They are beautiful, eloquent — and do not exist. AI-generated girls from the 'Prawilne_Polki' profile called for Polexit and preached right-wing views. The TikTok account has been deleted, but disinformation and propaganda in Poland persist.

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.”

    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.
