Non tech-focused AI scam:

A story from a couple months ago that I heard about just now from the scam goddess podcast.
this was of course the toast of the UK press and Twitter
they're doing a parody of it in LA, which looks like rubbish but they're flying over the Oompa Loompa actor so if she gets a paying gig out of it then fine
This is the worst timeline.
But if this is the actor's break then hey I agree something good comes out of it.
I saw some other pictures of her, and not just the bored meme picture everybody has seen, and she really tried to make the best of it for all the kids coming, so really hope it works out for her.
