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.”
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.
