AI-generated videos are becoming more difficult to distinguish from reality. We already have fake YouTubers playing Fortnite and Minecraft

I can’t help but marvel at the breathtaking pace of artificial intelligence advancements, and it’s fascinating to ponder what lies ahead. Just recently, some videos have shown us a glimpse into the future where entire gameplays could potentially be generated, complete with commentary from online creators. It’s mind-blowing to think about the possibilities!
