King James ban shatters AI carnival! Millions of spoof videos are removed from the shelves, and the first shot of the celebrity counterattack fight

When LeBron James' digital clone appeared in the weird scenes of pregnancy and wandering, the videos called "brainless AI" caught millions of views on Instagram, the NBA superstar finally pressed the legal counterattack. Recently, his legal team issued a ban on a tool called Interlink AI and the Discord community behind it, demanding that it immediately stop using its portraits to create AI videos without authorization - a heavy punch that hits the gray area where AI spoofs celebrities.

The core of this storm is the crazy operation of Interlink AI tools on the FlickUp platform. Users flocked to the Discord community to communicate how to accurately "clone" the facial features of NBA stars such as James and Curry, and even had step-by-step tutorials specifically for James. These videos break through ethical boundaries: the digital version of James sometimes imitates the homeless, sometimes makes a submission posture, and what is even more absurd is the pregnancy scene - all designs are just to attract attention and change traffic.

As the video was flooding, a notice at the end of June was in full swing on Discord. Interlink AI administrator urgently announced: "All realistic characters will be permanently removed from the software due to legal issues involving a high-value basketball player." Although not named, anyone with discerning eyes knows that this is the result of pressure from James' legal team. This AI tool that once made users craze cleared all live portrait templates overnight.

For the industry, this is a rare "big boss-level counterattack". In the past, even if AI spoofs public figures broke through the bottom line, few people were serious. But James' actions broke the hole: these seemingly unreliable and implied content are actually distorting the public's image and may even damage its commercial value and public trust.

Discord In the group, some people regretted losing "creative material", but more people breathed a sigh of relief. "These videos should be under control," a sports commentator said bluntly. "When AI can thrust superstars into humiliating scenes at will, it is no longer entertainment, but infringement."

Now, the removal of Interlink AI is like a wake-up call. With the popularity of AI generation technology, the days when celebrity portraits become a Borderland may be over. James's ban not only makes millions of spoof videos disappear, but also may rewrite the rules of the game - in this portrait battle between people and AI, the offended finally begins to regain the initiative.
