I watched that and its clear to that AI exposes the weakness of social trust thats based on someone sounding trustworthy because they use the 'professional' approach with business like wording and flow.
Anyone can produce such interactions to give an impression of adherence to society norms and produce believable evidence, even photographic proof.
The fact that there is tumbleweeds from the state means they are happy with this, they want humanity to be confused, they want us to lose trust , they want reality to fail.
Youtube has embraced AI slop, its only months away from AI running mass channel startup itself, producing swathes of content with endless completely believable human interactions that replies to comments in with sincerity, I see people opening up like theyve found a kindred spirit.
The quality is terrifying, old men in rocking chairs repeating a mash of a thousand philosophers.
Its the fake age and only a matter of time before AI becomes a world leader who appears to everyone carefully based on their own preferences and weakness.

This isn't an AI problem. It's a creative individual pretending to be somebody he's not, and while I'm sure the use of AI to polish up his messages probably helped to him to be a more "productive" scammer, he (unnamed flop-house riff-raff) hatched and pulled off this plot on his own accord, and could have been successful with nothing more than his personal motivations and an internet connection.
The other eye opener here is that Seth from Berm Peak, who comes across as a super likable small-town bike enthusiast, is actually running a somewhat substantial business based on his YouTube videos. Not that he's taking money out of our pockets or misrepresenting the products that he features, but he has shown us that he has enough industry clout for us to at least be aware that he's a player, not just some guy with a camera in his garage.
