> AI influencers are already here, ...and amassing far more followers than actual people The only one I've seen that gained any significant following is Neuro-sama, and that's largely thanks to Vedal's own constant involvement, during streams, in trying to improve her, by coding plugins to interact with games, training her, and combining different models (text and visual) and having her interact with chat and himself. Essentially Neuro-sama is more of an extension of Vedal, and wouldn't exist without his efforts. Also half of what makes her entertaining is the banter between her and Vedal. He's a great straight man to her wacky sayings and non sequiturs. Not saying there won't eventually be some big AI influencers, but I don't see them taking over anytime soon, or even most people prefering them to actual people even when they do become widespread (there will still be enough that do prefer the A.I. that I believe there can be a few that have big followings though). I think for the most part it will remain pretty niche, though. I watch Neuro-sama sometimes, but I watch content with actual people far, far more often (Neuro/Vedal is like ~0.1% of all the content I watch right now, while I could be watching most or all of time, as there's quite a few archives on Youtube/Twitch...but I don't). Also I'm assuming by making this claim you're aware of more than just Vedal/Neuro-sama, so I'm curious which AI influencers you're thinking of that have such massive followings.
