Known as “deepfakes<\/strong>,” these kinds of creations use various AI tools to impersonate the image and even the voice of various individuals, especially celebrities, making them say and do almost anything the creators can imagine<\/strong>. Who has been the victim this time? None other than the popular MrBeast<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Posted as an ad on TikTok<\/strong>, a now-removed video showed a supposed MrBeast conducting a “giveaway” of 10,000 iPhone 15 Pro in exchange for a $2 entry fee<\/strong>. The video not only featured MrBeast’s logo but also displayed his name alongside a blue verification symbol (embedded in the video).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
