A | (ECNS) -- Fang Taozi, the main character in the viral AI-generated Chinese short drama “The Girl Who Was Laid Off,” has begun promoting products online, with reported advertising rates reaching as high as 258,000 yuan ($38,200) per video, drawing both cheers from fans and doubts from netizens who question the credibility of products promoted by a non-human character. In a recent bonus clip, Fang recommended a brand of colored contact lenses, saying they remained comfortable after a full day's wear. Some fans have expressed support for Fang, while many netizens have voiced doubts, arguing that products backed by an AI persona carry little credibility since no real person has actually tested them. "Who would buy this? No real human has even tried it," one netizen commented. Using an AI-generated character in advertising is not inherently illegal, Li Weihua, a partner at the Shanghai office of Dacheng Law Offices, told China News Service. However, the character does not have independent legal status, meaning responsibility for misleading or unlawful advertising remains with the advertiser or the company operating the character. According to media reports, a growing number of firms are now offering "digital portrait licensing" services. These companies acquire digital likenesses and sell usage rights for applications ranging from short-drama production to in-feed ad campaigns, with some touting their services as "much cheaper than hiring real human endorsers directly." Li added that advertisers and ad operators using AI-generated digital portraits must comply with relevant advertising laws. For example, such advertisements must be clearly labeled as "advertisements" and must also state that the digital portrait is AI-generated. (By Intern Yang Hongran, Zhang Dongfang) 
。 London, Oct 21 (UNI) The prospect of Boris Johnson making it into the final stage of the Tory Party leadership race should be taken "very" seriously, according to the founder of the ConservativeHome website.
Nobody has declared their intention to run yet - but Rishi Sunak and Penny Mordaunt are seen as contenders. Candidates to succeed Liz Truss as the UK's prime minister have just a few days to gather the support of MPs.
Nominations close at 2 pm Monday - and candidates must have the backing of at least 100 MPs to run
Backers of Boris Johnson, who resigned in July following a series of scandals, are calling for him to stand in the race.
British political activist Tim Montgomerie says he's hearing that not only is the former prime minister likely to pass the 100 MPs threshold, but he could garner the backing of "close to 140".
Party members will vote on the candidates that meet the threshold in an online vote by October 28.
"Boris Johnson is very popular amongst grassroots members and Rishi Sunak, the other leading contender for the crown, is much less popular," Montgomerie told BBC.
"So I wouldn't want to make any cast iron prediction in this crazy world of politics at the moment but I think Boris Johnson returning is a very real possibility."
Montgomerie added that there are many Tories who "hate the idea of Johnson becoming leader" again, with talk of MPs potentially resigning the whip if he succeeds.
