Korean Soccer Star Used in Deep Fake Ad to Promote Illegal Gambling Site
This is a scary indication of the world we now live in where you cannot even trust videos you see because they may be deep fakes. Hopefully Son Heung-min is able to sue this gambling website for using his image and likeness without permission:
Illegal advertisements using artificial intelligence(AI) to create entirely fake news reports and endorsements by celebrities such as football star Son Heung-min are rampant, especially on social media. Authorities are now strongly warning consumers to be on alert.
Rosyn Park has this report.An ad making the rounds online appears to show the famous footballer Son Heung-min speaking as a PR ambassador for Kangwon Land, a resort and casino in South Korea.
The video is promoting an illegal gambling site, using AI-manipulated images and audio to replicate Son.
The Korea Consumer Agency(KCA) said it monitored online gambling ads posted on Facebook for two months, starting in August, and identified 38 cases of false advertising, including some that used deepfakes.

Welcome to the new world where seeing is not necessarily believing.
In fact, we had a near miss here.
There was some concern our very own Korea Thing had been victimized by Deep Fake technology.
Fortunately, it was a false alarm and the picture of him remained unmodified.
Ah yes.
ChickenHead, excuse me @setnaffa is afraid that we have figured out the sham that was created via his Chinese and Russian funded laptop farm scam.
This is certainly Article 2 of the Articles of Setnaffarism.
Article 2
Should others present facts that do not fit with the world that exists only in the world of Setnaffarism™ fight vigorously against it.
For if the others look over the facts and find them to be true, it will show that the world that exists only in in the world of Setnaffarism™ is not true and that the ideals of Setnaffarism™ are a sham.
If necessary, call those who present the facts, “Communists” and “leftists”, and carry out vigorous personal attacks, if this helps to discredit them.
Korea Thing is a proud Setnaffarismist!
Article 2: “If necessary, call those who present the facts, “Communists””
Korea Thing: “the sham that was created via his Chinese and Russian funded laptop farm scam.”
Article 2: “Should others present facts that do not fit with the world that exists only in the world of Setnaffarism™ fight vigorously against it.”
Korea Thing: “ChickenHead, excuse me @setnaffa is afraid that we have figured out the sham…” the SHAM! Everybody should fight against the SHAM!
Maybe I will study the Articles of Setnaftafarinamisticism after all!
More insight than I expected!
