Comment on TikTok ran a deepfake ad of an AI MrBeast hawking iPhones for $2 — and it's the 'tip of the iceberg'

Lol who gives a fuck. If you’re a massive influencer being deepfaked then who cares - fuck your brand being damaged, I’d just call it part of the role of having a job like that. If you’re a person who buys ads because an influencer is telling you then you’re also a moron and you’ll be scammed regardless.

While I understand and partially agree with your sentiment, the problem is tik tok just casually deepfaking people in general without their consent and without being clear about it

I sincerely doubt tiktok made the ad themselves though.

Well they decide to let it run rampandt and maybe even promote it actively within their algorithms.
You can be sure that any political video or anything relating to social issues such as racism will be promoted or hidden in accordance with the goals of the chinese government.

I’m not convinced it’s the mediums responsibility to check whether or not the ad itself has ascertained the license to use all of the media in it. Whether that’s photos in the background, music, or the likeness of the actor in it.
They should have proper scam checks, but that’s regardless of whether or not the ad uses deepfake.
