Teens are using artificial intelligence chatbots to study with their fave celebs. While there are concerns about generative AI tools spreading misinformation and making factual errors, the potential to develop innovative learning resources and alleviate the workload on teachers makes this technology appealing. AI-generated celebrities and deepfakes have been a topic of debate for some time, but it’s no surprise that young audiences find entertainment in their favorite stars, so educational Instagram profiles are creating videos of them discussing subjects like math and science. Viral clips “featuring” Ariana Grande, Cardi B, and even Donald Trump explaining math concepts have captivated young viewers. These fake-celeb teaching videos are part of a small (but growing) trend of educational content designed for a generation built to consume content on their phones, with clips going viral on platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels.
