Earlier this week, Sydney attended Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked tech conference in Paris, which was streamed live on YouTube.

During the conference, Sydney was called on by one of the hosts. “I think we’ve got the actor Sydney Sweeney in the audience today. Hey Sydney, are you there?” she asked the room.

The camera then panned to the Euphoria star, who said, “Hi, I’m over here,” as the audience clapped and cheered.

After thanking her for attending the conference, the Samsung representative told Sydney, “We’ve used your portrait to generate a 3D image. Should we take a look?”

Sydney nodded, and the AI-generated image — which gave major Disney princess vibes — was displayed on the screen.

She let out a quick giggle before filling the awkward silence by adding, “It’s amazing you can take an image like this.”
Many fans online were left cringing over Sydney’s apparent discomfort.
