They’re Beautiful, Anti-European… and They Don’t Exist. They’ve also  Vanished from the Internet 

They are beautiful, eloquent—and entirely fictional. Videos promoting  Poland’s exit from the European Union (“Polexit”) recently surfaced online,  featuring young women generated by artificial intelligence. The content was  published on a TikTok account called Prawilne_Polki (“Righteous Polish  Women”).

As Euronews reports in an article published on its site euronews.com: “AI generated videos showing young and attractive women promote Poland’s EU  exit.” The author of the text, Aleksandra Galka Reczko, described videos  depicting young women wearing shirts emblazoned with Polish national  symbols, calling for Poland to leave the EU and expressing hard-right political  views.

“I want Polexit because I want freedom of choice, even if it’s more  expensive,” one of them “says.” “Yes, I want Polexit. Enough of Poland being  governed from Brussels,” another “declares.”

In another clip, one of the AI-generated figures asks: “Braun or Kaczyński?  Who do you think would be the best leader of the Polish right? Or do you  have other names that appeal to you more? I ask as a Polish patriot.”

The short videos were published on the Prawilne_Polki TikTok account,  aimed at young Poles. None of the women, however, actually exist. All of  them were created using artificial intelligence.

According to Polish fact-checking outlet Konkret24 („Prawilne Polki”,  eurokołchoz i polexit. Antyunijna propaganda napędzana przez AI; ang.  Righteous Polish Women,’ the Euro-collective farm and Polexit. Anti-EU  propaganda fuelled by AI”): “The channel itself on which the videos in  question are published has existed on TikTok since May 2023 but has only  operated under the name Prawilne_Polki since 13 December 2025.  Previously, it most likely belonged to an English-speaking user who shared  entertainment content unrelated to Poland. Those earlier posts remain visible  on the repurposed account.”

The purpose of this forgery is straightforward: to undermine trust in  institutions, weaken ties with the European Union, divide society, and  instil a sense of grievance and isolation. This is not a debate. It is not  pluralism of views. It is an influence operation.

The problem is not criticism of the European Union itself. The problem lies in  pretending to be someone else—using technology to manipulate emotions  and distort perceptions of reality. This is no longer a clash of ideas; it is an  attempt to steer society through deception.

Similar manipulations have appeared online before. It is therefore  unsurprising that Poland’s Ministry of Digital Affairs has formally requested  that the European Commission take supervisory action and initiate  proceedings against TikTok under the Digital Services Act (DSA), in  connection with the mass dissemination of AI-generated content calling for  Poland’s withdrawal from the EU.

“These contents pose a threat to public order, information security, and the  integrity of democratic processes in Poland and across the European Union,”  wrote Deputy Minister Dariusz Standerski. “The nature of the narratives, the  methods of their dissemination, and the use of synthetic audiovisual materials  indicate that the platform is not fulfilling its obligations as a very large online  platform (VLOP).”

He added: “The scale of this phenomenon, its potential consequences for  political stability, and the use of generative technologies to undermine the  foundations of democracy require an immediate response from EU  institutions.”

For now, AI-generated figures are still recognisable as artificial. The real  problem is that for many teenagers, they already feel more real than real  people.
