Meet 'Amelia': the AI-generated British schoolgirl who is a far-right social media star

Source: The Guardian

In certain corners of the internet, on niche news feeds and algorithms, an AI-generated British schoolgirl has emerged as something of a phenomenon.

Her name is Amelia, a purple-haired “goth girl” who proudly carries a mini union flag and appears to have a penchant for racism.

If you are unfamiliar with Amelia, the chances are you will soon encounter one viral meme or another inspired by her on Facebook or X, where her reputation is growing.

Videos of Amelia typically feature her walking through London, or the House of Commons, declaring her love for England and warning of the dangers of “militant Muslims” or “third-world migrants”. In one clip she is harangued by bearded man in Islamic attire for eating a pork sausage.

2. Not everyone is astute, C Moon. Everyone has varying degrees of ability detecting deception.

Take our brain damaged democrat from Pennsylvania, Fetterman, for example. He doesn't see a thing wrong with ICE killing Alex either.

I guess it can be filed under Propaganda. Which has been used during war times again and again.

People are…wait for it…stupid. 😉 Especially these days when people are in their (dis)information bubbles, being fed a diet of (usually fact-free) belief-confirming bullshit. 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️🙄

4. And all these AI investors/creators/companies wonder why the public is so upset about the rise

of AI with ZERO regulation or oversight. I guess if it is AI-generated, fake news, racism, snuff films and dangerous anti-Science/anti-Medicine messaging is just damned fine.

I honestly expected her to be younger I kinda automatically assume now that most RWers are pedos and pedo apologists anyways.

Tap into some vague 'British is best, being a white Christian is even better and everyone not like that is trash' latent teenage thinking, and you have a white Supremacist adult, UK style, in the making.

Amelia needs to die!

Must be some UK laws the 'brains' behind her AI animation are breaking, surely?

Some AI will be helpful, some economically devastating, and more often than not, like this, will become one more tool for propagandists.

In one of the most surreal twists, an Amelia cryptocurrency has emerged, with social media users seeking to leverage its value on the meme’s rising profile. On Wednesday, Elon Musk retweeted an X account promoting an Amelia cryptocurrency token.

“What we’re seeing is the monetisation of hate,” said Matteo Bergamini, the founder and CEO of Shout Out UK, a political and media literacy training company that created the original game.

10. Does she do porn? ...If not, then the Andy Warhol rule applies, even to AI

I doubt she gets much traction because she's just not entertaining. She doesn't do much beyond preaching and that will get old fast.

Women won't care about her and men will lose interest after the next shiny object shows up on the internet.

There will be many, many, many, many recreations that will.

Rule 34 is probably the one constant in the entire digital age.

That's really all this is. No different than old school propaganda.
