(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nBrands are warning that more creators are using AI-generated avatars and cloned versions of themselves to boost affiliate sales on TikTok Shop, per MSN.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if you're seeding product to creators on TikTok Shop, explicitly request human-recorded video only. Do not accept AI avatar content for affiliate campaigns. Add it to your creator agreement in writing. Make it a KPI. This protects your brand from the authenticity backlash when consumers figure out the 'creator' is a bot. As the platform tightens policies (which it will), human creators will command a premium. Lock in that relationship now.\nWhat that means for you: This is early warning territory. AI avatars are making it possible for one 'creator' to pump out 100 affiliate videos a month. That scale is attractive but corrosive. Buyers are not stupid; they'll figure out the face is fake. When TikTok Shop gets hit with the authenticity scandals (and it will), the platform will crack down. Brands that seeded to real humans will be fine. Brands that seeded to avatars will look foolish. This is a one-year watch. For now, if you're running affiliate campaigns on TikTok Shop, make 'human-recorded only' part of your creator brief.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — MSN: http://www.bing.com/news/apiclick.aspx?ref=FexRss&aid=&tid=6a5b40e16c08467893afe7ab4a0f200a&url=https%3a%2f%2fwww.msn.com%2fen-us%2fmoney%2fother%2fai-videos-are-flooding-tiktok-shop%2far-AA27XsX9&c=10987946318648468403&mkt=en-us.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
