Several reports raise concerns about adverts appearing on X that use AI-generated images of UK political and financial figures, including Nigel Farage and Andrew Bailey. The articles describe the ads as “bizarre” and state that they are taking over users’ feeds while promoting a get-rich-quick type scam. One outlet alleges that Russian-linked criminal groups may be behind the promotion, framing it as part of broader disinformation or fraud activity conducted through automated online advertising. The sources provided do not offer detailed technical evidence, specific advertiser accounts, or confirmed attribution beyond the claim that Russian gangs are involved. Overall, the coverage focuses on the use of AI imagery to create convincing promotional content, the prevalence of the ads in users’ feeds, and the scam-like nature of the message being advertised. The reports indicate that authorities and platform operators may need to investigate the origin and operation of the adverts, as well as how the AI images are produced and distributed on the platform.
