He appeared in the stands of Wimbledon, sips a Pimm’s and enchants social media (and VIPs) with every post. Everyone speaks of her, but behind her glossy profile there is a surprising truth
Ha 165,000 followers on Instagramsports impeccable outfits, lay nonchalance in the right places and sip the right drink. Lately it has appeared to Wimbledonphotographed on the sidelines and in the stands of the All England Clubsunglasses and Pimm’s in hand. A dream in Technicolor from 50,000 likes to post.
Except that … it has never been there. Indeed, it has never been anywhere. Because my zelu does not exist. It is the result of artificial intelligence. A diva generated by an algorithm.
Yet for days he deceived thousands of usersmaking you believe that you are really present at the famous London tennis tournament. “What game of Wimbledon was your favorite?”candidly asks his followers. In another post he writes: “We haven’t finished the event yet … but the party is another story.” And people respond. Comment. Share. It is excited.
Among the seduces and (abandoned) there is also Rishabh Pant, the famous Indian cricket player. The 27 -year -old, really present in Wimbledon, was struck by the images of the alleged influencer and left a few likes here and there, until he discovered that the profile was … fake. He then canceled all his interactions quickly and furious. Who can blame him? Even the most attentive of athletes can stumble on a well -made filter.
Mia’s profile is managed by a mysterious creator who merely defines the account as “influencer-ai” and “digital narrator”. In the bio, there is also a hint to a “Sister” named Anawhich has already exceeded 266,000 followers.
And despite the rather transparent statements (for those who want to read), the followers continue to treat mine as if it were in flesh, bones and filler. Among the messages it receives there are also wedding proposals. Because love, you know, knows no boundaries – not even those between real and virtual.
Moral of the fairy tale? Not everything that glitters on Instagram is gold. Sometimes it is only a well trained code, with a good filter, a credible background and the algorithm from his.
