AI man takes over social media: what is he doing?

In September of this year, a remarkable AI-generated figure appeared on social media, particularly Instagram. This man gained a staggering one hundred thousand followers in just a few days. His presence is now impossible to miss on social media: with a few clicks, he appears directly in users' feeds.
