I saw some Ai generated videos saying it broke up but there are amateur astronomers filming it as we speak. You are saying it broke up but still looks the same, or? Because sometimes I dont understand if "broken up" means what I think it does. To me it should be gone if that happened?

There are still daily articles from Loeb talking about it. This one is from a few hours ago:

Thats not whats happening at all. I have read Loebs posts and seen his videos about this comet. He says we should be open to the possibility of it being something else than a comet. He doesnt say "omg aliens" at all. Have you read his medium posts?
As for Youtubers, sure, tons of Ai generated shitty videos to make money, yeah.
Yeah ive noticed this about the reactions to the comet. There are two camps, one who thinks Loeb is all the negative things you said, and another who thinks he makes a lot of sense.
Either way, I think the comet is very interesting and look forward to following it the coming weeks. :)
