Before getting into this specific case, it helps to understand that an AI influencer is a digital character created using artificial intelligence that appears on social media as if it were a real person.

On Instagram, these accounts can feature photorealistic images, videos, captions, and brand promotions designed to resemble content shared by human influencers.

Ivy Vile is an AI influencer who has gained views and followers by sharing AI-generated content on social media.

Recent posts and videos from the account falsely depict professional basketball player and Newport native Cooper Flagg appearing alongside the virtual personality, as if they were childhood friends.

The videos are AI-generated and do not show real interactions involving Flagg.

They should not be interpreted as evidence that Flagg has any real connection or relationship with the virtual character.
