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.
