Vodafone is experimenting with AI-generated presenters in their TikTok advertisements, creating artificial influencers that exhibit telltale signs of generative AI like unnatural hair movement and facial expressions. The company justifies this approach by stating that AI has become integral to everyday life, following a broader trend of fake AI influencers gaining popularity in digital marketing campaigns for major brands.

The influencer in this AI Vodafone ad isn’t real

Sidenote: Even ‘real’ influencers are pretty fake most of the time.

that was obvious, the front 2 teeth… funny size. Plus the hair, let be real, nothing is more real than AI hair, even real hair is afraid of it.

Don’t talk about my girl friend like that.

I don’t know if AI influencers would be more fake than human ones already are.

i’ve never been good at visually discerning when something is AI-generated…maybe i’m AI-generated 😨🤖
