My sexy makeover is so unbelievable haters think I'm AI — but here's how I really went from drab to fab
A content creator named Dina has been accused of employing AI generation after undergoing a glow-up so drastic that she looked like a completely different person, as seen in a TikTok video with nearly one million views.
The video starts out with a photo of Dina in 2019 sitting on a stoop in glasses, jeans, a baggy turtleneck and a beanie.

It then cuts to a pic of the brunette from this year on similar steps, but this time she looks unrecognizable.

In lieu of her girl-next-door-esque ensemble, she is seen rocking a skimpy plunging black top, a cutoff skirt, and knee-high leather boots while flashing the camera a sultry look like something out of a fashion mag.
If that wasn't extreme enough, the bombshell's hair and eyebrows look straighter, her complexion is completely unblemished and her eyes have seemingly changed color from brown to olive.
'POV: You disappear for a few years and then post a story,' she captioned the clip.

Needless to say, viewers found Dina's transformation absolutely jaw-dropping with one awestruck commenter exclaiming: 'Damn, now that's a glow up.'
'I think I just passed out,' gushed another.
However, a few accused the smokeshow of employing some virtual voodoo to achieve the whiplash-inducing new look.

'It's AI guys,' scoffed one naysayer.
However, Dina, who boasts over 170,000 followers on TikTok, assured commenters that she didn't employ the aid of a digital fairy godmother.
'Lemme tell you guys I am not AI generated,' she declared in a followup clip where she looked similarly stunning.
She attributed her incredible metamorphosis to the fact that she's 'very good at doing makeup' and is wearing contact lenses.
Dina also dismissed allegations that the photo itself was AI-generated, demonstrating how she plucked it straight from the camera roll on her Smartphone.
'I am real so you guys can chill out,' she declared.

Nonetheless, perhaps skeptics could be forgiven in this age where AI models are becoming increasingly indistinguishable from the real deal.
In fact, hornball viewers have been hornswoggled by Mia Zelu, a synthetic influencer who has become an Instagram sensation by sharing hyperrealistic snaps of herself at various tennis events and elsewhere.
