The rise in generative AI technology has made scamming people online much easier, with fake versions of Tom Hanks, Mr. Beast, and other celebrities often appearing in online ads. YouTube still has a problem with fraudulent advertisements, as I've learned from my own YouTube feed over the past few months.
You can hear it in the voices. The weird part is, I could completely see Rogan and Phil agreeing to do these kind of ads if it didn’t have repercussions. I wonder if that’s the plan.
