Because of easily accessible generative AI technologies on the internet, Olga Loiek has seen her face appear in a number of videos posted on Chinese social media.
“My voice and face were visible to me. However, I saw myself saying things that I never uttered, which made it all very unsettling, the 21-year-old University of Pennsylvania student told the news.
There were numerous accounts with her likeness, with names like Sofia, Natasha, April, and Stacy, among others. Olga had never studied Mandarin, therefore these “girls” were speaking it. They appeared to be from Russia and either spoke about the friendship between China and Russia or promoted Russian goods.
“I saw that around 90% of the movies discussed the friendship between China and Russia, how important it is for us to be powerful allies.
