Lil 👏 Miquela 👏 Is 👏 Not 👏 AI

Lil Miquela is not AI.

I’ve heard the Instagram influencer referred to countless times in media and by industry experts as artificial intelligence.

She’s not.

She is a computer-generated-image (CGI) whose likeness is superimposed into Instagram photos taken in the real world.

Someone physically photoshops the images.

Someone physically posts to her account.

Someone physically engages with her community.

This. Is. Not. Machine. Learning.

Lil Miquela is not AI.
