Here’s why there are massive Sony A7rVI, A7V, FX3II and RX1rIII rumours floating youtube!

Share

If you search on youtube for cameras like the Sony A7rVI, Sony A7V, Sony FX3II and so on, you will find a large number of ‘rumor’ videos. Over the past few months, readers have often pointed these videos out to me and some of them believed that they were real rumors.

But they are all AI generated videos!!!

There’s software that basically uses tools like CHATGPT to create a scripted text for a YouTube video, and then uses AI tools for image and video generation that create images based on that scripted text. In fact, most of the text in these videos is scraped from my websites, and then they add a few fantasy ideas to grab your attention. I hope that Youtube will soon crack down on AI-generated videos. Some of these videos have more views than my real rumor videos on Youtube :(

In general, I’m surprised at how many people fall for these IA pictures and videos. On many social networks like Facebook, IG and TikTok, I see hundreds of thousands of likes for such content and most people believe it’s real!

It’s a crazy world we live in… I almost think it’s time to go live on a mountain with my dog…. ah, sorry… I don’t have a dog… it’s just a dog created by AI!
