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.

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.

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?
