Episode Overview

This episode of Holmberg's Morning Sickness focuses on the increasingly blurred lines between truth and fiction in the age of advanced artificial intelligence. The crew dives into a viral news story about a U.S. Marine whose identity has been implicated in dozens of suspected infidelities and scams around the world — allegedly all thanks to AI deepfakes and scammers using his likeness.

(00:38 – 11:48)

  • The main story: multiple women from regions worldwide contact a Marine’s wife, claiming infidelity and scamming attempts — all, supposedly, using AI-generated content and his online photos.

  • Brady details the Marine's predicament:

    "I've had women from all over the planet...women would call my wife, call me...managing to get my number because I think they'd Google reversed my image and found out who I really was. There's probably thousands and thousands of fake accounts of me all over the world." (04:12)

      "AI is great for liars and it's great for bad guys, but that's gonna be the new Shaggy — 'Wasn't me.'"
