Submission statement: „From peddling snake oil on social media, to backing foreign coups. Some actors who were desperate to make a quick buck are now learning of the horrifying consequences of selling their likenesses to companies that use them in AI videos, [*Agence France-Presse* reports](https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/04/17/tech/ai-sale-regret/).
South Korean actor Simon Lee, for example, found that his image was being used to promote „questionable health cures“ on TikTok and Instagram. And the terms of his contract meant there was nothing he could do to get the videos removed.
„If it was a nice advertisement, it would’ve been fine to me,“ Lee told *AFP*. „But obviously it is such a scam.““
You best start believing in sci fi stories, Miss Turner
You’re in one.
Great movie about this, The Congress. Best watched without seeing any trailers
“Thank god they only used my face to make AI porn. I don’t think I could handle being accused of supporting another coup.”
Straight from Black Mirror. As could have been predicted.
Horrified? That something they sold to use however the buyer wants is used … however the buyer wants.
Isn’t that what selling means?
If only there was a way they could have known that a contracxt stipulating „broad, perpetual and irrevocable […] ownership or unrestricted rights to use a creator’s voice, image and likeness across any medium“ meant what it said.
They’re lucky there was no clause about leopards eating their face.
It’s so cute that they still think anyone will have any say in what happens with their digital likeness for much longer.
The days of any feasible sort of digital rights management are rapidly coming to an end.
The face doesn’t matter much if they don’t include their bodies imo.
I get some Tom Hanks ad on YouTube once in a few cycles for some dietary something or other.
I recommend the 2013 move „the congress“ – one might spot some similarities to whats going on.
