Section 1
The big idea
There are tons of videos with AI-generated voices telling you to buy this stock or that crypto. Most are misleading or outright scams. Real financial advice is BORING — not flashy AI promises.
Real examples
- AI voice saying 'guaranteed 10x returns' = lie. No investment is guaranteed.
- Famous person face + AI voice promoting an app = often deepfake without their permission.
- Channel with no real human, just AI voiceovers = no accountability if you lose money.
- Real investing advice is from licensed advisors and books like 'I Will Teach You to Be Rich.'
Try it yourself
Find one of those AI 'crypto tips' videos. With a parent, look at the channel: how many videos? Real human anywhere? Comments? Do they answer real questions? Notice what is missing.
