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.

I'll remember to take your words into consideration SatansMaggotyCumFart

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.

Once we get real AI, sure

That’s that prejudice rearing its head again.

Do you want them to ride at the back of the bus too?

Only be worth 3/5 of a vote?
