AI is a controversial topic at the moment. With how quickly applications like ChatGPT and Midjourney are evolving, it becomes harder and harder to distinguish it from the real thing.

Tom Hanks Warns Fans About AI Version Promoting Dental Plan
AI has been making rapid progress and stuff like deepfakes, or AI versions of celebrities, have become almost indistinguishable from reality.
Obviously, many people are concerned about how this new step in technology might be used. It seems like Tom Hanks was one of the first celebrities who had his face used without their consent.
On Instagram, the 67-year-old warned fans about an AI doppelgänger of his, trying to sell a dental plan looking like a younger version of the actor.
BEWARE!! There's a video out there promoting some dental plan with an AI version of me. I have nothing to do with it.
Kinda weird how celebrities now have to release statements about scams they weren't even involved in to begin with.
Oh, if you're curious about how realistic the AI version looks, here's the post.
It's pretty terrifying to think about the possible uses of AI in the near future, especially in Hollywood. No wonder the SAG-AFTRA strike has certain demands regarding a regulated and limited use of AI in the industry.
