- The woman behind the two‑second autorickshaw selfie, which has drawn roughly 100 million views, said AI images and videos using her face were spreading without her consent.
- She posted that the situation had affected her heavily and urged people to stop feeding real people’s photos into AI tools, after which her X account was locked.
- Hindustan Times reported her lock notice included a warning that such uploads carry real‑life consequences and a call to seek consent before using images in AI platforms.
- Free Press Journal noted at least one widely shared AI clip, depicting her driving an Audi, was fake and that she publicly refuted it.
