The comedian and actor AY Makun has taken to social media to voice his indignation about a modified video that has been making the rounds.
The artificial intelligence (AI)-generated manipulated video purports to show Makun kissing actress May Edochie.
Makun recently posted video of himself and May visiting the UK to promote his most recent film, “The Waiter.”
However, there has been criticism around a faked film that appeared online showing the comedian and actress locking lips.
The award-winning filmmaker recently denounced the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to propagate hate and devastation. Why are young, talented Nigerians using their abilities for negative ends? asked AY.
A similar event involving reality personality Alex Asogwa, who “faced lies and misinformation,” was also mentioned by him.
The actor urged youths to use their AI knowledge and talent to promote positivity and unity in the country.
Makun also emphasized the importance of supporting one another and celebrating achievements.
“It’s essential to recognize that every action has consequences. When we choose to sabotage others, we only perpetuate a cycle of negativity and destruction,” he wrote.
“At what point will we realize that unity and collaboration will yield far greater results than division? The other time, it was the poor @alex_unusual who is yet to come out of all the lies and narratives meted out on her person for choosing to always be a support a family who were a major part of her brand growth. Must you all chase away everyone working with me or trying to earn an honest living through me?
“Let’s come together to support one another’s hustles, celebrate our achievements, and inspire a culture of innovation and respect. The future of Nigeria depends on our collective efforts to foster an environment where everyone can thrive.
“Remember, your talents can be a force for good. Let’s use them to build bridges just like @flyairpeace did by supporting #TheWaiterMovie , not walls.
“Uncle AI turned Ay, together, we can create a brighter future for our beloved country. HELP USE THIS TALENT TO PROMOTE #TheWaiterMovie now showing in selected cinemas in UK, USA, AND CANADA. link in my bio.”
