YourRAGE was shown AI-generated videos of himself during a recent livestream. The videos used his face and voice to depict him in various scenarios he never actually filmed.
The streamer reacted with visible shock. He expressed discomfort at how realistic the AI versions looked and sounded. The AI videos also featured fellow creators BruceDropEmOff and Cinna. All three were shown in fabricated situations together.
YourRAGE said he was considering ending the stream after seeing the clips. He voiced concerns about how easily someone could make him appear to say or do things he never actually did.
He ultimately continued streaming rather than signing off. But the whole thing clearly rattled him. AI video generation tools have advanced rapidly in recent months. These platforms can now create convincing footage of real people using just photos or short video samples.
Some of these tools claim to require consent before using a public figure’s likeness. But the enforcement of these policies varies widely. Even with safeguards in place, users can screen-record and share AI videos outside the original platform.
The situation highlights a growing problem for content creators. Once AI-generated videos spread online, they become nearly impossible to fully remove. Bad actors could use the technology to create damaging content featuring streamers without their knowledge or permission.
