The truth about a woman who has been branded as the 'most beautiful in the world' has been revealed.
Named Nia Noir, the 'model' has garnered millions of followers on social media, many of whom commented on her supposed natural beauty.
She boasts 2.7 million followers on TikTok where Nia posts videos of her dancing, enjoying vacations, and general selfies. Her videos have amassed hundreds of millions of views online, with one particular clip having been seen over 198,000,000 times at the time of writing.
"Your beauty is truly a masterpiece," someone gushed on one of Nia's videos.

"You're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen," a second said. A different person questioned how Nia wasn't a model.
Nia went particularly viral after posting snaps with wrestler-turned-actor John Cena in the gym.
But some have been feeling red-faced after learning that Nia is in fact artificial intelligence, and the photo with Cena was fake. Feel duped? Me too.
As to how online sleuths worked out that Nia isn't real, her hands were the biggest giveaway.
In one particular video where Nia's hands are very visible, somebody penned: "omg this is so obvious."
"I’m crying her hands it’s so obvious," said another.
Others have noted that her videos appear to be exact replicas of others content creators' clips, the dancing ones in particular.
Elsewhere people spotted that Nia had a different kind of cellphone in each of her selfies. Sometimes she had one type of iPhone, only to have another Apple model in a different snap shared soon after.
It's unclear who Nia is based off (if anyone), but it's now becoming the norm for well-known faces to sell their likeliness to AI companies. Back in 2024, OnlyFans star Chloe Amour revealed she'd sold her likeness as a way to keep up with fans' demands.
"When I chat with my fans directly, sometimes there’s things that they want to talk about with me, or there’s things that they want from me that I might not be able to give them," she explained at the time.
"But through AI, they have the same likeness of me, and it’s like I can be everything that they want me to be in a sense."
Porn star Nicole Aniston has done similar but for different reasons. Speaking to UNILAD back in June 2024, Aniston explained that she'd seen some 'horrific' examples of her face on another content creator's body and vice versa.
She hated the idea of the mashup, so instead, she took matters into her own hands and created her own AI twin that was 'authentically [her]'.
