Tom Hanks has warned fans that an ad for a dental plan that appears to use his image is in fact fake and was created using artificial intelligence.

In a message posted to his 9.5 million Instagram followers, the actor said his image was used without his permission. “BEWARE!! There’s a video out there promoting some dental plan with an AI version of me. I have nothing to do with it,” Hanks wrote over a screenshot of a computer-generated image of himself from the clip.

The Oscar winner has expressed concerns in the past about the use of AI in film and TV, although he has not shied away from approving digitally altered versions of himself in film.

Does it make sense for an internationally recognized actress to come into the Fediverse to explain too notch level critical thinking....hmm. Agree with the points - yep. Think it's actually Margot Robbie - doubtful.

I'm just applying the above rules

That's the beautiful thing. It doesn't really matter if she's actually Margot Robbie.

If she isn't, she's a person (probably - AI/ML systems are really good at tricking us these days) that posts generally amusing, positive, and pro-labor things.

If she is Margot Robbie, then, she's a person that posts generally amusing, positive, and pro-labor things, while also having been publicly recognized as being skilled and talented at her day job.

Either way, it's someone that I'm glad is active on Lemmy.

That's a phrase that I was unfamiliar with. Thank you!
