AI-created “virtual influencers” are stealing business from humans::Brands are turning to hyper-realistic, AI-generated influencers for promotions.
Oh no. People who use their good looks to push lifestyles that are unattainable are suffering the smallest bit of inconvenience. Oh no.
Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving bunch honestly
my problem with it is that we may be next
And? Go ahead and automate my job. I will find something else to do with my life. Good luck btw my work is a bit more complicated than pretending to be famous and harassing restaurants for free food until I am 30 fat or both.
they are experimentally automating lawyers and doctors already, complexity is not the determining factor here.
what is that something else in life you are going to do when they start pitching us to compete against machines? i can bet my ass on the fact they will use it to devalue human labour as much as possible, and most people cant afford to survive as is.
Who are those “they” always refered? Isn’t it that the humanity is doing all for this?
The “they” are the wealthy executives and investors doing whatever they can to optimize every single penny into their pockets
In a way it is “the humanity doing it to themselves”, but they sure aren’t asking the average worker how they feel about it, or letting them have any easier time because of it. If enough work is automated, they’d rather fire people and have one person work for two while the second person starves.
in this specific case “they” are tech corporations, tech ceos and their respective shareholders which might include a part of the global burgeoise.
i think this tech would be used much differently if the rest of the knowledgeable people in humanity had a say/vote on it, besides financial interest.
Cool. So it’s been 8 hours. How far have “they” progressed? Do I still have to go to work on Tuesday?
Sorry the influencer you follow can’t get free stuff anymore.
You are naive to think stuff like this will change overnight. And you might be if you think you are getting singled out and spared.
I don’t follow influencers nor do I have any traditional social media.
It’s a well-known fact that most people think that all jobs can be automated except their own. Well, I’m distorting it a bit to extremes.
As for me, I know my job can be automated. Actually, I’m automating it a bit to make fewer mistakes and give fewer fucks. And I know that eventually there may not be a need for me if I don’t change levels.
Fields and professions are persistent, particular roles humans perform in them are not.
Go ahead! What part of me inviting you did you not grasp?
Mixed up comments probably.
Anyway, to you my question is - why do you think such a migration would work? You are older than when you entered your current profession. And it’s a competitive system, another people would have more experience than you.
That isn’t your concern really, it is mine. Now how is it going with it? Am I going to work on Tuesday?
Web designers?
Or they’re just not good enough and there are prettier ones out there? God forbis Rachel’s only fans isn’t top because maybe she’s not that good at showing her pussy? Like anything in life, competition is a bitch.
Liking somebody for looks and such behavior only is not worse or better than disliking somebody for looks and such behavior only.
Ok?
If that meant that you don’t get my comment, then:
Gloating is bad.
It’s not a bad thing that someone could live fancy without killing people or stealing or embezzling funds in some administrative position, or something of the listed indirectly.
Various shitcoin schemes go here too.
Removed by mod
What could you possibly say that got removed by mods?
That makes sense. The goal always seemed to be as fake as possible.
Oh no, fake people are stealing fake jobs from fake people!
Anyways…
Oh no, those poor influencers … anyway …
Better than AI influencers
In what way?
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
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.
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.
Right cuz blaming lobbyists and ad campaigns… that’s totally worked out for tobacco, guns, pharma and vehicle companies looking to shirk any accountability.
I think that’s a true unpopular opinion there. Not bad, not bad at all.
Thanks, I’ll not be here all day
How so?
How about none at all? But you’re probably right that real ones are better than ai. Although ai might be more ethical than some
First they came for the influencers, and I did not speak out, because I’m not an influencer…
Give them some talent and they’re essentially movie actors. It’s just another form of entertainment and as little as I care about influencers this won’t stop with them. Anyone that appears on camera is fair game to be replaced.
There are some things I won’t be disappointed to see replaced by automation. Transitions are not well managed in this regard (retraining is expensive after all), but many jobs I feel should be automated because they suck. Not really sure where influencers fall on this scale… Can’t imagine it’s great for your mental health.
