Not an example of fake research papers, but what I presume is an AI generated series of Youtube videos. The link is to the home page of "Principals for Success" Youtube channel. If a person runs across one of these videos on Youtube the first thought might be "this is from Ray Dalio, a successful hedge fund manager. Might have something worthwhile". Yet these questionable videos I have found if you click on the link below them to their home page you will soon figure out it is not published by Ray Dalio at all. It just uses his picture to lure people in. Then the next part I am speculating because I do not know enough about AI to be certain. But I presume someone is using AI to go out and search from the web anything Ray Dalio may have said and compiles this into an article then AI mimics a voice that kind of sounds like Ray Dalio. So any uninformed person might think it is actually Ray Dalio giving the presentation. But what if he has changed his mind on something he said ten or twenty years ago?

I watched an interview with Ray Dalio the other day. A real interview. The fake AI voice sounds pretty good like him, but you can tell is is more like something reading from a script of book. Not like someone live actually thinking and saying what they are thinking. More like a canned read speech, sometimes with even some errors in pronunciation.

Notice some of the videos have only a few or a few hundred views. Yet they keep churning them out.

I am probably spending way too much time worrying about this. But I see it only getting worse as time goes on. During the last six months I have become way more skeptical about many of the videos on line. Jordan Peterson is another influencer that AI generated stuff seems to be popular. What I have found that aids me to see if a video is a legitimate one by that person or someone else or something else is actually publishing it is to just look below the video and click on the link to their home Youtube page. It becomes pretty evident if it is actually put out by that person or something just generated by things that person has said in the past by some other intelligence, artificial or not. Then I avoid anything else by that particular Youtube account.

I could be wrong about all this. Maybe the above link is actually produced and promoted by Ray Dalio???? I don't think so because nowhere in the description does it actually say if is by or from him directly.

Is there any good information? Maybe, maybe not. But it seems underhanded to make videos that appear to be by that person if they are actually not. This is at the bottom of one of the video's. Looks like the channel started two months ago.
