Illegal ads for AI-powered essay mills are invading social media.
A recent study by ArXiv has found that ads for AI-supported essay-writing services claiming they can fool anti-cheating software are thriving on TikTok and Meta platforms.
TikTok said in a statement to Fast Company that it has since removed the ads highlighted in the study, adding that while some AI ads are permitted, it doesn’t “allow ads that are misleading or dishonest.”
