AI in advertising videos
The singer is accused of using generative artificial intelligence (AI) in short commercials of the album. The video was deleted from the official account Taylor Swift on YouTube.
Attentive Internet users have found anomalies on some images that sometimes give out AI.
On one of the videos, we see a bird feeder on which there is a sign with the inscription “honey”. What is wrong is that the font changes within 38 seconds while the video lasts.
