Chariz Solomon warns vs. fake online gambling ad using her photo
Chariz Solomon has warned the public against a fake online gambling advertisement using her photo.
On Instagram, the Kapuso comedienne shared a screenshot of an online gambling ad featuring Chariz's photo. It was posted by a certain account called JL18 - Daily Promotions.
"FAKE!!!!" Chariz wrote across the screenshot.
The "Your Honor" host also affirmed that she does not promote gambling of any kind.
"Hindi po ako nagpopromote ng online gambling, kahit offline gambling pa 'yan. Maging mapanuri po tayo. Maraming salamat po!" she said in the caption.
Recently, Chariz's fellow comedian Pokwang warned the public that she is not an endorser of gambling. This was after a Facebook account, called JL16 Bigwin, used a clip of Pokwang from one of her live selling videos and overlaid it with AI-generated audio to promote online gambling.
Pokwang affirmed that she does not endorse online ambling and called on the public to be vigilant against deepfakes, also known as videos or images generated through rtificl intelligence (AI).
According to a previous report by Raffy Tima on "24 Oras" in December 2024, deepfake content is becoming widespread, with the government and experts expressing concern about its role in the spread of disinformation.
Aside from copying a person's likeness, deepfake content can also make them speak in different languages and deliver false messages.
Carlo Nazareno, the Director for Rights of Democracy.net.ph, gave tips on how to
spot deepfakes, such as observing a person's physical features in the video and the video's actual message.
"Tingnan mo na mabuti 'yung ngipin habang nagsasalita. Minsan nagwa-warp 'yung ngipin, pati 'yung labi. So, 'yun 'yung isang bantayan. Pero 'yung pinakababantayan natin 'yung mensahe mismo. Tanungin natin kung may parang agenda ba itong video na pinapanood natin," he had said.
Data analyst and AI ethics advocate Dominic Ligot echoed the same sentiments, advising social media users to scrutinize the context and message of the video and study its source.
