The other day, @WalterandDebbie posted a video from youtube of Billy Graham claiming that Sunday worship is pagan- sun god etc... it appeared authentic..
@marks suggested that it was AI generated. I contacted the Billy Graham association and asked them. Please read the email below that they sent me confirming it is a fake AI generated video. They are asking for help.
Good job marks. This is REALLY DISTURBING. How can we ever trust any video again? on TV- or online?
If they can get away with it with someone like Billy Graham what about any one of us? They can make anyone say anything. Please bump this thread so all read this.

Thank you for reaching out to us regarding AI-generated Billy Graham sermons and channels on YouTube.
Dear --x-x-x
We are aware of the issue and working to mitigate the situation. Unfortunately, in this quickly evolving AI / social media environment, there are several complicating factors, and it can take weeks to successfully remove a video from YouTube (let alone an entire channel). As we continue to work through this challenge, we encourage you to visit Billy Graham Evangelistic Association for authentic content from Billy Graham and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.
If you come across fake Billy Graham YouTube channels or videos, we invite you to:
1. Send any additional relevant YouTube links to [email protected].
2. Share the official @billygraham link in the comments section of AI-generated videos if you are able.
Please join us in praying that this situation can be fully resolved, and that people won’t be thrown into confusion or led astray by these false videos.
May God bless you.
Sincerely,
K.C. James (tn)
