Recently, NBA superstar LeBron James has been involved in a dispute over artificial intelligence technology. According to reports, James's legal team has sent a cease and desist letter to an AI video generation platform, demanding that the platform stop producing and distributing parody videos involving James, or they may face legal action.

These AI-generated video contents are extremely absurd, including scenes of James being pregnant, giving birth to another NBA star Stephen Curry, and even being in prison with a controversial public figure. These videos not only infringe on James's right to his image but may also seriously damage his public image.

According to the investigation, these videos were generated using the Interlink AI tool on the FlickUp platform. Even more concerning is that there are detailed guides in the related Discord community that teach users how to create such fake videos. The creators of the tool have even uploaded AI models specifically designed to imitate multiple NBA stars.

Some videos have garnered millions of views on social media, raising public concerns about the potential misuse of AI technology. Subsequently, some videos and accounts have been deleted.

The founder of the FlickUp platform, Jason Stacks, acknowledged receiving a lawyer's letter and was forced to remove the related AI model. This incident highlights the double-edged sword effect of AI technology in the content creation field, bringing both innovative possibilities and the potential to infringe on personal rights.

This event has sparked people's reflection on the ethical and legal boundaries of AI technology. Finding a balance between encouraging technological innovation and protecting individual rights has become an urgent issue that society needs to address. In the future, more comprehensive laws and regulations may be needed to regulate the creation and dissemination of AI content to ensure that technological development does not infringe on individual rights.
