AI-generated videos promoting Poland’s exit from the European Union have appeared on Polish-language social media, featuring non-existent, attractive young women advocating for “Polexit”.
One TikTok account called “Prawilne Polki” published content showing women dressed in T-shirts bearing Polish flags and patriotic symbols, European analytics collective Res Futura said. The content targeted audiences aged 15 to 25.
The videos featured statements including: “I want Polexit because I want freedom of choice, even if it will be more expensive. I don’t remember Poland before the European Union, but I feel it was more Polish then.”
The younger crowd… and probably also the older… are doomed.
People keep saying what do we do? Well the response should play into the fact that Poles aren’t trying to get conquered by outsiders yet again. Pin the previous videos squarely on Russia dudes in military uniform sitting at computers trying to destroy Poland.
Man the fake news machine is rampid. Lookup “Ukraine war” on YouTube. Just pages upon pages of AI generated news.
You guys still use yt ?
As little as possible. And with each day my distaste grows a little more and I tend to leave it aside a little more.
@FreddiesLantern only if I search for info and only find it there.
The ads and suggestions are beyond distasteful.
Ads? uBlock and Sponsorblock my friend.
Ublock is great for youtube. I got it to block shorts and those weird texts posts. Why would I want to read on yt? YouTube’s for videos, Lemmy’s for text, and Trix are for kids
I see AI generated bs when I lookup funny cat videos on youtube. And they used to be the entire point of that site.
Umm … I guess you meant ‘rampant’ ?
Absolutely, …however, we can’t know for certain if there isn’t a server out there with robotic legs.

Speaking of fake AI-generated videos…
Lol, if something should break up, it’s the Russian Federation. It’s always reflection with these people.
Are we too classy to start a similar campaign in Russia?
We don’t need to lie to point out the obvious. Every dirt poor ethnic minority far from Moscow knows this already
if the RF would break up, who’d bear the consequences?
Russians, I hope. But if we look at history, it’s more likely that the answer is almost everyone else as well.
Bye Felicia, try not to get invaded by Putin.
Because of a Russian psyop campaign?
Are you naturally that stupid, or paid to pretend to be?
The fucking Russians continue to play games in Poland.
I’m sure it’s paid for by musk and Thiel
And their boss, Vlad
…and Xi.
not to forget Sauron.
And his boss: Jesus Christ himself
Due to tight controls over the media in authoritarian regimes like China or Russia, they aren’t as vulnerable to this vector of foreign propaganda. But they sure as hell make a tonne of this kind of thing and ship it overseas. How can this asymmetry be addressed or mitigated?
Mass internet exodus, return to bbs
Big beautiful Sweden?
We need counter-operation where hot girls start promoting polexit then gradually motivate it with necessity of submission to Russia and start “Poles are confused Russians” narrative. I don’t know what would trigger Poles more than that.
P.S. 7/10, 4/10, 4/10

Eww
Are you an LLM?
What?? Why?
I think the appropriate response to this is to make AI videos of beatiful russian women telling russians to revolt against Putin
The appropriate response is sending more weapons and ammo to Ukraine
No need for AI slop. There are already young russian women speaking loudly against Putin. What is lacking is the ability for opponents to have their voice heard in Russia.
The Pussy Riot “girls” are in their thirties, approaching forty. They are exiled and declared to be a terrorist organisation. And they are feminists and Punk. Wonderful, strong, independent women.
If you want to use sex to sell the idea of a breakup of the Russian empire to Russian men, I’m not sure whether Pussy Riot will work.
Thirty is young enough, but if younger people want to speak then it’s great. I hope it’d more convincing to have real humans speak out than bots.
Russians opposing Putin are eventually declared extremist and either in exile, poisoned, or sent to prison.
So the only persons alive and able to openly critize Putin are outside Russia.
If I lived in Russia, I probably wouldn’t want to fight a civil war. I’d just leave.
I think that the problem that the Kremlin is going to face isn’t a civil war, but a combination of population leaving and having a hard time attracting immigration. Like, sure, the people in power get control of mines and oil wells and such, but they’re going to erode the country with policies like this.
All the best people left Russia already a decade ago.
Besides of the “This is the weapon of the enemy” frame from The Dark Knight Returns, let me remind you who runs and trains these AI models. They want the EU gone. At best, you’ll be shoveling money into it, at worst your IP will be terminated for “spam”.
They thought pushing UK out of the EU would break it And we grew stronger than ever.
Poland’s exit isn’t the breaking of the EU. It’s proving a plan of attack that will break it.
Slowly chipping away at the edges. Attacking country by country with misinformation until every country is isolated again, ruled by whatever oligarch decides to set up shop there.
The point of a union is the united effort. If you start thinking in terms of what parts you can cut out without issue or to “grow stronger” then you might as well stop the charade and pick who’s running the new empire.
didn’t it only benefit like 5 wealthy shitstains?
Not the Ai War we deserve, but the Ai War we need.
i mean, guess the environment is in the crossfire now.
fair enough but maybe they will stop this stupidity if they realize it is very easy for this to backfire
Oh, no-no-no, they will not stop, and on top of it they will not realise it is easy to backfire. If anything I would expect them to double down, and even after revolt, if it ever comes their way, they will be puzzled as to what could’ve been wrong
War never changes.
sexy bear women
I don’t know if I should be happy or sad that this doesn’t seem to be a thing yet.
Sad. It’s pathetic that our society is captured by oligarchs that appreciate the brainwashing and have no desire to counter it.
If only one side is willing to use a weapon, only one side can see the value in negotiating it off the table. Russia needs a reason to agree to stop, and using these methods to topple Putin gets us closer to that discussion, but that would mean acknowledging the use of similar practices by corpo-fascists domestically.
The easiest solution is to have the USA annex Russia. That stops the tomfoolery that Russia exerts in every area, including the US.
I don’t want Russia.
Geographically, the US has the benefit of distance from other major powers, and that would in part go away. Russia already blows a bunch of money trying to secure the Far East by getting Russians to live out there.
Russia has a shit-load of problems that have to be solved, from political to AIDS epidemic.
We can already get population while filtering out people who don’t want to be here by just allowing immigration. Annex something and you have to fight the people who don’t want to be there. Immigration is a much better way to get people.
Russia has natural resources, but we have most of the same ones already in North America, and they aren’t that valuable; resource extraction isn’t most of our economy.
That’s not easy at all with their useful idiot in the whitehouse.
You’re right, the whole republican arm of our government supports Russia. However, Russia is both the ripest it has ever been and the most vulnerable it has ever been.
Attractive is subject to perspective, for example I don’t find any of them even a tinsy bit attractive.
The middle one has that Megamind head. 😆
The EU needs to finally take this threat seriously and respond with even more attractive Ai women.
We’re not gonna make it, are we? People I mean…
this is the way: NCD waifus demonstrate it.
predictible horny rightwing is predictable
Let he amongst us who is immune to attractive women cast the first ballot
magnificent but flamboyant stampede of gay men ensues
Says a lot about the level of intelligence of rightwing nationalists.
Do right-wing nationalists even listen to a female opinion?
No they don’t. But young men aged 15-25 will watch propaganda if there’s an attractive woman in the video.
Only if they think that lady will touch their dong.
Counterpoint: Alice Weidel
Only if those women are repeating their talking points.
And only if young and attractive
It is low, but no country votes based on intelligence.
Apparently this was a real strategy on twitter for the 2024 election: videos of hot women followed by trump messages aimed at young men…and it seems to have worked to at least get them off the couch…just be aware of it ffs (fucking monkey brains)
This was a thing in 2016. They photoshop Trump logos on to photographs of women’s clothing. They photoshops MAGA hats on to them. There was whole subreddits dedicated to churning out this content.
And of course this probably comes as no surprise to anyone. All of this likely traces back to Obama Girl. Anyone remember that. They basically cribbed notes from the '08 Obama campaign. Everyone believes narrative that Trump pioneered using the internet to campaign especially to the younger generations. Not true. Obama did first.
Huh. I wonder who would want Poland out of the EU and why.
usa and russia
echoes of Brexit…
That too was a Russian psyop. If we don’t fight this shit, Poland will fall for it, they are ripe for this type of demagoguery.
I just expected poles to be more resistent to self-harm narratives from russia…even if they are not explicitly about russia. So much for “russophobia”.
