What statement did Neurocept issue in response to Dr. Gupta’s comments?

1. What Dr. Gupta said and the context of his denouncement

CNN reported that Dr. Sanjay Gupta “speaks out after discovering scammers are using his likeness in AI deepfake videos and doctored images to sell bogus health cures and fake health products,” framing his comments as a public denouncement of those fake ads ^[1]. That piece is the clearest source in the set documenting Gupta’s reaction to AI-generated endorsements: he emphasized that the promotional material was not him and criticized misuse of his image to sell unproven remedies ^[1].

2. What the sources say about Neurocept’s marketing and alleged deepfakes

Independent posts and review sites available in the results accuse Neurocept of using polished, emotional videos that feature AI-generated likenesses of public figures — including Dr. Gupta, Anderson Cooper, and Bruce Willis — to push a “honey recipe” claim capable of reversing Alzheimer’s; those analyses call the campaign a scam and say the endorsements are fabricated ^{[2] [3]}. Trustpilot consumer reviews explicitly state the product’s videos used AI-generated images and list Neurocept LLC in company/address details tied to complaints ^[3]. The investigative article at Ibisik similarly concluded Neurocept’s buildup is “smoke and mirrors” and that there is “no endorsement from Dr. Sanjay Gupta or anyone else” ^[2].

3. Did Neurocept issue a statement responding to Gupta? — What the available sources show

Available sources do not include or cite a direct Neurocept statement responding to Dr. Gupta’s comments. The dataset contains reporting of Gupta’s denouncement ^[1] and critical reviews alleging Neurocept used deepfakes ^{[2] [3]}, but none of these items quote or link to an official Neurocept reply to Gupta. Therefore, a Neurocept response is not found in current reporting (not found in current reporting).

4. Competing viewpoints and limits of the record

One side — investigative posts and customer complaints — presents Neurocept as a scam that relies on AI-generated likenesses and false medical claims; they assert there is “no endorsement from Dr. Sanjay Gupta” and allege deceptive practices ^{[2] [3]}. The other side — represented only by Gupta’s denouncement in the CNN piece — is an individual claimant that his likeness was misused; CNN’s coverage confirms he “speaks out” but the provided sources don’t include responses from Neurocept, its marketers, or legal representatives that might offer a rebuttal or denial ^[1]. Because the available documents do not contain Neurocept’s official comment, we cannot report what Neurocept has said in response.

5. Why the absence of a Neurocept statement matters

Without an on-record response from Neurocept in these sources, readers lack the company’s account of the allegations: whether it denies using deepfakes, acknowledges misuse by third-party affiliates, claims trademark or likeness licensing, or has taken down disputed content (not found in current reporting). That absence prevents independent verification of advertisers’ practices and motives and leaves a one-sided public record comprised of victim complaints and one prominent figure’s denouncement ^{[2] [3] [1]}.

6. What to check next if you want a definitive answer

To find any Neurocept response, search primary places where companies publish rebuttals or legal statements: Neurocept’s official website or press page, its corporate filings or WHOIS/contact records, official social accounts, press releases, or correspondence quoted by mainstream outlets; also check follow-up reporting from CNN or other outlets for updates. The provided results do not show any such Neurocept-published statement; therefore, those avenues are the logical next step (not found in current reporting).

Summary conclusion: reporting in the available set documents Dr. Gupta’s public denouncement of AI-generated ads using his likeness and alleges Neurocept’s marketing relied on such deepfakes, but no Neurocept-issued statement responding to Dr. Gupta appears in these sources ^{[1] [2] [3]}.
