    If you only do the easy part, then yes that’s infinitely replaceable. Being a pretty face is exactly that, and AI can do that all day long.

    Being actually entertaining and engaging, though, is a different story, and AI is struggling to pick that up. And of course teams of corporate marketers continually fail at this.

    But yes, the “job” of “being attractive on the internet” can now be outsourced to machines.

      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.

        Clearly you haven’t spent 3 minutes playing with StableDiffusion. AI has already plumbed the depths of human awfulness.
