“I like to help people and this project allows me to do that.” In a video circulating on social media, the voice of Tibo InShape promotes an obscure application that would allow him to “get very rich.”
Better yet, it is the TF1 news presenter Anne-Claire Coudray who launches the “report” to praise the so-called application of the first YouTuber in France.
Obviously all this is false and it was Tibo InShape himself who wanted to warn his subscribers. “Please be careful with this scam, I have received many messages, do not be fooled.”
The video, less than a minute long, uses the latest advances in artificial intelligence to perfectly reproduce the tone of voice of the content creator and the TF1 journalist. For the latter, lip-syncing with the fake text was even especially careful.
“Turnkey” tools
The app is not listed on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, nor can it be found on Google, but this is often the case with this type of scam. According to Internet users, the names change periodically and it probably exists under another name. Using online casino codes is, at best, an illegal game in France and, at worst, a fake application to steal from users.
But in the case of this video, what is most impressive is the effectiveness of the AI tools when reproducing voices. Turnkey software like Eleven Labs allows you to clone voices to make them say anything.
This false advertising will probably return in another form, perhaps with another usurped personality. In recent months, Florent Pagny and Anthony Delon have warned their audiences against these deepfakes that proliferate on social networks.
