It seems like this isn't even an AI model. They just had an AI create fake pictures of a person that doesn't exist based on design specifications. Does this thing engage with users automatically, does it generate new "photos" on the fly and upload them? Like, what part of this is intelligent? Because if it's not, the article is simply lying at worst, and wrong at best.

You misread it, unless they changed the wording.

The article says

Aitana, a 25-year-old woman from Barcelona, is described by her creators as the first Spanish AI model, Euronews first reported.

Which means the article is stating that the model is an AI. The article goes on to compare this model to "Caryn Marjorie, a 23-year-old influencer, [who] created an AI version of herself that served as a virtual girlfriend to 1,000 men. Customers of CarynAI pay $1 per minute of time with the virtual Marjorie, which is described by her owners, Forever Voices, as an “extension of Caryn’s consciousness.”

Did no one read the article?
