Natalia Novak

Futurism's August 2023 piece states outright that Natalia "doesn't actually exist" and that her likeness is the product of an AI image generator. The outlet interviewed her creator, a 20-something software systems engineer named Pierre, who says he usually calls himself her "manager" and plays a character. He did not claim a real woman is behind the account.

Her own Instagram bio, as recorded in the research, reads "21yo American. Cover Girl for Autobabes Magazine #aimodel", so the account labels itself as AI. Pierre told Futurism he drops "clues" such as hashtags, terminology and intentionally placed bad hands, and that most creators of this kind use some form of disclosure. Futurism also noted that many commenters never mention that she is AI.

The evidence comes from the operator and the account itself. No page names a human model, performer or voice behind the images, and the posts read were images and reels with no sign of a filmed person. Pierre is the operator, not a performer. Still unknown: which tools he uses and whether any real photos or body references feed the images. The account has been dormant since June 2024. A third cited page, an article in Der Standard, could not be read for this assessment and is not relied on.
