Tom Brady, the legendary quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has threatened legal action against a new AI-based comedy special that is impersonating him. The show, called Dudesy Podcast, features an AI version of Tom Brady as one of its main characters and has been gaining traction in recent weeks.
The show’s creators have defended their use of Brady’s likeness by claiming it falls under fair use laws. However, Brady’s lawyers are arguing that the show is infringing on his right to publicity and privacy. They also claim that using his likeness without permission could damage his reputation and cause confusion among fans who may think he actually endorsed or was involved with the production of the show.
Brady himself has yet to comment publicly on this issue but sources close to him say he is taking it very seriously and will not hesitate to take legal action if necessary. He believes strongly in protecting his image and does not want any unauthorized uses of it appearing online or elsewhere without his consent.
This isn’t the first time a celebrity has taken issue with someone using their likeness without permission either; recently actor Ryan Reynolds sued Fortnite for creating an avatar based off him without asking for approval first. It remains unclear what will happen next in this case but many believe that if Tom Brady decides to pursue legal action then there could be serious consequences for those behind Dudesy Podcast.
Regardless of how things play out though, this situation serves as a reminder about how important it is for celebrities (and anyone else) to protect their images from being used without authorization or permission from them first – especially when it comes to something like AI technology which can make exact replicas almost indistinguishable from reality itself!
