The company has been inundated with requests from thousands of other influencers asking for their own AI clones, according to Meyer. “We really see this as a way to allow fans of influencers to connect with their favorite person in a really deep way: learn about them, grow with them and have memorable experiences with them,” he said.

If this gets popular and more common in society, we're going to see somebody harm a person who put their voice/mannerisms into this AI because they're not going to be able to differentiate between the AI and the actual person. I'm not going to lie, would be neat to pretend that you're interacting with someone famous, but it's going to open a big can of worms when someone "forgets" it's fake and goes full on stalker in real life.

So basically the influencers would get paid for doing fan service, while not actually having to interact with said fans. Makes sense that there was so much demand coming from that direction.
