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.”

    I’ve run into a couple of Discords that are all but exclusively about making (unmarked) AI influencers, aka attractive ~20yo women on Insta/TikTok.

    There are so many, literally like giant farms they run. And they get tons of engagement on the accounts I check.

    And that’s not even about politics, it’s folks making a quick buck…

    …You know. In hindsight, the whole premise of monetizing attractive photos via algorithms and ads wasn’t such a great idea.
