The main reason I'm posting this is not because this malware is particularly interesting (although seeing this sort of AI use in the wild is interesting) but because of how it's ending up on people's machines. Specifically, it's being widely advertised via Google ads using the most obviously malicious ads I've seen in a very long time: https://adstransparency.google.com/advertiser/AR129387695568...

I'm really surprised to see that Google has let 2000 of these ads through without catching them and that they have not removed them after reports from weeks ago. When clicking in the ads an exe file is immediately downloaded, which you'd think some tool at Google would be able to trivially catch.
