6. Rachel's voice is AI generated, and so is all of the "content" in the video. Two reasons: first, it's not

corroborated by any news publishers, and second we know for a fact that Rachel doesn't produce videos because she's under contract with MSNOW. So how in the age of AI, could you really think this is real? Rachel Maddow does not make videos on the side. Period. So why would you go ahead and post this anyway?

The video makers themselves SAY: In this powerful 25-minute Rachel Maddow–style political deep dive, we unravel how Ukraine brilliantly lured advancing Russian forces ... blah blah...

Who are the "we"?? Ever heard of, or looked up World Report HQ? No?

Then it amounts to disinformation and therefore clickbait propaganda. DU videos should be grounded in reality, not wishful thinking; otherwise we're no better at reality than maga.

People need to be careful and considerate about using AI, especially when it comes to "video news." Love you, Botany, but if you don't delete this, then I'll be trashing it.
