It's a fleeting image at the beginning of many videos on youtube, if you aren't paying attention you'll miss it completely as I did at first. That disclaimer is also the reason I don't believe half what I see on the internet, all too often it flashes at the beginning of a video and like me you'll think what you're watching is a real news event. But, it's not real. I just though you should know that so much of what you see on 'media' videos is nothing more than an entertainment piece, be careful what you believe The following video had that disclaimer in the very beginning and I almost missed it.

These disclaimers flash very quickly at the very beginning of videos, they are easy to miss

I didn't at first either but I kept getting the impression that something in the very beginning didn't stay long enough for me to actually see it so I replayed that video a few times using pause and backing up the video to try to see what was missed, that is when I actually saw the disclaimer @rakski

I don’t pay any attention to anyone promoting a “news story” that’s “major breaking news” that every reputable news agency on earth somehow missed.

Sadly, lots of idjits out there see these stupid vids and think they're real. I wish someone could put a stop to AI, I hate it.

It's a sad funny. The movie wasn't all that much of a hit and I can't recall seeing anything about it after the mid 70s. People tend to be more like sheep than anything else, if enough people make something popular like Jaws then many will follow.

@rebelann — I think it’s funny in a way that people didn’t heed the warning way back in 1968 with HAL9000 in the novel 2001: A Space Odyssey.

I hate that. I have heard that they are supposed to put that it is AI if they use that. I've seen it used on some but not many. I watch YouTube ALOT and I can usually tell which is real now. I didn't use to be able to see the signs and it caused me some stress and anger a few times. After Dolly passed, I started seeing a lot of fake stuff which angers me too.

I haven't seen that on YouTube yet probably because I only watch news on youtube and just talk shows from the local celebrities I know. And I only watch crochet tutorials sometimes.

The video on my discussion was classified as news yet this disclaimer was a fleeting image at the very beginning

Yes, I see this Disclaimer quite often recently when I open YouTube videos. There are too many videos created with the AI now, you can notice that they are "fake", I like what is real, I hate AI.

I hate it too. The problem that occurs to me is that too many people don't get it and think when they see these stupid videos that it's real.

@rebelann - I know, I see more and more fabricated stories that cannot be real, but people believe everything they see.

I’m not a YouTube watcher unless you’ve posted something with Tuffy or Roscoe or one of your other fur babies. I do occasionally watch a how to video, but for the most part I think I might be the rare person who rarely uses YouTube. I just assume most of what I watch online or on TV really is lies. Some people believe anything though. One Mylotter was telling people Michael Kors and Jennifer Lopez got married. How can anyone believe that crap? Michael Kors is gay!

The video you chose is also labeled as an AI video and that is why the video has the disclaimer. That disclaimer is required at the beginning of all AI videos on YouTube.

Yes, I always see that, and if they don't put it they will have trouble launching it in public. And yes, it is true that we should be cautious with what we watch, coz we might be mislead in what we believe. Everything is so deceiving if we don't check facts first and discerning the content correctly in the standard of good and bad - morality.

I agree. I noticed that these disclaimers only flash quickly at the beginning of videos which means many people would miss it entirely.

That is true since many celebrities will tell their fans that not everything you read about them is true.

It will flash very quickly at the beginning of a video and in my case I almost missed it but then I restarted the above video to see what that first frame was.

I rarely believe anything on the news, many so called journalists are only in it for the ratings so they have to embellish the news to make it more enticing
