Coz influencers can be people lucking into it, with AI influencers it's mostly going to be brands cutting out the middlemen and making more money and reducing any chance of people receiving consequences of their actions as they can just delete that AI influencer and create a new one, whereas any human influencer will suffer the consequences even if very little for their actions
Whoah there: Who says AI influencers aren't the result of individual's honest work? You don't need an entire data center of computers to make your own AI influencer!
Don't assume there's a corporation behind every AI persona. It could just be one guy with a lot of VRAM getting creative with prompts in his parent's basement.
No worries my fellow unethical dishonest internet-using homie. It's not like nuance exists and things can be both good and bad. Everything is black and white, after all.
Right cuz blaming lobbyists and ad campaigns… that’s totally worked out for tobacco, guns, pharma and vehicle companies looking to shirk any accountability.
Give them some talent and they're essentially movie actors. It's just another form of entertainment and as little as I care about influencers this won't stop with them. Anyone that appears on camera is fair game to be replaced.
There are some things I won't be disappointed to see replaced by automation. Transitions are not well managed in this regard (retraining is expensive after all), but many jobs I feel should be automated because they suck. Not really sure where influencers fall on this scale... Can't imagine it's great for your mental health.
