  • A surge of AI-generated videos on TikTok feature a shirtless man promoting unproven supplements claiming to enlarge male genitalia and boost testosterone as of 2025.
  • The rise of generative AI enables mass production of these videos with minimal oversight, often using euphemisms like carrots to evade content moderation of explicit language.
  • These videos frequently include fake celebrity deepfakes impersonating figures such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Anthony Fauci, and Ben Carson to endorse bogus sexual and dietary products.

  • The rapid proliferation of deepfakes and misleading ads creates major challenges for content moderation, requiring new detection tools as removal efforts result in near-identical copies quickly reappearing.
