AI Adin Ross imposter is making fans smash their PS5s & TVs

Viral clips have been circulating that show an AI impostor pretending to be Adin Ross. Using the streamer’s influence, they’re convincing his fans to smash their own PS5s, Phones, and TVs.

The real Adin Ross often does “dare streams”, where he encourages random viewers to complete stunts or destroy their property, with the promise of a cash reward in return.

In one such incident, Adin even had a viewer drive their car into a lake, which resulted in a police response and the driver being detained.

The streamer has been pranked himself a few times but now someone is using him as the centerpiece of their own prank, using his dare streams to trick people into destroying their tech.

TikTok user johnjam11703 posted a series of videos currently going viral in which they claim to be using a combination of AI and the random video chat app Monkey to impersonate Adin Ross. As a fake Adin Ross, they have convinced several young fans to break high-priced electronics.

In the videos, johnjam11703 combines archived stream footage and AI voice modulation to create a convincing enough fake Adin Ross. Baiting fans of the Kick streamer they encounter with promises of even better replacements, they convince them to break things like a PS5, an iPhone, and more.

In one video, they convince a child to punch their mounted TV as hard as they can for the promise of $500. They even attempted to get the child to hang off of it “like monkey bars”.

In the most extreme example, they promised one young person a new TV, PS5, and $500 if they broke their PS4. At first, the victim of the prank was uncertain and accused johnjam11703 of being “a f**king liar” but eventually, they threw their PS4 out of a window.

Viewers are split on whether the content is hilarious or heartless, with some calling it “funny as f**k” while others have called it “evil”.

As for the real Adin Ross, there are rumors that the Kick streamer may retire, but whether it’s real or a hoax is unclear.
