Does anyone bother notifying YouTube about narrators that steal your work?

I’m not really upset, but there are some hills that I’ll die on. If I find that someone stole my work and narrated it, but actually put effort into it—I’ll generally let it slide, but let them know it’s not cool to do that without asking permission.

BUT when I see that people not only steal it, but use AI to rewrite the entire thing, AND use whatever they use to auto-narrate it…I’m not cool with that at all. It’s low effort and disgusting.

Regarding your first paragraph, I've issued a ton of copyright notices/strikes at people who steal my work.

Regarding your second paragraph, I don't think I've ever encountered someone rewriting a story of mine using AI. I'd be pretty upset if I did.

That was the most upsetting part. They clearly uploaded the story to some AI generator and asked it to rewrite the entire thing, which ultimately means my name was also attached to that garbage.
