Proof News article

I mention this Proof News investigation because it shows the bigger picture: creators’ work being used without knowledge or consent, at industrial scale. It also reportedly included 13 of my videos, which made the whole plagiarism conversation feel a lot less like isolated drama and more like a systemic problem.

Pros

+Provides reporting and context on AI companies using YouTube videos for training
+Helps creators understand the scope of the issue beyond individual plagiarism cases

Cons

-Doesn’t necessarily clarify what the long-term implications are for individual creators
-Can be unsettling without offering an obvious solution
