The Samsung shirt worn by the character gave the idea that she might be Samsung's new virtual assistant.
The excitement was palpable.

Maybe too palpable.
Samsung made a virtual assistant avatar and within 5 picoseconds I've seen porn of her.

Some people are down bad galactically lmao.
Turns out, Samantha Samsung is not coming to a Samsung phone near you anytime soon.
According to Polygon, a design firm named Lightfarm created the images with a marketing company owned by Samsung.
However, it was not used in any campaign, and was instead reportedly stored on Lightfarm's site.
A quick check on the Wayback Machine shows this particular model on the Lighfarm virtual assistant URL.
Samsung of course already has a virtual assistant, called Bixby.
