6. You're welcome, Sheltie! I don't know who alerted on it so it was removed - I couldn't decide which

category for alerts would fit it best - but I'm glad it's gone, though the link I posted in the OP before I knew it was gone still takes you to the deleted thread with all the replies, and the name of the YouTube channel for the jerk creating those deepfakes.

I very rarely alert on anyone. I prefer to try to make people understand when something they posted was a mistake.

It's been discouraging to see AI garbage making inroads here, from people posting "ChatGPT says" nonsense to AI slop being treated as worth posting. Liberals should have higher standards.

But I never thought I'd see anyone here defend posting a deepfake of Obama.
