Cliff Tan, who runs a popular interior design YouTube channel called “Dear Modern” that has 2.4 million subscribers and a corresponding TikTok account with3.6 million followers, posted a video on Monday in which he apologized for promoting an AI company.<\/p>\n

“Yesterday I made a video on AI, and it disappointed many of you,” Tan said in the video. “I’m really sorry about that.”<\/p>\n

Tan’s apology comes a week after Hank Green, one of the internet’s most reliable content creators, apologized to fans for relying on AI “too heavily” when researching his videos. He later shared a new AI policy for his channel.<\/p>\n

In Tan’s case, he posted a paid advertisement for a Chinese AI company called “Dreamina,” which allows users to generate animated videos with written prompts. In the ad, Tan uploads hand-drawn sketches to the software before transforming them into an animated floor plan.<\/p>\n
