YouTube bans two popular channels that created fake AI movie trailers

SMRTR summary

YouTube banned two popular channels, Screen Culture and KH Studio, for creating fake AI-generated movie trailers that violated the platform's spam and misleading-metadata policies. The channels heavily featured Disney properties and mixed AI content with real trailer footage, with Screen Culture producing 23 fake trailers for The Fantastic Four that outranked official content in searches. This action comes amid Disney's recent legal pressure on Google, including a cease-and-desist letter citing concerns about AI content featuring Disney characters.
