"I must admit that whoever created them, at least in this case, also significantly improved my appearance. But the fact remains: nowadays, absolutely anything is used just to attack and invent lies,"
She also added that deepfakes are a dangerous tool because they can deceive, manipulate, and affect anyone.
"That is why the rule must always apply: verify before believing, and believe before sharing. Because today it happens to me, and tomorrow it could happen to anyone,"
