AI generated YouTube videos - how-to guide

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJ4RJaYCp_k
I had doubts about whether a video cat herders of linux recently posted was a real person, but is AI really making YouTube videos? Yes, it seems, and this YouTube video shows how it can be done with easily available online tools, and also gives an idea of how you might spot them.  ;)

That's interesting. In the thread you referenced I said "I haven't watched the whole video" and part of the reason for that is I found the narrators voice irritating. Though I didn't really clock it as computer generated at the time. It just sounded a bit sped up. You are right though.
Some YT videos I've watched have a clearly computer generated voice and I used to naively assume it was non native English speaking creators using text to speech so that they could create understandable English content.

The cynic in me thinks that if it was so easy to make the figures suggested in this video the creator "Real Money Strategies" would be concentrating on that whereas his channel has a lot of videos on this same theme (as well as others with an affiliate marketing theme).
So I suspect the real money being made by him is through the affiliate links in the description to the tools he's promoting ?
Or he may well be doing both?

With each passing day the internet becomes less useful as a research tool.  :(

Yes, and there are free open source video editing tools available too, no need to use a paid one. He mentions he has several channels on various platforms so probably still has to work for it if he does make that much! Hollywood actors etc recently had a big strike over AI replacing them, I guess the online tools are the tip of the iceberg, when you think how quite impressive CGI was used in movies decades ago, long before the public had anything similar. There was controversy over synthesizers and drum machines in music when that started to appear in the charts, it hasn't entirely replaced more traditional music though, nor did photographs replace artists. Like the audio in that first video, it's the human imperfections that give something different, but it looks like a new video genre is emerging.
