“Influencer” is the first job I’ve heard threatened by AI where I think I’m on the side of AI. Reviewers serve a valuable purpose. Influencers are parasites who prey on the people without critical thinking skills.
The term “influencer” is about as descriptive as “AI” now, it’s way too big a category to really say anything useful about.
Personally I would consider independent product reviewers as “influencers”, and companies being able to fake that by paying a real person via strict sponsorship terms or using AI are both a huge problem.
but at least they are people? Now corporations are just doing it themselves and “influencers” are now out there on the job market like the rest of us. So I am still very much “fuck AI taking our jobs” in this scenario.

It’s not as if being “AI” makes it any less reliable as a source of actual experience/opinions.

There’s the distinction I needed to hear. Agree.
