THAT VIRAL AI-GENERATED INFLUENCER IS BASED ON A REAL PERSON. AND SHE’S FINE WITH THE ADS

Summary from the TLDR Marketing newsletter

A video went viral showing a woman ranting about “stanky body odor” while sitting in the front seat of a car. The woman, suspected of being an AI-generated influencer, has been revealed to be based on a real person, Ariel Marie. She consented for Arcads to use her likeness in a generative video tool that was then developed to create a video advertising hygienic wipes. Marie’s involvement has sparked discussions on ethical concerns and the boundary between reality and artificiality.
