TLDR

An AI-generated social media account known as the Bush Legend, which features an Aboriginal avatar, has gained over 180,000 followers across Meta platforms. However, the account has raised ethical concerns due to the use of an Indigenous avatar without consent, leading to accusations of cultural appropriation and 'digital blackface'. Experts argue that AI-generated content can perpetuate stereotypes and cultural harm, and it is crucial to involve Indigenous people in the creation of such content.
