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.

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

[–] ClamDrinker@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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.
