[ExI] Amelia the AI spokesperson

[Stuart LaForge]

Ok, so let me clarify that as a yank, I do not necessarily have my 
finger in the pulse of politics in the UK. So as far as I can gather, 
there was a videogame released called Pathways which was some government 
propaganda about the UK's immigration policy. Amelia started out as a 
very simply drawn cartoon goth girl with pink hair and a purple dress. 
On the Internet she became the subject of anti-immigration memes which 
used her likeness as multiple artists refined her look, making her 
drawings more detailed and anime-like:

Then after a suitable corpus of memes featuring Amelia formed around the 
Internet, an X user prompted Grok to look at all the Amelia memes and 
then simulate her and spread her message. This was the result of AI 
bringing a fictional political cartoon/videogame character to life:

It is getting harder to tell actual video recordings from AI-generated 
video content than it is to tell butter from margarine.
