Does an apple a day keep the AI away?Creators are calling bull on alleged deepfake doctors scamming social media users with unfounded medical advice.On TikTok, one search yields dozens of videos of women rattling off phrases like, 13 years as a coochie doctor and nobody believes me when I tell them this, before dishing so-called health secrets for perky breasts, snatched stomachs, chiseled jawlines and balanced pH levels.But the so-called experts arent even real. Theyre completely computer-generated by artificial intelligence. Eagle-eyed TikTokkers have called out alleged AI-generated doctors who claim to be experts in the medical field and offer nontraditional advice. TikTok / @locks_healthSome of the so-called doctors might claim to be experts in other fields diet, plastic surgery, breasts, butts, stomach and more and offer advice to cure or remedy viewers ailments or health concerns. One account has posted dozens of clips featuring the same woman, who claimed to have spent 13 years as a coochie and butt doctor. A different account features the exact same woman also spewing unfounded medical advice under the guise of being an alleged coochie doctor.Media Matters reported that the same gaggle of alleged deepfake characters have also appeared as salespeople for wellness products or claimed to have connections to Hollywood to dish insider gossip.The discrepancies are enough to raise a few eyebrows.One search for these informational clips yields dozens of results, and navigating to the users pages shows multiple videos utilizing the same creator claiming to be a butt, booty or coochie doctor, as well as a dieitian and plastic surgeon. TikTok / @locks_healthOne user claimed that the AI personalities come from the app Captions, which offers an generative AI tool for online videos. TikTok / @locks_healthJavon Ford, the creator of his namesake beauty brand, recently revealed that the AI-generated personalities can be manipulated on an app called Captions, which bills itself as a tool to generate and edit talking AI videos. The company claims that it has 100,000 daily users of the app, with over 3 million videos produced every month.But Ford called the service deeply insidious.You might have noticed a few of these creators on your For You page. None of them are real, he warned. @javonford16 Replying to @ladolcedana #hillmantok #education #skincare #haircare original sound Javon Ford Beauty In a TikTok video, he scrolled through an exhaustive list of AI avatars that users can choose from such as a woman named Violet, who can be seen in many of the coochie doctor clips demonstrating how a script can be written and the avatar will regurgitate it. Aghast users called the technology very dangerous, while some weighed the option of ditching social media altogether due to the scary reality of realistic deepfakes.Ive seen Violet so many times, one shocked viewer commented, while another agreed that theyve seen her say shes a dentist and a nurse.So thats actually scary! Now that you point it out, I can see through it, but w/o the warning, I may have fallen for it! someone else admitted.In an attempt to educate viewers, creators have highlighted the ways to determine if the person on your screen is real or AI-generated as deepfakes proliferate online.The suspect content creators spew medical advice on various accounts, where they pose as doctors in different fields. TikTok / @brokegirlguidesFord, for one, called out the mouth movements, calling them uncanny. He noticed that the lips did not sync with the audio, which he said is the first red flag.Its 2025, he said in a TikTok. Nobody should be having audio video lag issues.He added that their claims that a product or natural remedy works better than whatever is commonly used should also raise alarms. Ford also advised looking at the account owners profile to see how many videos feature the so-called doctor, who has someone been a gynecologist, proctologist and more over a mere 13 years.My, my, theyve had a productive career, he joked. @mr.paidsocial Replying to @SilisaB #greenscreenvideo #greenscreen LEARN HOW TO SPOT Ai The eyes The head movements The phrasing and pauses And the whole picture just gives off this unreal feeling. #ai #aivideo #aicontentcreator #aiinfluencer original sound Caleb | Ads | Ai | Automation One user named Caleb Kruse, an expert in paid media, pointed out the telltale signs of an AI avatar in a previous video on TikTok, using another creators content as an example. The woman later confirmed that, while she is, in fact a real person, the video in question was created with AI by a company who had asked to clone her likeness.In addition to the unrealistic mouth movements, Kruse highlighted the womans eyes, awkward head movements and overall vibe of the video or feeling that its not real.The eyes are too big when they shouldnt be theyre not always reflecting exactly how a normal person might react when they say things, he explained.Third, is the cadence, how she speaks, how the words between sentences flow, he continued. Theres sometimes these weird pauses that you wouldnt normally say.The callouts were a wake-up call for his followers.This should be illegal, one dismayed viewer commented.It looks so real its horrifying, another chimed in.
