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 think the appropriate response to this is to make AI videos of beatiful russian women telling russians to revolt against Putin

      Besides of the “This is the weapon of the enemy” frame from The Dark Knight Returns, let me remind you who runs and trains these AI models. They want the EU gone. At best, you’ll be shoveling money into it, at worst your IP will be terminated for “spam”.

        They thought pushing UK out of the EU would break it And we grew stronger than ever.

          Poland’s exit isn’t the breaking of the EU. It’s proving a plan of attack that will break it.

          Slowly chipping away at the edges. Attacking country by country with misinformation until every country is isolated again, ruled by whatever oligarch decides to set up shop there.

          The point of a union is the united effort. If you start thinking in terms of what parts you can cut out without issue or to “grow stronger” then you might as well stop the charade and pick who’s running the new empire.

        The Pussy Riot “girls” are in their thirties, approaching forty. They are exiled and declared to be a terrorist organisation. And they are feminists and Punk. Wonderful, strong, independent women.

        If you want to use sex to sell the idea of a breakup of the Russian empire to Russian men, I’m not sure whether Pussy Riot will work.

          Thirty is young enough, but if younger people want to speak then it’s great. I hope it’d more convincing to have real humans speak out than bots.

          Russians opposing Putin are eventually declared extremist and either in exile, poisoned, or sent to prison.

          So the only persons alive and able to openly critize Putin are outside Russia.

      The appropriate response is sending more weapons and ammo to Ukraine

      The easiest solution is to have the USA annex Russia. That stops the tomfoolery that Russia exerts in every area, including the US.

          You’re right, the whole republican arm of our government supports Russia. However, Russia is both the ripest it has ever been and the most vulnerable it has ever been.
