Something very important I recently learned: YouTube is doubling down on their use of AI, even beyond the age verification system. It turns out they’re now applying AI-based post-processing to YouTube Shorts. That means even videos that have nothing AI-generated in them will be altered to look AI-generated.

You can watch a video on that here: https://x.com/earthklaans/status/1957853505743446278

This raises serious concerns about transparency, authenticity, and the future of creative content on the platform.

Thank you again for standing with me in this fight. Let's keep pushing!
