AI-Generated YouTube Channel Goes Viral with Bizarre, Disturbing Voiceovers and Fake News

YouTube is grappling with a growing issue of AI-generated slop—lazy, low-effort content that floods the platform. This includes pseudo-educational videos targeting toddlers, fake movie trailers, and now, bizarre long-form channels that push disinformation. Some creators are even curating playlists labeled “no AI” to reassure viewers frustrated by the trend.

Despite YouTube’s attempts to curb this issue—often described as a symbolic game of Whack-a-Mole—many problematic channels remain active. One such channel, Joe Liza WWE, has drawn attention for its unsettling content. Created in 2007 and amassing nearly 2,000 subscribers, the channel posts videos up to two hours long about the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) industry, interspersing real footage with clips from the video game WWE 2K.

The most disturbing aspect? The AI-generated voiceovers. A user on Bluesky recently highlighted how the channel’s recent uploads feature a male AI narrator that repeatedly melts down into nonsensical, repetitive speech. One video, now made private, had the AI narrator cycle through variations of the words “what” and “whoa” in increasingly erratic tones, culminating in obscene mouth noises. Other videos show the AI host stumbling over the same word, as pointed out by commenters.

“I’m crying bro, this is the funniest sh*t ever,” one commenter wrote. Another user remarked in the comments of a 26-minute video, “So are we gonna talk about the AI voiceover having a f***ing stroke four minutes in or what.”

The account may be exploiting YouTube’s algorithms to attract viewers through recommendations or auto-play, though it’s unclear if the channel is monetized. To qualify for the YouTube Partner Program, channels need either 1,000 subscribers or 4,000 public watch hours in the past 12 months. Beyond the creepy voiceovers, the channel also spreads disinformation. One video falsely claims, “WWE Legends Reveal Why Chuck Norris Was Killed,” suggesting the martial artist and actor died under suspicious circumstances in March, despite reports confirming his death in a hospital following a medical emergency. Another video erroneously states that wrestler Jade Cargill was “arrested for attacking [Australian pro wrestler] Rhea Ripley.”

It remains unclear who operates the Joe Liza WWE channel. The first video uploaded by the account dates back to 2007, but its recent activity has sparked widespread concern among viewers.
