Through three distinct examples gaining growing attention on social media \u2014 Dida Zvonko from Velebit, Emily Pellegrini, and Ante Ili\u0107 \u2014 we explore what AI influencers bring to the world of communication, how they balance the real and the imagined, and where the line lies between creative and (ir)responsible communication.<\/p>\n

Dida Zvonko from Velebit<\/strong>
\nOne of the most famous AI influencers in Croatia is Dida Zvonko from Velebit, a virtual character inspired by the tradition and humor of the Velebit mountain region. Through local dialect, jokes, and anecdotes, he connects with his audience, evoking a sense of togetherness and nostalgia. Dida shares natural remedies and offers his followers an e-book with selected tips and stories, and today, he has as many as 408,000 followers on Instagram.
\nHis success shows how strong an emotional connection audiences can form with a virtual persona, especially when the content is infused with local identity and humor. But that\u2019s also where the potential danger lies. When an AI profile shares advice on nutrition or health based on folklore rather than expert verification, it creates a risk of misinformation. Audiences sometimes fail to distinguish between real experts and digital creations, raising questions about responsibility and ethics in AI communication.<\/p>\n

Emily Pellegrini<\/strong>
\nEmily Pellegrini, a global virtual influencer focused on fashion and lifestyle, was created when her creator asked ChatGPT to describe \u201cthe dream woman of an average man.\u201d The result, a girl with brown hair and long legs, became the foundation for Emily\u2019s creation. \u201cI wanted her to be appealing, attractive, and as realistic as possible,\u201d explained her creator.
\nHer stylized, almost cinematic posts demonstrate how AI can create consistent, visually striking content that engages audiences and builds a recognizable brand. However, Emily also raises important questions about unrealistic beauty standards and authenticity. When virtual models become the ideal people compare themselves to, it distorts the perception of reality. AI influencers like Emily can be inspiring, but they can also reinforce social pressures and expectations, highlighting the need for careful and responsible use of such tools.<\/p>\n
