While Zelu, who has more than 158,000 followers on Instagram, is stunningly beautiful, there’s more to her than meets the eye.

According to her bio, Zelu is a “digital storyteller” and “influencer-AI” — meaning all those shots of her at the All-England Tennis Club are all thanks to artificial intelligence.

In recent photos, the blond bombshell is pictured in the stands and among other fans at the tennis tournament.

More Wimbledon-related photos show her sipping on the event’s iconic Pimm’s drink and elsewhere on the grounds in London.

“Still not over the event… but the party’s a whole other game,” she captioned the post.

“Which Wimbledon match was your fave?”

The fake content creator — whose creator is unknown — also shares very human-like thoughts and feelings in her captions.

In her most recent Wimbledon post, Zelu wrote, “They’ll only notice once it works. But you’ll remember every moment it didn’t — and you kept going anyway.”

She added: “To everyone out there building in silence, doubting in private, hoping in secret — don’t stop. Your time will come. Keep showing up. Never give up.”

In one post, the fictitious poster even spoke about mental health struggles.

“You know what’s exhausting? Pretending you’re okay while you’re slowly burning out,” the AI-generated influencer declared in one post where she appears more sombre yet equally gorgeous.

“Smiling in messages, staying ‘productive,’ answering ‘all good!’ while everything feels off.”

Zelu added, “We’ve all done it. Some of us are still doing it. Because being honest feels risky. Because we don’t want to seem weak or dramatic. Because it’s just easier.”

It appears not even influencers are safe from new AI tools that allow users to generate hyperrealistic images that make it difficult for the untrained eye to notice.

Despite the fact Zelu discloses that she is “AI” in her profile, that hasn’t stopped admirers flooding the comments sections of her posts with proposals and compliments.

“Are you real?” one person asked, apparently unironically.

Another noted: “Naturally beautiful, the Christie Brinkley of this era.”

One even commented on her skincare, to which Zelu replied, “Filters.”
