On YouTube usually explicit and completely false. They are AI inventions. The problem is that they appear to be using existing recordings and singers to produce the video. At the moment, nobody has been hurt to my knowledge. However, the dangers are obvious. Imagine finding a selection of 'banned' songs using the voice of your favourite singer without his or her knowledge.

Here's one from Anita Hardcok, a banned 1940s song titled "It Isn't Gonna Eat Itself":

I assumed from the name "Hardcok" that Anita's songs were AI, but I didn't investigate the matter. You'll find much more at SuS Records.

Funny stuff, and musically almost perfect. In contrast, most other style imitations by AI sound fake as fake can be. I wonder whether a human composer helped a little.

Which is my worry. I'm told the originator of this material is a drag queen in the US. Good for him. However if he is using existing music and recordings of (in this case) an actual 1940's band and singer, or worse an existing band playing 1940's style, do they or their estate know? Red flags are waving. Who's or what is next if so?

I had seen these on YouTube occasionally, though I never listened to any of them. I wondered where these previously unknown bawdy recordings came from and now I have the answer!

Yeah, the Science Fiction of yesterday is now the Science Fact of today. (Sigh...)

I'll stick to my old Belle Barth and Ruth Wallis 78's!
