Instagram* accounts of non-existent 'girls' are rapidly gaining popularity

In recommendations, videos with 'girls' who tell stories about bullying and self-acceptance appear more and more often… but there’s a catch: these profiles are entirely 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 comments, users sincerely support a 'real person' without realizing that they are facing a digital avatar.
