A TikTok advert in October 2023 showing a deepfaked MrBeast announcing that ten thousand people could get an iPhone 15 for two dollars, with his logo and a link. He posted the clip himself asking whether platforms were ready for the rise of AI deepfakes, which was the most-viewed thing about it. The record's entry for the scam that borrowed the internet's most trusted giveaway.
MrBeast iPhone Deepfake, October 2023. Died of its subject having a bigger audience than the platform's ad review. Survived by a year of copycats using smaller creators who could not do the same.
October 2023, the creator's post with millions of views and the ad itself with a fraction. The debunk outperformed the scam, which is not the usual order.
The record notes why he was the ideal target: his real videos already give away cars and houses, so an offer that would be absurd from anyone else was plausible from him.
What does it mean? Write it the way you would say it out loud.
