This is actually the first song where I would not have guessed it to be AI. I think the video is "performed" by a real human?

Yep, it is convincing. And it seems the video is performed by a human, although I did think it could be AI. They say in the description:

> I couldn't resist putting a face to this gem.

After saying it is AI:

> How people was touched by this version of « Papoutai » by stromae made by AI, I was also touched as y’all, as an independent Artist I wanted to put my emotions and my soul on this masterpiece

Is the uploader able to earn advertising revenue from Youtube for this?

Only until a copyright claim via contentid. But legally they are on the hook for mechanical royalty since this would be both a cover and unauthorized remix (current genai audio uses unlicensed audio for training data)
