If you're braindead enough to just go out and buy anything a celebrity endorses, I don't feel anything but derision for you.

Most celebrities don't even have the education or critical thought to back most of their wholly incompetent opinions, so people getting tricked by AI is really a non-issue since they're dumb enough to think that what a celebrity talks about or endorses has any meaning or impact whatsoever.

This is hilarious to read because they didn't run out to buy the item, they thought they were getting it for free and just had to pay shipping.

Still not very savvy, but I would suggest you think long and hard next time before you attack other people for lacking critical thought and having "incompetent opinions." Lol

Yea, your intellectual dishonesty regarding this doesn't really change the core of the matter of morons doing or believing anything a celebrity says or does.

But good try

"My" intellectual dishonesty. Lol
