Why does "AI" matter in this? Pretty sure there are standards for dishonest or fraudulent in normal advertising.
If only we had a regulatory agency with teeth…. Or elected officials that were not themselves grossly dishonest….
So then what can we do about this?

There is also way too much inertia behind it. Large corps benefit wah too much from these scams. They aren't going to cut off such a revenue stream. Our elected officials don't understand the issue enough to do it correctly.
