Hey, podcast listeners, this is an audio exclusive episode of Creator Support.

0:05.9

Over the past year, we've gotten a ton of questions from all of you about AI.

0:10.2

It's something that Samir and I have been talking a lot about this year.

0:13.5

So for this episode, I had the unique opportunity to speak with a creator who's at the forefront

0:18.4

of AI on YouTube.

0:20.1

He actually has turned himself

1:16.1

these AI generated YouTube videos, he's also started a company called JVDB Studios, which develops

tools for AI content creation. I imagine this is going to become more and more prevalent in

1:26.3

2024, people turning to AI to support them with creation.

1:30.8

In this episode, I ask him, first off, why are you doing this? And also, how are you doing it?

1:35.9

We then start to talk a little bit about what this means for the future and how platforms like YouTube should be regulating deepfakes.
