AI-Generated misinformation on Diddy trial skyrockets on YouTube

YouTube is packed with channels pushing AI-made videos that falsely link big names like Brad Pitt, Will Smith, and Justin Bieber to Sean "Diddy" Combs's ongoing trial.
In just a year, nearly 900 of these fake-news videos have pulled in close to 70 million views, using flashy thumbnails and made-up quotes to grab attention.

TL;DR

Always double-check what you see online

These AI-driven clips blur real news with fiction so well that it's tough to tell what's legit.
YouTube has started taking down or demonetizing some channels, but the content keeps spreading—even on TikTok.
This whole mess is a reminder: always double-check what you see online, especially when AI can make fake stories look so real.
Staying sharp about misinformation matters more than ever.
