MrBeast Calls Out TikTok, for Allowing Deepfake Version
of Him to Stay on Platform.
TikTok recently ran an ad of an AI version of
MrBeast offering iPhone 15s for $2, Insider reports.
The sponsored video
appeared official with
MrBeast's logo and a
verified check mark
by his name.
But internet-savvy users saw through the gimmick immediately, Insider reports.
Wow! TikTok you're so
good at moderating ads, TikTok user.
MrBeast confirmed that he
had nothing to do with the ad.
Lots of people are getting this
deepfake scam ad of me… are
social media platforms ready to
handle the rise of AI deepfakes?
This is a serious problem, MrBeast, via X.
The ad has since been taken down. .
Days ago, Tom Hanks also took
to social media to warn fans
about an unauthorized AI version
of himself promoting a dental
plan on the internet.
Generative AI expert Henry Ajder says deepfakes
are likely to become more prevalent. .
Realism, efficiency, and
accessibility or democratization
means that now this is essentially
in the hands of everyday people. , Henry Ajder, generative AI and deepfake expert, via Insider.
It really is a quite profound
moment and this really is
the tip of the iceberg, Henry Ajder, generative AI and deepfake expert, via Insider
