How to make real cash from AI influencers
1. Get ChatGPT to create a list of the most sought-after models aged 20-30. Feed their pictures into generative AI and ask it to create an amalgamated image
2. Use the AI to tweak the image of this fictional influencer (FI) to get rid of any glitches and make them as good-looking as possible. Give them an exotic name
3. Get the AI to create a whole series of images of your FI having fun in different scenarios (on a yacht, on a white sand beach, in a helicopter, chopping wood)
4. Give the images a provocative undertone (but nothing that would scare an advertiser) and post on a new social media account under the made-up name
5. Build up followers, eager to engage with this impossibly good-looking character and their glamorous life. Increase the tempo of their posts
6. Have an AI chatbot answer all messages from the FI’s followers in a slightly provocative fashion (but nothing that would scare
an advertiser)
7. Sell endorsements to advertisers: post AI-created images of your FI wearing their clothes, holding their products and visiting their tourist destination
8. Repeat the process for different influencer ages and ethnicities. Employ some influencers you forced out of business to catalogue all your freebies
9. You are now rich. Bribe your way into the presenter role on Traitors. Secretly make yourself the only traitor.
