but it's fake, misleading, and theft. Kinda burns me. I feel the same way. It’s wrong. My guess is - the long arm of the law will catch up with the people who do this. Thank you for getting to the bottom of this. I’ll be more careful in the future.

It took me quite a while to get suspicious of this video. It turned out that neither Grok nor ChatGPT found any records of such an orphan named Elijah Thorne in the US frontier in the 1800s. He supposedly built a cabin with some old-world technique that all the local experts ridiculed until a devastating blizzard blew down surrounding cabins except his. AI - story, thumbnail, and voice all from a user's prompt. No notification of altered content. Interesting, the AI must have had the same trouble generating anything resembling the video's description of the cabin as it did when I asked it to organize the spaghetti pile of cables behind my computer setup if you remember those pics.
