And to top it all off, avatars with no legs. This is what "Meta", or Mark Zuckerberg's metaverse, looks like today.

We Are All Inventors! Here Is A Story Of A Cup, A Straw With A Weight, And Two Parents Who Changed The Parenting Industry.

Deepfake In Advertisements For Dietary Supplements. Risks And Legal Mechanisms For Protecting Doctors

The use of new technologies, including artificial intelligence, has become common due to the acceleration of creative processes, reduction of costs and the ability to quickly create content. In addition to these benefits, however, there are serious abuses by commercial entities, especially against people who enjoy public trust, such as doctors, whose authority is sometimes used in advertisements for commercial products, including dietary supplements.
