Not sure if this is a valid contribution as it's about AI/machine learning rather than crypto, but I feel like it's a severe enough development and that AI is significant enough to web3 that it was worth sharing

I have been getting nothing but ai voiced scam ads on youtube's mobile app these past couple months and reported dozens of them to google, so it's validating that it's finally reaching the news
