Comment on Deepfake celebrities begin shilling products on social media, causing alarm

I can’t help thinking that there are easy solutions to this. Mainly because I don’t take any notice of advertising, at least not in the sense that AI makes a difference.

I have no other exposure to it aside from where it’s being pointed out, such as here.

What I do is things like this:

When the ad break comes on, press the mute button.

When I can’t do that, I overtly ignore the ads, eg I will talk over them or fein extreme annoyance of them, or sometimes I ridicule or attack them with exaggeration. Sometimes all at once.

I have always hated being invaded by direct advertising, and I push back against it. But I also don’t watch reality TV or read celebrity news. I don’t tend to listen to commercial radio or use anything by Meta or X.

Ad before a TV episode? Skip.

YouTube ads? ReVanced.

Internet browser ads? Adblock.

Who follows an actor on social media, what’s the point, haven’t people got anything better to do?
