What\u2019s the old saying? Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery? That could be true in some cases, but when it comes to using AI<\/a> to create fake movie trailers online, YouTube<\/a> is drawing a line in the digital sand. According to reports, YouTube has terminated two flagship channels that used artificial intelligence to create and promote bogus movie trailers. Which channels have fallen under the sword? Screen Culture and KH Studios. When combined, they equate to over 2 million subscribers and more than a billion views. So, not exactly small potatoes.<\/p>\n

R.I.P. Screen Culture and KH Studios<\/p>\n

If you try to access Screen Culture of KH Studios, a message pops up, saying, \u201cThis page isn\u2019t available. Sorry about that. Try searching for something else.\u201d This instance is not the first time either channel has come under scrutiny by YouTube. Earlier this year, YouTube suspended ads on Screen Culture and KH Studios after Deadline<\/a> conducted an in-depth investigation into YouTube\u2019s hosting of fake trailers following the recent AI boom. To skirt the penalty and reinvigorate their ad revenue, both channels started using words like \u201cfan trailer,\u201d \u201cparody,\u201d and \u201cconcept trailer\u201d to circumvent suspicion. Ultimately, YouTube stated that by attempting to sidestep the ban, both channels had violated the platform\u2019s spam and misleading metadata policies.<\/p>\n

The problem with fake movie news<\/p>\n

To each their own and all that jazz, but if I\u2019m being frank, I can\u2019t stand fake trailers. Throw them in the dumpster fire alongside phony movie posters and bogus casting \u201cannouncements.\u201d While some people find fake movie-related media entertaining, the fact of the matter is that the vast majority of those \u201cliking\u201d and sharing such content are part of a larger problem. They\u2019re spreading misinformation, doing a disservice to projects that otherwise could be in development. Many people don\u2019t bother to read past headlines, taking posts on Facebook and other social platforms as gospel, never bothering to think critically. If significant news outlets haven\u2019t discussed Beetlejuice 3<\/a>, how in the hell is it coming to Netflix this Christmas? Why haven\u2019t we heard about it? Where\u2019s the promotion cycle? Movies don\u2019t just magically appear. There\u2019s a process. You get me?<\/p>\n

End rant.<\/p>\n
