This is the best summary I could come up with:
The next day, CBS anchor Gayle King warned of a similar scheme using her likeness to sell a weight-loss product.
Also on Monday, YouTube celebrity MrBeast posted on social media network X about a similar scam that features a modified video of him with manipulated speech and lip movements promoting a fraudulent iPhone 15 giveaway.
As we've warned, convincing AI deepfakes are an increasingly pressing issue that may undermine shared trust and threaten the reliability of communications technologies by casting doubt on someone's identity.
Currently, companies like Google and OpenAI have plans to watermark AI-generated content and add metadata to track provenance.
Meanwhile, social media networks will likely need to step up moderation efforts, reacting quickly when suspicious content is flagged by users.
Almost a year later, with technology advancing rapidly, a small taste of that chaos is arguably descending upon us, and our advice could just as easily be applied to video and photos.
