An ad interrupted my video today, it was Tom Hanks in a podcast talking about his prostate.
The ad was (not so obviously) AI generated; both an AI clone of his voice and an AI-generated face-swap/ lip replacement.
This seemed pretty surprising because it was fairly convincing. He looks like he is saying the dialog of the ad.
It's surprising because there's no way the creator of the ad got Hanks' approval to use his likeness; meanwhile Youtube is profiting by selling the ad. Seems illegal, yet i'm forced to watch the garbage.
The ad in general is part of a similar trend I've been seeing of these AI generated voices speaking fast about prostates or large eggplants (if you know what I mean) used with influencers' or podcasters' likenesses. I would never click on the garbage, and it's probably a scam anyway.
I just scratch my head wondering if this massive company realizes the garbage they are forcing into our lives.
