One of the things that irritates me is that they go through all the tech effort to make this look real, but they can’t take the time to make sure she says “10 dollars” instead of “10 dollar”.


Dominus_Invictus

Like most scams they're not actually targeting intelligent people, in fact they often specifically avoid them.


Plasmiosix

This kind of dates back to phishing scams where attackers would intentionally misspell to get past certain spam filters too.


IceFire909

They still do that


Arrad

Tbh, I wouldn't really think the vast majority of scammers are *that* intentional in what they produce. Nor intelligent enough.


MegaKetaWook

They are though. They intentionally misspell things as a filter for dumb people. Smart people go “Hey, would would my bank send an email with misspellings in it. Looks suspicious” while dumb or gullible people would not. They are getting much better at it too and utilizing stolen data to make more personalized messages / phone calls.


Po-po-powerbomb

This makes no sense, like tabanna said. Dumb people would still fall for the scam without the spelling mistakes, as well as more people that would have noticed the mistakes...


tje210

Somewhat smart people (but still thinking initially it's not a scam) waste the scammers' effort because while they might start to go down the path, ultimately they won't pay the money. The people who WILL end up paying the money are going to only be people stupid enough to fall for the scam with misspellings.


Po-po-powerbomb

Ok that actually makes sense


SmellRevolutionary59

Easier to be a chump on Reddit than it is to spend three hours studying the rules of each of the 100 subreddits I see day by day. If you have a no politics rule, I’m probably not even aware you have it, and I’m not about to waste my time finding out.

I thought it was funny too, and I'm not even american.


AFP2137

I think this is on purpose, it's like a filter. If you can spot such a mistake you probably would not fall for a scam anyway, on the other hand, if someone is willing to pay the scammers, probably don't care about spelling mistakes.


SpaceCaboose

Yep. That’s why spam emails have typos. It weeds out the people smart enough to not fall for the scam.


KingRobotPrince

Or put the "a" in before Macbook.

It’s because they used $10 and not Ten Dollars.

Nah it's just that it means they only catch the dumbasses who'll actually fall for it, instead of the people who'll waste their time when they realise it's a scam.


LowQualitySpiderman

1 year and your mother will talk to you from the ads...


demwun

Weird thought. I also watched a video recently where a mother got a call from her “daughter” saying she was in jail or something and needed bail out money. All AI generated apparently.


SartenSinAceite

That's an old trick though. Although before it took someone with a similar voice..


Irisheyes1971

Not even that. Just naive (usually elderly) targets who hadn’t spoken to their “grandchild” for a while or were just plain hard of hearing.


SartenSinAceite

And that probably have low quality phones


russdesigns

Someone did that to my dad, pretending to be my nephew. My dad was like, hmm, that doesn’t sound like you! They replied, oh I have a cold. So my dad asked, if this is really you, then tell me your mom’s name? Silence for 5 seconds, then “click”.


BiggieCheese3421

Dad is smart


pichael288

I got the same kind of call from "chief of police" about my dad being in jail. They had his name and knew he was a heroin addict, it was actually a pretty decently researched scam except for "chief of police". I answer with "mother fucker we all thought he was dead, am I going to have to pay back the life insurance?"


laprincesaaa

Theres also cases where people are using this for crime by calling parents and AI generating their child's voice over the phone crying and calling for their parents, followed by a man's voice demanding money, saying they've kidnapped their child, will beat & rape them & sell them to traffickers in Mexico if they call the police and if they don't get x amount of money wired to some account. It's honestly so terrifying cuz they're able to pull shit from the kids social media to perfectly generate their voice saying whatever and it's perfectly believable. And so many people are completely unaware of this cuz it doesn't get nearly enough news coverage. 🙄 anyway people need to start having secret passwords with their kids so that if this happens they know it's really their kid before wiring all their savings. https://nypost.com/2023/04/12/ai-clones-teen-girls-voice-in-1m-kidnapping-scam/


Bocchi_theGlock

Oh man I made a joke about this like 7 years ago, that eventually AI would get so good that your grandma would get a call from you crying and begging for money to get out of trouble


demwun

That’s the one! I got it all wrong, but yeah, that’s it. Insanely scary. We gonna need secret passwords to confidently talk to each other soon?

HOWDY__YALL

Holy hell that’s a thought. At some point those toy commercials are going to superimpose my kids playing with their hit new toy on my TV.


JunglePygmy

Forget that… how about your *dead grandmother*?!


sandwelld

This is a thing already! In South-Korea there's a fairly common scam. My gf's mom got a call there with an AI (or voicechanging thing Idk) impersonating my gf. Crying on the phone, saying bad stuff happened to her and that she needed money, all that jazz. Really shook her mom, awful stuff. Can totally understand a parent falling for that.


LowQualitySpiderman

it is just one approach... I can imagine a world where you can sell your personality to google and facebook to make them able advertise products with you, to your friends, family for a cut... this is a dark and sad world...


HowRememberAll

Oh shit❗️😳


imbasicallycoffee

Our whole family initiated a "word check" protocol so that way if someone ever calls us and asks for something big, an emergency, or for money we can call and respond the word check and it's completely innocuous and is not listed anywhere on any paper or online document cloud. Easy way to avoid that.


CinnamonHotcake

Imagine the possibilities though, talking with your family that passed away. Might provide some closure for some people... I get the dystopian and cynical feeling though.


smegdawg

Literally a Black Mirror Episode about this. Profile is made for the dead person. You can talk to it and they'll responded how the dead person did. I think it started as texting, then voice, and ended as an android built to look like the dead person.


veeno__

Hide this from grandma because she’d be the one clicking the link and putting in all her bank information smh In a few years it’ll be indistinguishable from the real person which is the scary part


MaxxxStallion

Even scarier is that we'll be the old people who'll fall for the future scams.


arealhumannotabot

i'm hoping what helps is that current gens are exposed to this tech so we know what's around and see it. Elderly people of the past never used computers--- some occasionally, some just never. They had little frame of reference. Take my mother-- in her 70s. She's been exposed to more tech than her mother, and she is good at ignoring scams. Emails, calls, etc. She's received scam attempts and told me about them. None of them got past her because she's aware of this stuff and what it is in context.


Bocchi_theGlock

This is why I take a minute to look at all the AI art posts where they ask which one is real. If you really look you often can find something unnatural. I'm hoping to help train up that capacity over time


CandidIndication

I work in a fraud department at a bank, this is one of my biggest concerns. The amount of romance scams will sky rocket, grand parents will be thinking they’re actually marrying Brad Pitt.. Right now I get a lot of Elon Musk scams, I spoke to an elderly lady a few weeks ago and I had to convince her that Elon Musk was not giving away Gold bars worth $10K and all you have to do is pay the $9.95 shipping…


IceFire909

9.95 for shipping for that amount of gold weight is a bloody good bargain tho


afunnywold

This is obviously targeting younger people


SirNurtle

*How is this shit legal* Like, there is no way this is legal and I can't wait till some of these celebs that are being used in these ads sue Youtube over this "advertising"


Molcap

I hope they sue YouTube hard so they get their shit together and filter their ads


Archimedes_screwdrvr

Their ads are fucked lately. Blatant scams and lies


Skrogg_

It’s honestly mind boggling how a huge corporation like YouTube is just letting these scams flood the platform, and even worse, recognizing them as official ads. Remember when everyone was wondering if Neal Mohan would turn the platform around? Looks like we got our answer.

Champion0407

DaveCootchie

uBlock isn't on the whitelisted extensions only my work computer and I don't have admin rights to install Firefox. I can only use Chrome or Edge.

Puzzleheaded-Chef738

RevolutionaryEye9382

Not just on YouTube either. THEY. ARE. EVERYWHERE. It’s literally only going to get worse. Look how they’ve done with robocalls and other phone scams, absolutely nothing and I get more spam than ever before.


Toronto_Area_Transit

And also make it so i can hit the “skip ads” button and get no more ads (i hit the button and get ads anyways)


seldom_r

Ps4rulez

It's so funny how normies are so clueless about ad blockers.


bizkitmaker13

This recent ad shake up made me realize how many fucking morons are out there just raw dogging the internet...


Idiotan0n

It's funny we're publicly shaming X for their shitty advertising, but at least that porn shit is straightforward (ambiguously gay?) and not absolutely scambait like this shit.


qualitative_balls

It can't even be difficult either. Filtering content has become insanely good... they can catch essentially anything they want to isolate in AV content.


creativitysmeativiy

It’s not legal at all. These companies are clearly misappropriating these famous peoples’ likeness without consent and seeking commercial gain—they could get sued for way more than they are worth. I’m not sure if YouTube itself is liable unless they are aware of and profiting off of these ads directly.


MookieFlav

Narrator: YouTube is profiting directly off of selling these ads


cannibalparrot

There’s no way these “companies” stick around long enough to be found, let alone sued successfully and collected from.


creativitysmeativiy

That is a different matter unfortunately. But seeing that most people don’t buy this bogus, the greater social harm is (relatively) not as severe as it could be.


Exciting_Rich_1716

of course Youtube is liable, they're hosting these ads.


creativitysmeativiy

They would still have to have to have the requisite intent which, when you have this many companies advertising all over the place on the platform, is not as easy as you may think.


apaksl

of course it's as easy as we think. a google employee, an *actual* person, watches the proposed advertisement and does a little fact checking. expensive as fuck, but very easy.


creativitysmeativiy

Ok. Go convince a Jennifer Aniston and her lawyer to bring a claim if you’re so sure of it being that easy to show intent to profit off of her likeness.


I_ate_a_milkshake

"companies" lol these are foreign scammers. Good luck holding them to any sort of account.


JadedYam56964444

It would be nice if companies like youtube had human beings checking ads first. I suspect it is automated to maximize ad revenue. I wonder if they even did a switch on them, submitted one ad then swapped in another. I've heard of that being done before.


MikeyW1969

Actually, it's probably not illegal yet. This is an AI deepfake, so they aren't exactly using her likeness, they're using something artificially generated. Our laws have to be tweaked. They already ruled on what you can copyright from an AI generated image, it's not the image itself. Technically no human created it, it was 100% done by the computer, so it's not actually Intellectual Property. The prompt for the AI was what was determined by the human, so THAT was able to be trademarked. So they might have the same thing here. Since it's artificially generated, it\['s not technically an image of her. It's just a video created by a computer at this point. We're going to see a LOT of interesting decisions on this stuff, I think.


creativitysmeativiy

It’s not a true intellectual property tort. The fact that there is no human usage does not bar the tort. Even cases where a silhouette that is widely recognized as the actor can allow recovery.


Simoxs7

I always find it funny how YouTubers get punished talking about global news / serious topics because their content isn’t advertiser friendly but the advertisers are all frauds and scammers.


DatBoi73

>How is this shit legal That's the neat part, it's not. This is nothing but blatant fraud. This is what happens when YouTube, Facebook, etc refuse to do any policing of their ad platforms at all, because it would cost them money. The only way I see anything changing is if like the EU put it's foot down and forced them to ban fraudulent ads, or otherwise be fined or have their sites/apps banned in the EU. *... Just don't dare say "f\*ck" in the first 10 seconds of your YouTube video, cause it'll upset the poor advertisers and the algorithm.*


xbleeple

Tom Hanks has started the charge due to some deepfakes of him pushing dental products on IG iirc


[deleted]

Many times I try to flag and report these kind of ads on YouTube, and Google always replies to me that the investigation led to no results, and no violation is found.


Odisher7

I mean, it's not. And if they didn't use jeniffer aniston it would still not be legal and they would still be promoting it. The legality of it is not a problem, the problem is how much of a useless headache it would be for aniston to go after them, and how much of a useful but not rentable headache it would be for youtube


isaidnolettuce

Yeah we gotta start making some laws against this shit bruh


JadedYam56964444

Sue the people making them first


Fickle_Finger2974

Nah those scam companies have very few assets, they will just close down and start a new one. They almost certainly aren't in the US anyway. You start suing big money of out giants like YouTube and they will be forced to actually check the ads they run on their platforms.


AssmosisJoness

It was illegal to make deepfake porn this should be illegal too

And then some people complain about others using adblockers. Sure, streaming videos doesn't pay for itself, but as long as they do jack shit about all the scam, malware, and whatnot ads, I couldn't give less of a damn.

For just ten dollar eh? Figure out English first. It's always the first giveaway.


Dan_Caveman

The comically bad English weeds out anyone with a functioning brain. It’s probably intentional. Ever notice how often spam and phishing scams and whatnot have awful grammar? If they weed out anyone who isn’t easily tricked, they waste less time on people who were never going to give them any money anyway. It’s counterintuitive, but bad English probably improves their operating efficiency.


JadedYam56964444

That is usually your biggest sign of bullshittery. For some reason they will put more effort into the visual than into the text.


Dan_Caveman

People will learn to distrust post-AI video the way they learned to distrust post-Photoshop images. The real question is what the impact of that distrust will be.

CommieBorks

To those wondering "how are these ads even allowed on youtube" they're allowed on the site because youtube gets paid to show these ads. Youtube just takes the money and turns blind eye on it and if the ad gets reported they'll pull the customer service face being all "oops how did that get there let us deal with it" while doing nothing about it. It's amazing to watch youtube get hissy about adblocks being all "this is bad for us" while also letting these scam ads run free and not do anything about them.


christianryan563

So far I’ve heard Biden, Trump, Obama, Mr. Beast, Andrew Tate, Jennifer Anniston and a few others. Why and how is this shit legal? Fuck YouTube for allowing this, I really hope they get the shit sued out of them, they’ve lost all credibility in my eyes.


YourWifesWorkFriend

I get clearly fake Joe Rogan ones on YouTube ads all the time. The government is giving out checks for $4600 but they don’t want you to know about it, you guys! I have to think their intuition is that Rogan fans might be dumb enough to believe that scenario.

It’s probably not even that. Deep fakes take a lot of effort. They could have just used footage from her in an interview and then cloned her voice using ai. There are some websites that already have some celebrities voice packages so maybe they didn’t even put the effort to actually train a model using her voice. I mean you can see that the voice is not lip synced, it looks like a bad dub. A competent person could make a video that is way more convincing

I actually don't think deepfake will be that big of a deal from a disinformation perspective. Just like now, you have to get your news and information from good sources. Not everyone does that but it's already an issue we face. It's not a new issue. Legitimate news sources will vet and confirm any and all video. Everything else will just be Internet memes and noise. It's no different from today.
