Fake Brian Cox and Richard Fynemen are in abundance.

Imagine 50 years down the road impossible to tell which things Richard Feynman really said in his lectures and which are all made up.

I just blocked a fake Brian Cox one a couple of hours ago. There can be a certain time waste looking at the things before figuring they are rubbish.

Youtube should give you more options than just block or don't show me this. You should be able to click 'AI fake of real person' so they don't get inflicted on others unless they like that stuff.

Unfortunately it's not possible to block a channel on YouTube, or I'd have blocked thousands. All you can do is tell it not to recommend a channel.

I'm working on a short story that explores this! Different organizations producing fake videos about a real person/event, to nudge you in their desired direction.
