That YouTube channel should be reported for not labeling their AI slop as synthetic content.

They should be sued for defaming him with this garbage.

And I honestly think people who commit fraud by creating misleading AI garbage like this deserve criminal prosecution as well.

Please get this garbage off DU. Don't help frauds like that YouTuber. I don't understand why you left AI slop from an internet con artist here after being told by other DUers that it's AI slop.
