TikTok was flooded with deepfake videos of YouTuber and pro boxer Jake Paul seemingly coming out as gay in October 2025. The ultra-realistic deepfakes - which were created using OpenAI's video generation model Sora - depicted the boxer draped in an LGTBQ+ Pride flag or dancing ballet in a tutu, all while encouraging viewers to accept his sexuality. Many have been fooled by the deepfakes, with TikTok commenters pointing out that "AI is scary" for how realistic these videos seemed.
