YouTube has removed Screen Culture and KH Studio, two channels that used generative AI to create fake trailers. Both channels now return a “page isn’t available” message. According to Deadline, these channels collectively had over 1 billion views and 2 million subscribers. They used copyrighted characters and story settings to create fake trailers for highly anticipated game and movie sequels.YouTube’s action comes after Disney sent a cease-and-desist letter to Google, accusing it of “exploiting” copyrighted works through its AI tools and failing to take appropriate action against copyright violations on YouTube. Should YouTube tolerate AI creators to allow them earn something ?
