Is it just me who feels like he'd be a good target for early efforts of AI impersonation because he speaks in such a disjointed sort of way to begin with?

He is a perfect target. Especially since he does so much weird shit it makes anyone willing to believe anything about him.

I've seen a bunch of ads on Facebook where it's a deepfake of either Elon or Mr Beast. Just goes to show that Meta doesn't give a fuck and will let anything through if you pay them.
