AI Influencers: The Collapse of Social Media

"Nudism is not allowed on Instagram, but they're secretly promoting more skin" That part right there...

We are not "heading" toward a Bladerunner future. We are already in it.

Wow Oprah really is a renaissance woman. She’s done everything and now she has her own browser…

I hope this will spur everyone to turn away from social media, heck who I am kidding we're doomed

You are mixing many things here, Virtual influencers and Ai influencers aren't necessarily the same.
Thirst traps and the naturalization of Sex and sex work may be due to our relation to sex and that's besides of Ai or virtual influencers, that started with real life people.
I think that's an interesting topic to cover

Good piece ! "AI influencers" are just anthropomorphised brands backed by companies. They exist only because of the huge pivot of so many humans being seen brands. Which of course, they are not. Brands have always been fake. If people desire a "relationship" with a P-Zombie, that's on them.

It may be Goofy.

OMG, I'm in love with this! So mesmerizing! 😍 👅👅👅🍌🍌🍌

"Real Influencers" themselves are already as fake as it gets, behind all the planning, editing and omission, behind all the filters, lighting, profesional cameras and make-up, there's a a real person but people don't like REAL they want to feel like those life-styles and beauty standards are relatable or achievable but without all the ugly truths.

you can create consistent character AI generations, the thing about LLM is that you can train your own custom model to be pretty much whatever you want. the more specific the better.

Anyone who gets "influenced" by these fake and real ones,is a moron and can't be helped irregardless of the tool used to influence them

''Influencers should be concerned because the jig is up''. Nah. People flock to influencers because there is some semblance of 'authenticity and realness' to them. If we're just talking about p*** or thirst traps though, yeah, booty is booty, CG rendered or real, for a lot of people. It will attract a lot of eyes. But AI influencers are very poorly disguised 'markerting by committee', at least with 'real' influencers, there is something of a veil still there(kinda, most people know what's up, but you know).

There is also a thing with AI, that's kind of masturbatory, in which we humans view it in, 'Oh wow, look what we achieved' sort of deal. So just because it's attracting attention now, the more it goes around, more people do it and people getting used to it, the less novel it becomes. I still do expect people doing 'real' Hatsune Miku though, or a AI BTS like band soon enough. I'm interested to see how far that can go.

Just like they say " sex sales "

why does everyone think we seek authenticity, the uber example its just a true crime story, people have enjoyed fantasy stories forever and it just turns into a more immersive medium, with ai characters able to give a deeper layer to a story being told.

people dont value authenticity they value fantasy

study zizek for this shit

It’s either the age of Ai or the age of zero trust. The more the AI is pushed to the limit of real vs fake…the more people feel tricked eventually. It’s feels many opportunistic people are reaping the short term Benefits while the long term damage doesnt benefit anybody. Just another hype/trend with the same characteristics as the one that went before it.

“Trust is hard to build, but easily broken”

collapse? bro… its just the begining!

Jealous? Also, your top 20% is showing. You have no idea how many lonely people are destined for a life without any connection, so they will take even fake things over literally nothing.

Maybe start by referring to them as "it" instead of "she", just to help keep the difference clear in our minds.

No they call you "creators" to make you be such as "like gods" unto yourselves. Soon "creators" will be able to create "worlds" as digital environments using hand gestures and thoughts. The human connection to the true God is being broken before your very eyes. You all are none the wiser, ah, so be it!

I'm only struggling in the dating or relationships goals. Everything else I'm pretty successful at. I guess I'm just ugly and unattractive to women in the states. Always ignored, and being called "boring" or "uninteresting." According to some friends I know due to asking women at my workplace. I was always that kid that gets ignored because of looks during my school years. 30 years of my whole life of never been on any dates or being in some kind of relationships. I just need to face the facts that I'm just an incel that cant attract women. No, I'm not upgrading myself to become these bad boys that treats women bad to get a women's attention or doing drugs to appeal to them as "fun". I go out to eat sometimes by myself, movies, even amusement parks by myself. I dont even know. I'm a failure at this level. I'm guessing I'm just very unattractive in the united states. I still think that "theres somebody for everyone out there" is a load of bologna.

I really don’t understand why people pay attention to these AI influencers— it’s weird. My brain just cannot understand it.

Guys . THIS could be the REAL Breakthrough. OPEN A.I. PAYS THE BILLS”. Heard on Spotify and You TUBE MUSIC. A strange guy who names himself WHUUPI Frogifun seems to know where this leads to. What do YOU think ?

They look like trash tho 😮

Great content. I love your music too!!!

Yes.. you were doing 'research'.. Dang.. I should do 'research' as well..

It’s truly comforting as a Gen Xer to see smart young people like yourselves so concerned.

To paraphrase Dostoevsky from the 1860’s: technology does not make us more kind, more intelligent, or improve us in any way. It merely sustains our ever broadening hunger for new stimulus.

I don't understand why people pay for AI generated OF content. But I really like that AI girls are getting better. Maybe one day real girls will need than just looking sexy again and won't get everything for free anymore.

Bravo👏🏽👏🏼✨

Influencers are fake on instagram anyway. Why should anybody care whether these influencers themselves are humans or not?

one of your best videos! congrats Caya!

CG artist here. Coca Cola DID NOT make that commercial ad with stable diffusion. stable diffusion was used for generating a few textures, and that's pretty much it. about a 5% or less of that ad is AI. what you see is skilled 3D artists working on a traditional CG pipeline. the guy who said it's AI doesn't have a clue.

the Miquela influencer is 100% CG, a 3D model, textured, rigged, animated manually, by humans. no midjourney, no stable diffusion, no Dalle. Now, the pink hair girl, she's made with Stable diffusion.

Top content - Worth spent 15 min!

Caryn is a high end escort lol. That’s well known.

I love this channel so much ❤️

You guys should reverse the order of your “Company Forensics” playlist. For viewing it’s better to have the videos in chronological order.

i dont like messi, speak for yourself

I think you just realized how much your value as a creator is. You don't create meaningful content but cheap entertainment. These avatars are more of a testamant to skill when done right but still explore something novel.

Remember that humans are programming these algorithms so when you see women in underwear more than 50% of the time over photos of anything else that’s the coders bias or they’ve intentionally done that

I always had this imaginary fear of what if my future daughter became an Instagram dancing girl. Now I don't have to worry about that. But about my future son addicted to AI girls

Dude seems to be worried about his job security. lol.

I am for AI influencers. The people behind them actually had to work hard and aren't just coasting on their looks

Bro its not complicated most people know damn well its fake thsy just horny and lonely. Fake media exists since forever dude, think porn, then magazines, then photoshop, then pranks and skits era, now its the deepfake golden era thats all. People want to be entertained and way to many people have way too much money. Tbh it doesn't take a 40hrs research to get this much ppl are simply loosers with too much money

Some adults like me can spot this crap... I feel sorry for the tik tok generations

Why did you think social networks were free?

best sellers are mostly fantasies, not authentic stories.
