"On October 7, a TikTok account named @fujitiva48 posed a provocative question alongside their latest video. "What are your thoughts on this new toy for little kids?" they asked over 2,000 viewers, who had stumbled upon what appeared to be a TV commercial parody. The response was clear. "Hey so this isn't funny," wrote one person. "Whoever made this should be investigated.""
"The fake commercial opens with a photorealistic young girl holding a toy-pink, sparkling, a bumblebee adorning the handle. It's a pen, we are told, as the girl and two others scribble away on some paper while an adult male voiceover narrates. But it's evident that the object's floral design, ability to buzz, and name-the Vibro Rose-look and sound very much like a sex toy."
Sora 2, a new AI video generator released by invitation in the US on September 30, has been used to create photorealistic fake commercials depicting young children interacting with sexualized toys. Videos portray a child holding a buzzing, floral Vibro Rose pen and clips showing rose or mushroom-shaped water toys and cake decorators squirting 'sticky milk.' These clips have been posted to TikTok and amplified by the platform's 'add yours' remix feature. Viewers reacted with outrage and calls for investigation. Such depictions involving realistic children would face legal and safety scrutiny if the children were real.
