Overview
AI Adin Ross Controversy, also known as Fake Adin Ross Prank or Deepfake Adin Ross, refers to a series of viral videos showing a person using AI deepfake technology to pretend to be Kick streamer Adin Ross, convincing his fans to smash their own PS5s, Phones, PCs and TVs, among other expensive products, promising that if they do so he'll replace the items or give them money. The prank videos started on TikTok in April 2024 by user johnjam11703, who alleges to have used a combination of AI tools and the random video chat app Monkey (similar to Omegle) to impersonate the streamer. Following their virality, Ross reacted to some of the AI videos and warned his fans to not break their things unless he asks for it, as the streamer often does βdare streamsβ in which he encourages random viewers to complete stunts or destroy their property.
