As Al improves, we may see widespread replacement of human influencers with virtual ones.
It’s like they are slowly phasing out real humans in the public domain with pseudonymous names and virtual faces…Can an AI influencer get canceled? Can they claim plausible deniability for misdeeds that may occur because it’s artificial? Slippery slope indeed.

So many people looking for fulfillment in the wrong places
