I think the problem is at the other end: the ads.

And platforms.

Some AI ad of Tom Hanks peddling a supplement, or a sexy ad of AI Taylor Swift, shouldn't be distributed en masse in the first place, just because an algorithm or ad engine picked it up as engagement bait. It's insane! There is nothing normal about it, and its about time we stop pretending the screwed up platforms profiting off this stuff are "free speech" and acceptable.

...Because scammers are always gonna scam. But they can only do this because the platforms are pourinf fuel on the fire.
