I agree - ads that depict dentists, firefighters, etc to sell things should use real dentists, firefighters, etc. not actors pretending.
I meant fake persons, not real persons faking their jobs, but I do agree with you.
I know. I just think it's disingenuous to disapprove of fakery using AI but approve of fakery people do on their own. To me it's like saying you're evil if you use a ladder instead of asking a tall person to reach things for you.
Or maybe actors and other workers don't want to be replaced by some tech that doesn't pay taxes. Just one of many problems with AI.
As someone with a doctorate in bullshittery I must take issue with your position here good sir.
