Klava Koka hits back at AI claims over Lake Baikal music video
Singer Klava Koka has published a video responding to haters who accused her of using neural networks to create a clip with views of Lake Baikal. Even though the artist and her team visited Olkhon in December 2025.
‘AI is already getting on my nerves. The internet is flooded with artificial content, and under every one of my videos there are comments saying it«s a neural network,’ the girl says.
According to her, the team had to fly for 6 hours to Irkutsk, then just as long to get to Olkhon. Another hour was spent on the ferry crossing ‘for the ice, which hadn«t yet formed in December.’
‘A neural network? It«s -25°C (-13°F) outside. I»m wearing five layers of thermal wear. There are no toilets. No signal,’ Klava exclaimed.
And then she told about the adventures. The team got up at 5 a.m. to make it to the first ferry at dawn, but didn«t manage. Then it turned out that they had forgotten the red carpet, ‘around which the entire shot is built.’
‘The daylight is very short. By 4 p.m. it«s already dark, and we have four locations. On top of that, the car gets stuck due to snowdrifts, and the equipment shuts down in the cold. Pristine ice — a neural network? Oh, yes! That»s probably why we«re clearing snow with the whole team,’ the girl says sarcastically and shows footage of the guys sweeping the ice.
And the team also encountered two foxes.
‘While one distracted us, the other stole food from the car,’ Klava shared.
After sunset, they had to recall their life safety lessons to light a big fire, and shake a tree so that snow would fall beautifully in the frame.
‘A neural network will never replace such shots and emotions when you bring your saved pins from Pinterest to life. I«m for creativity and experiences lived with the team. And who cares that for many hours you can»t feel your feet from the cold, but you feel life. Who cares that the way back will take another 15 hours. And instead of sleeping, we«ll be editing, but be proud of ourselves,’ Klava Koka stated.
This week it became known that blogger Dava from Novosibirsk set off on a trip with his wife. The couple flew to the Maldives.
