AI-generated Greta Garbo ad for ball bearings sparks unease

Original: Greta Garbo maakt tegenwoordig reclame voor kogellagers. Je weet wat de volgende stap zal zijn: Hannie Schaft die ineens

An AI-generated advertisement appears to use Greta Garbo, the Swedish film star who died in 1990, to promote ball bearings for manufacturer SKF. A Dutch-language post mocks the advert and warns that dead public figures could next be depicted saying or standing for things they never would, citing resistance heroine Hannie Schaft as an example. The comment reflects wider anxiety about AI slop and unauthorised use of deceased celebrities in commercial content.

Why now: People are alarmed by AI advertising that resurrects dead celebrities without consent, and what it normalises next
