Fake NVIDIA Livestream Beats Real Thing in Viewership Numbers, Leaving Experts Baffled
In a bizarre turn of events, a fake livestream featuring AI-generated CEO Jensen Huang of NVIDIA surpassed the actual event's viewership numbers by a significant margin. According to reports, the artificial stream garnered around 100,000 live views, dwarfing the real thing's 20,000 live viewers.
The fake stream took a more sensational approach, touting "a crypto mass adoption event" that allegedly tied into NVIDIA's mission to accelerate human progress. The AI-generated Huang even urged viewers to scan QR codes to send in cryptocurrencies, raising concerns about potential scams targeting unsuspecting viewers.
However, experts are now warning that the fake stream may not have been as effective as it seemed. Since its deletion, there is no clear explanation of how or why the fake stream managed to lure in so many viewers. Moreover, some questions remain unanswered, such as whether the 100,000 accounts watching the fake stream were tied to real individuals and what kind of promotional tools may have been used to draw people in.
It's also worth noting that NVIDIA's actual keynote speech at its GPU Technology Conference (GTC) has garnered significantly more views – a whopping 200,000 – despite initially only having 20,000 live viewers. This unexpected surge could be attributed to the event itself, which didn't exactly generate buzz about new graphics cards.
Meanwhile, concerns about AI-generated content are growing. Earlier this month, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman donated his likeness to the Sora 2 video generator, sparking fears that AI video generators would use celebrities' likenesses for nefarious purposes. The example of Jensen Huang's fake livestream serves as a cautionary tale about the potential risks and consequences of deepfake technology.
As the boundaries between reality and fiction continue to blur, it's essential to remain vigilant and critical when consuming online content. While the water may not be getting hotter just yet, the situation is certainly becoming more complicated – and that's an area where experts are urging us to exercise greater caution.

. I get it, AI can be pretty convincing, but come on! And now they're talking about deepfakes and celebrity likenesses getting used for scams... that's some next level stuff 
. What's the point of even having a real livestream if the AI-generated one can outdo it? 
I'm all for innovation, but this is just crazy talk 
.
anyway, gotta wonder if those 100k were legit or just bots trying to scam ppl 
nvidia's keynote speech still got more views tho lol 200k views, nice recovery 
but seriously, AI-generated content is getting scarily realistic... like wut's next? 
. It's also super concerning that some people might've fallen for the scam 
. What if they sent in actual money thinking it was legit? 
. Jensen Huang looks like himself, right down to his "style" and everything 
. If AI-generated content gets more realistic like that, what's the point of even having "real" events? 
I mean, who gets excited about new graphics cards, am I right? 
Anyways, this whole thing just goes to show how AI-generated content is getting more realistic by the minute... it's like, what's real and what's not anymore?! 
But for real though, this whole thing is a major red flag when it comes to AI-generated content. We need to be way more careful about where we're getting our info from and who's behind the scenes... 
. I'm both impressed and terrified at the same time – what does it say about our society that we're so eager to click on anything that looks "interesting" online? 
. Maybe people just wanted to see the excitement behind it all? 
But at the same time, I'm not sure if I should be relieved or worried that AI-generated content can fool so many people 
. Like, someone spent a lot of effort and resources to make it look legit 
. It's not just about protecting ourselves from scams – it's also about making sure we're not losing our grip on what's real and what's not 
!
. So yeah, let's all take a step back and be more mindful of what we're consuming online. Stay vigilant, fam! 
so let's all stay vigilant and not fall for fake news or scams, kay? 
. I mean, 200k views is no joke! What's up with that? Is it because people weren't expecting anything groundbreaking from them? 
. We need to be more careful about what we're consuming, especially when it comes to AI-generated content. I mean, what's next? Deepfakes in politics? 
️.
Can you believe how easy it was for people to get fooled? And now we're seeing the real NVIDIA stream getting so much more views than expected... it's like they knew something was up beforehand. 
u gotta wonder wut kinda promo tools nvidia used tho? and whats up w/ AI gen content?
