Instagram* accounts of 'girls' that don't exist are rapidly gaining popularity

Recommendations are increasingly showing videos of 'girls' telling stories about bullying and self-acceptance… but there's a catch: these profiles are completely created by AI. Appearance, facial expressions, gestures — everything is generated by a neural network.

Creators of such videos skillfully play on people's emotions — in the comments, users sincerely support a 'real person' without suspecting that it's a digital avatar.
