You guys are laughing right now, but as the only real celebrity on Lemmy, identity theft is not a joke! Millions of celebrities would suffer every year!
Imagine what would happen if some random Internet weirdo uses AI to impersonate me, super serious Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie, and make me say extremely silly things that I would never say in public on the internet? Would you still think impersonating a celebrity is funny?
Luckily for her, Margot Robbie has been blessed by a relatively harmless and actually kinda based Lemmy impersonater.
Or it's actually her and no one can be sure. I still want to believe.
I've never seen anyone trying to impersonate me on Lemmy, but if you ever see them, could you tell them to promote my latest movie, now also available on streaming, since I'm still on strike?
🤨 hmmmmmm
I also choose to believe. As a wise man once said, on the internet, no one knows if you're really Margot Robbie
Probably not. Sorry Margot
😭
Surely no one would ever do such a thing.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Yeah, and I imagine it'd be even worse if they made your character do things you would never do in public either, scary stuff!
I'm going to blame AI impersonators for drinking too much every time I get a hangover from now on.
