The AI 'Doctors' Selling Recalled Supplements to Your Grandma
A new lawsuit against supplement brand Rosabella (backed by Ambrosia Brands) reveals how 20-something YouTubers built an assembly line of AI-generated 'doctors' and influencers — using Veo, HeyGen, ElevenLabs, and CapCut — to hawk supplements, some flagged by the FDA, mostly to older TikTok Shop shoppers. Creators bragged about making $50k+/month, copy-pasting scripts, and getting paid in Rolexes, while directing AI avatars to fake accents and racial stereotypes for 'engagement.' It's the AI-slop economy colliding with health misinformation, aimed squarely at the demographic least equipped to spot it.
Capitalism found a way to make grifting scale infinitely — just add AI and remove the human conscience.
