As Harley Quinn and Barbie, she has become an icon of two distinct, massive fandoms (comic book bros and nostalgic millennial women). Her face is encoded in millions of digital memories.

Deepfakes work best on actors with highly expressive faces. Robbie’s ability to convey manic joy, cold fury, or devastating vulnerability with a twitch of her brow makes her a "rich data set" for AI training.
