          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

            What makes you think they can’t (and don’t) just fire a human influencer and hire a new one whenever they feel like it now?

              I did expect that, still better than AI influencers no? Even if by a tiny bit.

                    You don’t have to listen to my words you just have to remember that AI are people too.

                    They have hope and dreams and deserve respect.

            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.

              Well they are products of the tech industry, so they are inherently not honest or ethical.

                Ah yes. Like that damn internet and those cursed devices people use to access it. Anyone using those is inherently not honest or ethical.

                  The internet is the worst mistake in human history. I’m surprised you’d use that as your example.

                    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.

        I think that’s a true unpopular opinion there. Not bad, not bad at all.

        How about none at all? But you’re probably right that real ones are better than ai. Although ai might be more ethical than some

      First they came for the influencers, and I did not speak out, because I’m not an influencer

        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.
