TikTok has removed advertisements for weight loss products generated through artificial intelligence that mimic prescription medicines. These ads had been linked to a fake account associated with Boots, a British retailer. The advertisements featured healthcare professionals impersonating the pharmacy to promote weight loss solutions. The platform’s action aims to prevent deceptive marketing practices and protect users from misleading health-related content. The use of AI in creating such advertisements raises concerns about misinformation and the integrity of online medical advertising. Regulatory measures and platform policies continue to evolve to address the proliferation of AI-generated content in health promotion, emphasizing the importance of accurate and verified information in digital spaces._
