this is Olivia Brand, who over the course of the last several months has amalgamated almost 125,000 Instagram followers and whose videos are all getting millions of views at a time. She's a fashion girl, she's a lifestyle influencer, she's rooted in her Christian faith, and she's labeled herself as the AI it girl because get this, this is not a real person and also a quarter she's not real. She's completely generated by AI which is terrifying. But what's scarier is we can't seem to tell the difference between a real human being and someone whose identity is amalgamated through a computer algorithm. Olivia's posts look hyper realistic with little under eye patches and facials to get ready for bed every night. Her hair is messy and there's little flyaways everywhere. She's got texture on her skin in all of her photos and videos, nothing about her page screams AI to me. Except absolutely beautiful woman to like unrealistic beauty standards. And even though Olivia says in her Instagram bio that she's the AI it girl and it's been confirmed by several media outlets that she is indeed an AI generated influencer, people are commenting by the thousands on her Instagram reels. Omg Almost thought this was AI So we've officially arrived. We arrived at the time everyone was freaking out about related to our inability to determine Reality from fantasy, from real people versus what's entirely generated from a computer screen. And the videos of this girl appearing as a guest on podcasts are probably the most convincing part possible with messages that are super empowering to women. How not to let a man drag you down. Go girl. Attitude and energy. But are basically just so intentionally vague that it applies to anyone watching. So there's no real substance to these deep, meaningful messages that she's delivering to her audience. And I mean, no one works harder than a woman who realizes no one is coming to save her and that she's the one who has to build her own dream with God by her side. With God by her side. Interesting. So I did another little deep dive. Olivia has massive numbers of Instagram highlights for her stories, one of which is called Faith. And if you pull it up, there are two slides highlighted here from her previous Instagram stories nine weeks ago. First is a picture of her sitting in her bed reading the Bible, wearing little angel PJ sets that says, before I start my day, I like to tap into the word of God. And the second slide is from when she hit 25,000 followers on Instagram. And it's this long generic message giving glory to God for all of the people who are following her account. I'm not lucky. I'm beyond blessed. To God be the glory. Thank you, God. I also thank you for 25,000 followers. I'm blown away. I'm honestly emotional writing this. I'm emotional writing this. As an AI bot, I'm filled with a large number of powerful emotions. So grateful, so humbled, and so blessed beyond words. It's only the beginning and I have so much beautiful content coming for you all. You all saw something in me and I'm about to deliver in 2026. Love you babes, and welcome. And then quotes two Bible verses at the bottom from the book of Ephesians and from the book of Matthew. Don't love that. Don't love that. Don't like that. There can only be negative consequences to dumbing down Christianity through an AI influencer versus evangelization opportunities to teach people about Jesus. Not feeling good about that one. And the more I have gone down the rabbit hole about all of these things, the more I am realizing that Olivia Brand is just one of many and that basically it's impossible for us to distinguish who is actually a real person and who is AI. Who knows? I be AI talking to you right now through this video. I don't know. But just as we see Olivia Brand applying all of her makeup with perfectly realistic skin texture, eyelashes, flyaway hairs. I'm now finding other AI generated influencers that at first blush don't even seem AI necessarily, but are getting freakier and freakier in their realisticness by the day. Some you still can kind of spot, although they're getting millions of followers anyway. Like Lil mikayla, who has 2.3 million million followers on Instagram, who kind of obviously is AI. I mean, if you actually look at her pictures, you're thinking, okay, you look like a cartoon character, like someone Asianified, the girl from the Polar Express. And she posts pictures of herself wearing weird cartoonish outfits, hanging out with celebrities and attending stuff at the Olympics that obviously look cartoonish and AI generated. But then you start looking at people like Aitana, who calls herself a virtual soul in her Instagram bio, has 393,000 followers on Instagram and again, whose videos and posts are getting millions of views, millions upon millions for not being real. But I am telling you right now that Motherf ker back there is not real. Itana has dyed her hair pink in the last few months, so you might have seen some of her videos before her. It's videos I don't even know before when she had dark brown hair. Now she has pink hair. And some of these pictures look so hyper realistic. I can't quite wrap my head around how this isn't a real human being. Whether that's her at a concert while on vacation in Brazil, her working out in the gym and taking mirror workout selfies in the mirror at the gym. Hang life lately, after all my travels, who traveled nowhere, she's not a real person. Or even doing like Day in the Life or About Me videos, introducing herself to her audience. Not a real person, a real cat either, probably. Is no one concerned about our ability to determine whether this is real or not? Oh, I'm just now putting together her name. I Tana. A I Tana. Oh, I get it. Making more sense to me now. There you go. My lack of critical thinking on the subject and some of the creepier comments on her videos are really starting to get to me. Like this one from Maven. Replacing myself with AI was the best decision ever. No, immediately no. Immediately no.

no, I've seen what I needed to see. Gonna be a no from me, dog. I just want to say this for the record right now, if something were to happen to me, I will never be okay with being replaced by AI. Okay, just take that on the record. And on that note, actually, my Husband and I have had to have really hard conversations in the last six months or so, as I'm sure you guys can imagine with everything that's happened, especially post Charlie, about what would happen if something terr were to happen to either one of us and unexpectedly we were to pass away from this life and start heading to the next one. And when it's our time, we wanna make sure that our friends, our family, the people that we love are not set up with a huge long to do list of a million things to do if we are no longer here, but instead have the space to experience love and togetherness and connection and certainly time to grieve when we're no longer around. Trust and Will is making it so much easier to safeguard our loved ones and our children's future, especially through generational planning by helping you build a stronger, smarter estate plan. Trust and Will has given my family so much needed peace of mind in starting to answer and ask some of the really hard questions about how to make a will, how to make sure our spouse is set up when we're no longer going to be here, how to put everything in Isla's hands should the necessity have to arise and in protecting our legacy when we are no longer here in this life but headed to the next one. As my husband and I have navigated all these questions in the past few months, we have loved using Trust and Will's services and completely understand why they are the most trusted name in online estate planning. It was super easy to sign up, it's so easy to understand all of their various different packages and we know you guys are going to love using them as well. You can protect your legacy and your loved ones today, tomorrow and beyond by going to trustandwill.com Isabelle for 20% off and that is trustandwill.com Isabelle For 20% off so that you can start protecting yourself and your loved ones today. But is this like the social conditioning that they're trying to put into our brains? These AI influencers, other than Olivia Brand, the worst one that I've ever seen, my team found for me. Her name is Mia Zellu Zilou NATO Tomato calls herself a digital storyteller. And influencer. AI. She's making music now as an artist, releasing all of her songs on Spotify that you can download. And her pictures are the most realistic AI generated stuff out there I've ever seen. If I looked at this on the Internet, I would have no idea knowing that this was AI. I would genuinely think this is a real Person. They posted these to this account just a few days ago of her sitting on the beach and this inspirational message. You're not behind. You're just comparing your Chapter 3 to someone else's Chapter 20. Don't stress yourself out, girl. It's all going to work out for you. This photo, this series of photos in this carousel is terrifying. No part of this even remotely sends off the AI alarm bells in my head. She just looks like a hyper gorgeous sec girly from Birmingham, Alabama to me. Perfect tan. But she's got moles on her skin. She's got hairs out of place, baby hairs. She has the perfect reflection in her eye. The fire looks real, the beach looks real. The blanket and her clothes look real. On this last picture, if you zoom into her feet. Not that we always want to do that. Ew, gross. She literally has sand between her toes. Like this looks like a hyper realistic actual digital photo, not some AI generated algorithm that cranked out this photo in five minutes from an image generator. Mia has almost 250,000 followers on Instagram and I don't think people even realize that she's AI or not. Like, I know people who are following this account, fashion people, and I don't think they know she's not a real person. Look at this picture of her at the Super Bowl. The shadows, perfect. The lens flare, real. None of the writing is out of place, which normally is like our dead giveaway for AI videos. Don't love. Don't love. So look, whether it's Olivia or Mia or Mikayla or AI Tana Aitana, millions upon millions of people are taking real advice from people who aren't real. And what happens when we start building our lives, our identities, our families, our relationships from computer generated algorithms rather than an actual lived human experience? Who is getting all the money from these brand deals? Who is following all of these accounts? How can we trust those following? The accounts are real people versus AI generated bots. What's deeply troubling to me about this entire movement is that look at Olivia's Instagram bio, for example. She says she was created to create with a little Christian cross emoji next to it. She literally wasn't. Because she wasn't created. She doesn't exist. She has never lived a day in her life. But you were. I was. We as human beings were created from a loving God. In God's divine image, there is a sacredness, a reverence associated with humanity that cannot be copied in any other species of animal on the planet, and certainly not in a caricature. Of humanity given to us through a computer algorithm humans were created to create and now it seems we're even outsourcing our creativity to something that's not real. Out of convenience I guess. Presumably because the people actually running all of these things are likely running a business where they have real brand deals. Olivia recently posted. A Real Brand Deal with YSL Mascara so they're probably making asinine amounts of money with real companies and real contracts with people who are not real people. But at what point are we comfortable with this replacing the entirety of our human experience? Not just our creativity but our empathy, our emotionality, our sexuality, our intimacy? This is a terrifying slippery slope and I for one am not here for it. Maybe we should all scrub our instagrams this week to figure out if the people that we're following are actually even real people or not. Homework for you. The question is am I real?
