AI Drama Character's Contact Lens Ad Sparks Controversy, Video Removed

A contact lens ad featuring 'Fang Taozi', the lead character of the AI drama 'The Laid-off Girl', has been removed from her Douyin page. The ad, posted in early August, claimed the lenses were 'comfortable all day' and 'stay in place without shifting,' but viewers pointed out that an AI virtual character has no real eyes and cannot wear contact lenses, making such claims unrealistic. Under China's Advertising Law, advertising with false or misleading content, including fabricated user experiences, can be deemed false advertising. This incident highlights compliance risks in AI-driven commercial promotions.
