I know this had AI, but I assumed the basic facts are true.

In no universe am I watching a 30-minute video (or even a 5-minute one), but looking at the transcript I see this:

what the pope did while all alone in a room: "The pope "looked up at the high ceiling. He closed his eyes. ..." Are we supposed to believe he wrote this script, or reported his actions in minute detail to some scrivener?

I hope the gist of the video is true; but it's at best historical fiction.

I wish posters would at least vet their stuff before posting.

Perhaps DU could add a flag to hide the video section on the home page since it has become mostly trash?

👍

Pope seems to be going after segments of the institutional Church that are actively sabotaging the Pope's agenda.

But, I guess, this could be AI make believe. I wanna believe that this is real.

AI don't care about faith or belief or trust. And it is so easily created by "evil" actors.

Supposedly spoken about group of curia traditionalists manipulating Church's position, redirecting funds, etc.

I'm not Catholic, so I don't fully understand. So this didn't happen? The whole video is a fairy tale? I appreciate the OP bringing it up anyway.

I appreciate it.

Scio omnia

all supposedly inside info, all marked as urgent and/or as something that happened only minutes ago.

All AI-generated bullshit. Pure clickbait.

Damn the people posting this crap, and the unethical AI companies with their illegally trained tools that are filling the internet with AI slop and misinformation and disinformation.

Rather than deleting, I'll keep it up so people can see how it AI works.

YouTube channels to look for signs that they're posting AI slop.

This is the third such channel posted here today. The first I saw was an AI slop channel posting videos about earthquakes - videos filled with errors.

Then there was a video from an AI channel posting nothing but fake statements from Bill Clinton, using an AI copy of his voice.

And now this channel that tricked you...

Oh, well. I watched England beat Mexico anyway, and when England won the fans sang Wonderwall again.

Oasis in Music Appreciation, which I host, since their reunion tour started a year ago yesterday.

What is the "it" that supposedly happened in the first place?

No sense keeping something up there if it's of dubious nature, even if you and I would want it to be true.

The Tales of Peace YouTube channel (@TalesofPeace-s9t) is a Catholic-focused platform with over 56,000 subscribers. It publishes narrative-driven videos, often using AI-generated or manipulated audio to present sensational, "behind-the-scenes" stories and supposed private revelations within the Vatican.

Much of the channel's content focuses on dramatic, fabricated, or heavily embellished sermons and warnings attributed to "Pope Leo XIV". Viewers should be aware that similar accounts on YouTube have previously faced platform suspensions for deceptive practices and spreading unverified or fraudulent claims.

Duly noted.

No surprise to anyone that someone with an agenda - whatever that might be - would be motivated to do so.

Here’s his message upon receiving an award from the National Constitution Center (Fourth of July) to the United States and the world:

Pope Leo did excommunicate members of SSPX, the Society of St Pius X, after they consecrated four new bishops in open defiance of the Pope's warning and pleas to turn back from creating a schism within the church.

Pope Leo is open to dialogue but absolutely firm on what he will not accept. The ultra-conservatives will be howling but the proclamation is clear:

No more under my watch.

The mark of a true leader.

Mostly Cardinals and Bishops, seem to be on the defensive with this Pope.

This video doesn't seem to be trustworthy to me. How does the narrator know what was said.

Questionable, all around.

I'll go see if there is other news about any of this.
