Comment on AI-created “virtual influencers” are stealing business from humans

  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.

        Your anti-AI prejudice is showing.

    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.

    Right cuz blaming lobbyists and ad campaigns… that’s totally worked out for tobacco, guns, pharma and vehicle companies looking to shirk any accountability.
