Hong Kong pulls AI anti-drug video after it becomes 'best drug ad ever'

Hong Kong's Correctional Services Department withdrew an AI-generated anti-drug campaign after social media users mocked it for making drugs appear enticing. The video featured four animated band members named after drugs, who promoted them with catchy slogans. Only at the end did they transform into elderly men as a warning. Viewers joked it was the most successful drug advertisement in Hong Kong. The department said it would better balance creativity and public acceptance in future campaigns.
