YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

It can be pretty difficult to tell what’s real from what’s not online. From AI videos being posted online by everyday people to President Trump posting photoshopped content, trying to parse through what’s fake from what’s not can feel a bit confusing to say the least.

Note: this episode was recorded on 6/11/25.
