People have all been sharing their concern over a new ‘model’ created by artificial intelligence – as it becomes even more worrying how realistic it’s developing to be
It’s no secret artificial intelligence is getting more advanced by the day and this AI model has become the latest talking point. A video of the ‘model’ called Michelle has sent people into a frenzy online, and she’s sparked a viral reaction.
The uber-realistic video sees Michelle sitting on a chair filming what looks to be a podcast. The ‘model’ appears to have brunette hair with a fringe, hazel eyes and freckles as well as a nose piercing. She is smiling at the camera and laughing – and even cracking jokes.
Created by Jeff Dotson, an American film director and photographer from Southern California, the 52-second video garnered attention online for it’s realism in content creation. However, there are concerns over the use of attractive women in AI demo videos, with many worrying about the blurred reality with AI-generated content.

In the video, Michelle said: “I guess the main thing is… wait can we start over? Sorry,” She then goes on to poke fun at the creator, saying: “This guy Jeff he can’t direct worth s***.”
The video goes into a close-up shot as makeup is applied to her face. She is then asked by a voice off-screen who created her, to which she cheekily replied: “Jeff… don’t worry, I’m working through it in therapy.”
When questioned over what she thinks of Jeff “as a creator,” she replied: “He’s okay, not a fan really.” The video then shows her taking part in a photoshoot, again looking scarily realistic. Michelle then quipped: “Am I single? Maybe? But also technically I’m stored on a server in Iowa.”
Taking to Facebook, Jeff detailed some key points about his AI creation and shared: “The first AI character I can actually keep consistent. Same face. Same vibe. Same personality, even across totally different scenes.” Michelle was created with AI-tools including Nano Banana Pro + Google Veo 3.1.
The video went viral on X, with many people sharing their thoughts with mixed reactions. One X user wrote: “I see AI as a great catalogue and search engine, but I see no useful benefit to fake people that can be taken for real.” While another bluntly said: “This should terrify everyone who sees it.”
A third added: “We are witnessing the end of social media as we know it. I’m all for this weird destruction because on the whole social media has been the worst part of the internet.”
In response to the comments, Jeff chimed in and said: “Anyone can make an AI model, but I wanted one that behaved like the same person every time. Nano Banana Pro built the identity, Veo 3.1 built the personality… consistency is what made her feel real. Working on some new stuff right now.”
