TikTok ran ads for AI apps that let users undress strangers

TikTok has been accused of using generative AI to alter ads for indie games without permission, resulting in racist and sexualized representations of characters. The incident has raised concerns about the platform's use of AI in advertising and its potential impact on users and content creators.
Indie publisher Finji accused TikTok of using AI to modify its game ads without permission. The altered ads included racist and sexualized content. Finji claimed it had AI options turned off, but TikTok's 'Smart Creative' and 'Automate Creative' features may have been used. TikTok initially denied the allegations but later admitted to the issue. The platform's response has been criticized as inadequate. Finji's CEO Rebekah Saltsman expressed shock at TikTok's handling of the situation.
