Plain bagel done well. Pleasantly substantive.
Summary
YouTube has been secretly using AI to enhance videos without informing creators or obtaining permission. Music YouTuber Rick Beato discovered his videos were being altered when he noticed his appearance looked strange, with his hair appearing different and it seeming like he was wearing makeup. This raises concerns about AI-mediated reality and the impact on shared human experiences when content is altered without transparency.
