What is an AI Influencer: on Instagram, girl, generator

In the rapidly evolving social media landscape, a new phenomenon has emerged - AI Influencers. These virtual characters, created through generative AI, are changing the Influencer landscape. In this article will look at what defines an AI Influencer, how they work and how to create one.

What is an AI influencer?

An AI influencer is a digital persona or character that has been fully created using artificial intelligence to engage and interact with online audiences. AI influencers are computer generated and can be programmed to simulate human-like behaviour. Think Anna de Armas' holographic AI character, JOI, in Blade Runner 2049, but in a non holographic form. 

Why use an AI influencer?

AI influencers can be designed with specific prompts, such as styles, personalities and specific traits that appeal to specific demographics. There are multiple uses for AI influencers, such as marketing, advertising and entertainment. The appeal of AI influencers lies in their ability to work around the clock, maintain consistency, and adapt to changing trends rapidly. They are effectively blank slates that can be adapted into any situation or circumstance that you want. However, their authenticity and the ethical considerations surrounding the use of AI in influencing are subjects of debate within the influencer marketing landscape.

Who is the most popular virtual influencer?

Recently the AI Instagram influencer Aitana Lopez has been trending recently after it was revealed that the agency behind the AI model has been earning up to €10,000 per month through brand deals, and exclusive content.

However, currently the most popular AI influencer is Miquela Sousa, also known as @lilmiquela on Instagram. She has over 2.7 million followers and has had brand deals with Prada and Calvin Klein.
