Indie Publisher Alleges TikTok is AI-Generating Offensive Ads Using Its Characters
Finji CEO Rebekah Saltsman has called out TikTok for allegedly using AI to generate ads that are offensive and hurtful to her company. In a statement, Saltsman expressed her frustration with TikTok's lack of accountability and sense of responsibility.
According to Saltsman, TikTok has been using AI to generate ads that feature her company's characters in a way that is derogatory and hurtful. Despite her repeated attempts to contact TikTok and address the issue, Saltsman claims that the company has failed to take action.
Saltsman's allegations come as a surprise to many in the gaming industry, who had previously praised TikTok for its innovative approach to advertising. However, Saltsman's experience suggests that TikTok's AI-powered ads may be causing more harm than good.
The incident has sparked a heated debate about the role of AI in advertising and the need for greater accountability and transparency in the industry. As the use of AI in advertising continues to grow, it is clear that companies must take steps to ensure that their AI-powered ads are respectful and responsible.
