Don't trust random videos on YouTube,
just because they "look and sound" as real people.
It is very bad that Google / YouTube knowingly accepts such "deepfake" videos,
with likely required, but not-easy-to-see "disclaimers" like this:

Clearly, dramatic videos are getting attention of people,and making money for YouTube,
at the cost of misinformation of people.
Should be required to be clearly labeled, filtered out or even banned if using identity of real people.
YouTube, fake videos and the age of AI
Obviously, "real" people and videos are often also not presenting real "true" information,
and usually there is no easy or any good way to find out what is "true" or not.
Still, stealing identity of people is completely different issue, and not correct.
At least there is an option to report an "Hide" such "users" from own YouTube channlel.
