"Videos of Amelia typically feature her walking through London, or the House of Commons, declaring her love for England and warning of the dangers of militant Muslims or third-world migrants. In one clip she is harangued by bearded man in Islamic attire for eating a pork sausage. The message is one well rehearsed on far-right social media, but it is the AI invention of Amelia that has made her endlessly adaptable,"
"Users of X have turned to its Grok AI tool to create so many Amelia memes, she is now breaking out of niche online silos. The origins of the character are ironic, to say they least. An early iteration of Amelia began life in a counter-extremism video game funded by the UK Home Office and created to deter young people aged 13-18 from being attracted to far right extremism in Yorkshire."
