I'm calling it now: Google is going remove a ton of parody and satire that should have been protected speech and well-meaning people will struggle against poorly designed and frequently abused trigger happy automated systems.

The best we can hope for is a lawsuit that will result in a slap on the wrist for Google and lots of money gifted to lawyers while never making whole the people who were negatively impacted by Google's failure to invest in reasonable review practices.

Parody and satire are sadly not acceptable everywhere.

The days of David Attenborough tangent into W40K is numbered. I know it couldn't last. Not sure if the author use AI as well for the script but it was at least decent.

There was also Half Life news parody videos using newscaster and political figures of the 2000 period. Though I think they are too niche to get noticed.
