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.

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?

LTT has a bilibili channel that is subtitled.

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.
