Comment on How Chinese AI turned a Ukrainian YouTuber into a Russian

She’s very pretty and has a very “simple” face so I’m not surprised they picked her. And by simple I don’t mean stupid, I mean like that “you look easy to draw” meme. I’m not familiar enough with eastern Europe to identify people by their country but to me, she has a “racially ambiguous” face and generative AI seems to prefer those over faces with “unique” features which often get weird or distorted

I feel kinda gross commenting on the appearance of a stranger but hopefully that reads how I meant (not mysoginistic or creepy)

I had those same thoughts. She is very pretty and in a simple way. Her appearance is easily “from here”. Here being almost anywhere that someone with blond hair might be from.

I agree, I had the same thought. And not only is she very pretty, she's also "believably pretty"; she doesn't look like a movie star or an unrealistically attractive Instagram model, she looks like someone you could see walking down the street. She'd catch your eye, of course, and probably be the prettiest person you saw that day, but it's not like some pictures/videos I've seen of people where I've thought "I've never seen someone look that attractive in real life" and there's a bit of a disconnect because of it.

Using Olga's likeness, I suspect a lot of people can be fooled into thinking she's just a regular person who happens to be at the upper end of the attractiveness scale rather than a paid model, and I'm sure they very intentionally decided to steal her likeness for that reason.
