A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

Considering they are using deepfake videos to provide fake celebrity endorsements, I would say that AI is certainly a big component.

You could also say electricity or copper is a large component of it but I would argue that it's really just another tool being used to fleece victims. I don't feel the issue here is AI or is even largely exacerbated by AI. There are no ramifications to the people that are behind the scams. That's the real problem.
