Right, but for corporations once you mention the lack of risk that your AI influencer will rape some kids or turn out to be something equally horrible the equation becomes infinitely skewed in the AI's favor.

So, what I'm saying is, rule34 people gotta get to work making all those AI do horrible things and we'll be back to expecting our brand shills to have a heartbeat.
