AI-created “virtual influencers” are stealing business from humans::Brands are turning to hyper-realistic, AI-generated influencers for promotions.

      And? Go ahead and automate my job. I will find something else to do with my life. Good luck btw my work is a bit more complicated than pretending to be famous and harassing restaurants for free food until I am 30 fat or both.

          Who are those “they” always refered? Isn’t it that the humanity is doing all for this?

            The “they” are the wealthy executives and investors doing whatever they can to optimize every single penny into their pockets

            In a way it is “the humanity doing it to themselves”, but they sure aren’t asking the average worker how they feel about it, or letting them have any easier time because of it. If enough work is automated, they’d rather fire people and have one person work for two while the second person starves.

          Cool. So it’s been 8 hours. How far have “they” progressed? Do I still have to go to work on Tuesday?

          Sorry the influencer you follow can’t get free stuff anymore.

        It’s a well-known fact that most people think that all jobs can be automated except their own. Well, I’m distorting it a bit to extremes.

        As for me, I know my job can be automated. Actually, I’m automating it a bit to make fewer mistakes and give fewer fucks. And I know that eventually there may not be a need for me if I don’t change levels.

        Fields and professions are persistent, particular roles humans perform in them are not.

            Mixed up comments probably.

            Anyway, to you my question is - why do you think such a migration would work? You are older than when you entered your current profession. And it’s a competitive system, another people would have more experience than you.
