YouTube doctor fake: groupBy Lee I-chia / Staff reporterA self-styled “doctor” sharing health-related content on YouTube is likely an artificial intelligence (AI)-generated character, Taiwan FactCheck Center said, while two Taipei hospitals confirmed that no such doctor works for them. “Doctor Chen Chi-ming” (陳志明醫師) had posted several videos sharing health-related content, mainly healthcare tips for middle-aged and elderly people. The channel, which is no longer listed on YouTube, had more than 23,000 subscribers at one point, with one video receiving 150,000 views. A screen grab from the YouTube channel of “Doctor Chen Chi-ming” is pictured on Sunday. The hospitals confirmed that no “Doctor Chen Chi-ming” works at their hospitals, and that his claim about a “breakthrough therapy” for diabetes does not exist, it said.
