- Michael V has taken to social media to warn the public about a fake ad

Kapuso Comedy Genius Michael V just shared an alarming post on social media. On his socmed pages on Saturday, May 31, Bitoy warned the public about a fake advertisement.

In his post, the comedian shared a video of the ad that made use of his identity.

Bitoy’s face and voice were used in the video, which was apparently manipulated using artificial intelligence (AI), to promote a WiFi modem.

The “Bubble Gang” and “Pepito Manaloto” star then denied having any link to the advertisement or company involved in the video.

“Warning: This FAKE AD was created using A.I. (Artificial Intelligence),” he wrote on the video.

“A.I. was used to replace my mouth movement. They used A.I. para pag-aralan at gayahin 'yung real voice ko. The user created a script para i-lipsync ng mouth animation,” Bitoy stressed.

As per the comedian, the user even wrote fake comments to make the ad more believable.

“Dinoktor din nila 'yung comments para malinis.”

“Maging alisto. Huwag magpaloko. Always check my official socmed accounts for my endorsements,” he then advised.

In the caption, Bitoy also urged all netizens to stay vigilant amid the spread of fake online content.

“Ang Artificial Intelligence (A.I.), masyado nang tumatalino. Dapat matuto tayong maging mapanuri kung ang pinapanood o binabasa ay fake o totoo.”

He also asked the public, “Please REPORT and share.”
