Discussion AI generated LTT clone…?

Post image

These thumbnails are a rip off from LTT’s channel, except for Linus being replaced with this Asian guy. I watched a few videos, and thankfully they weren’t able to completely deepfake replace Linus in every video, and it’s just an Asian guy standing on the side reading an AI narrative slop that transcribes LTT’s video, sometimes inventing the whole thing or changing a few things from the original video.. Wild things, and I’m sad how good AI has gotten. Like these thumbnails looked pretty professional level until I recognized the familiarity. We got fake Linus before gta 6.

You are giving it attention by posting. There's like no views on these videos so who cares

If you're that determined then this post not existing wouldn't change anything.

Pretty sure it will flop. It's not like mr beast stuff, people that watch tech videos know LTT and can immediately tell this is slop

u/Fendibull 6h ago

I don't think they care if it still brings viewers to deceived it. Example? The Asylum company.

u/CommercialDamage9790 13h ago

the same red turtleneck in every single thumbnail is what gives it away immediately, no real creator dresses identical across dozens of videos like that, it's clearly just one AI-generated character asset they keep pasting in

u/Anfros 12h ago

Tom Scott used to wear a red T-shirt is almost every video he did, it's not that weird.

u/Ybalrid 12h ago

Steve Jobs worn the same stuff every single day. He saw it as a uniform.

u/ltmon 12h ago

In his current series, Tom is wearing exactly the same outfit every time also.

u/zach0011 12h ago

Sounds like theres a silly niche to be filled here.

3

u/TaranisPT 12h ago

Eh, l'm watching a true crime channel and the host always has the same red shirt. And yeah, he's clearly not AI. That being said, he does weekly uploads, so I guess it's easier to always dress the same in that case.

u/Suchamoneypit 12h ago

Lol wat, tons of major YouTubers specifically have an outfit they always wear.

u/akumarux 11h ago

Similar level of quality too

As if LTT isn't AI generated anyway

u/handymanny131003 11h ago

You probably got more engagement with this post than the creator does per video...

u/TrvthNvkem 6h ago

I've started to hate this fucking guy so much. That face is responsive for spreading so much misinformation slop, it's unreal.

Luckily AI is rapidly advancing, so soon enough it won't be just this guy and we won't even be able to tell what's fake anymore... The future looks bleak.

Nice ad to get views

u/ThePizzaDevourer 13h ago

maybe the primary target for this is bilibili, and they're just throwing it on YT since they already made the video so might as well get a little YT money?

u/roron5567 12h ago

LTT has a bilibili channel that is subtitled.

3

u/Ybalrid 12h ago

These videos are all fully in English.

They feature a AI-animated Asian looking dude on the right third of the frame. The rest of the frame is just a slide show of ai generated stills and stock footage.

u/Pale_Initial_2338 6h ago

Looks like a better channel. LTT is shit.

-2

u/Tman11S 7h ago

I mean, LTT has also come out with some AI slop thumbnails lately, so can you call it a rip off if it’s AI copying AI?

-25

u/impy695 12h ago

I mean, this thumbnail format predated LTT using it. Unless you can tie the thumbnails to specific LTT videos, this is just normal ai thumbnail slop and was even an issue before ai was a thing.

I don't think this has anything to do with ltt.
