Dana Beauvoir

Both French outlets that covered her launch in February 2020 say plainly that she is not a real person. L'ADN calls her a virtual influencer and writes that "Dana n'existe pas (vraiment)", and Les Gens d'Internet says "Elle n'est pas réelle" and files her among virtual influencers, conceived by three friends through the association #WeAreAllDana. VirtualHumans.org, a directory of virtual influencers, lists her too, though a listing alone is only a lead.

The only human the coverage names is Eva Jacquot, who manages the Instagram account and spoke to L'ADN about the brands the team wanted to work with. She is described as running the account, not as a model, voice or body behind the character, and no page names anyone who poses for or performs Dana. That makes her a made-up persona run by a small team rather than a real person using a pseudonym.

What the pages do not say is how her pictures were made: neither article explains whether she is a 3D render, an edited photo or produced with image generation tools, so "AI" here means a synthetic, invented character rather than a confirmed use of generative AI. The account has been dormant since January 2021, and VirtualHumans.org marks her as inactive or discontinued.
