An AI-generated influencer on Instagram called Jean Phil (@jean_philanthrope) has gained a huge following, leaving some people wondering whether the so-called “dead internet theory” is becoming a reality, according to Ladbible. Its videos have attracted millions of views.
Jean Philanthrope is not a real person. It is a creepy-looking AI character with bleached blonde hair in a bob cut, a curled moustache and an unusually long neck. He wears a suit with a bow tie, and his videos often show him standing in places such as Paris, near the Eiffel Tower, or at restaurants and museums before suddenly breaking into a series of shadowboxing moves.
