Be aware of what you're seeing. If Wilson isn't filmed live in a conversation, vids like this are likely AI generated.

I know it's an image of Wilson. How exactly do you know it's Wilson in reality.

Google's DeepMind AI even tells us that about Google and YouTube are using AI generated videos.
Yes, Google and YouTube present AI-generated videos. YouTube hosts videos created by users with AI, and both Google Search and YouTube are testing or rolling out features that use AI to generate video content or overviews.
On YouTube
User-Generated Content: YouTube allows creators to upload videos made with AI, provided they adhere to community guidelines and, in many cases, disclose the use of AI. Videos that are entirely AI-generated can be monetized if they provide original value and are not low-effort spam or "AI slop".
Disclosure and Labeling: YouTube introduced a policy requiring creators to disclose when a video includes "meaningfully altered or synthetic" content that could be mistaken for reality (e.g., realistic scenes of fictional events or manipulated human likenesses). Such videos are then labeled as "altered or synthetic content" for viewers.
AI Creation Tools: YouTube offers its own AI-powered tools for creators, such as Dream Screen (for generating AI backgrounds in Shorts) and other features powered by Google's Veo model (a text-to-video generator). Content created using these official tools is automatically labeled as AI-generated.
On Google Search
AI Overviews/Video Clips: Google Search is testing a feature where AI generates video overviews or carousels of clips in response to a user's query, particularly for shopping or travel topics.
AI Video Generators: Google provides AI video creation tools like Veo 3 and Flow through services like Google Labs and Google Vids, which allow users to create videos from text prompts. These tools are integrated across various Google products.
Content in Search Results: Google Search results naturally include videos hosted on YouTube, many of which may be AI-generated, as described above.
In summary, AI-generated videos are a present and growing part of both platforms, with both user-created content and features developed by Google and YouTube incorporating AI technology.

On its 20th anniversary, YouTube is venturing into an era of AI-generated video, and may never be the same. "

Seriously (as a heart attack). DU has to be careful from now on about what's human generated vs what's AI generated.
DU video posters would do well to read about this and start using it, or party members can be misled by disinformation.
Google's digital watermarking tool called SynthID was integrated in 2025 into products like Gemini, Imagen and Veo. Google also created the portal SynthID detector for users to check whether text, images or videos were produced with Google's generative AI products.

Don't you see the mismatch of audio and his lips? Look again.
Don't you note that the photo composition presented isn't the news photo we saw?
If you don't want to see, that video can affect others here. And not in a good way, but in an AI pro-Wilson way.
