content farms in other countries even when it's supposedly originating in the US.

I posted a thread last December on dangerous YouTube "health" channels from foreign content farms:

Those sites target seniors, who are probably least likely to spot AI-generated content.

That targeting of seniors is probably part of why we're seeing so many AI-generated fake nostalgia channels that are clickbait to remind older people what life was like in certain decades, what music was like, what stores they loved to shop in, etc. AI-scripted, AI-narrated, often with a wild assortment of AI-generated or AI-gathered images and video clips that can be different locations or eras from what's being presented. The sorts of errors people who actually lived in those places in those eras would be likely to catch, but someone in another country wouldn't.

The same thing goes for a lot of political YouTube channels, whether anti-Trump or pro-Trump. The content spewed out quickly by AI is no indication that they live in the country whose politics they're commenting on, let alone hold the political beliefs they supposedly hold.
