YouTube says fans want to put themselves in AI videos. For music, the next step is putting artists in places they never agreed to be

A YouTube Culture & Trends report says 72% of surveyed US video posters aged 14 to 44 use AI on their videos or images, and 61% want to use it to insert themselves into content. Music Ally points to the music version of the trend, fan-made AI videos that swap one star into another's music video, and the question YouTube's blog post on the report never asks is who agreed to it.
