Many of the AI channels are directly ripping off similar ones, to the point there really should be a copyright strike. All they're doing is copying a story and adding their own AI voice and pictures. It's disgusting, and I do block those. Jerks.

The trouble is, I watch channels in other languages - one for a cheetah in Russia is now being overdubbed and it's just awful. This is something YT has been adding, not by choice of the channel owner, and I don't know if they know how to turn it off. If this happens to Luna the Pantera and the Turkish veterinarian I love to watch, it's going to get ugly.
