These Influencers Are Going To Ruin Humanity

Just when you thought the internet wasn’t being destructive and dangerous enough, someone created an aesthetically perfect artificial intelligence influencer in June, and she’s going to ruin humanity.

An influencer called Milla Sofia on TikTok, who boasts more than 100,000 followers, isn’t real. She was created by someone known only as “the agent,” who has big plans for the faux human woman, according to a MediaPost. Sofia is arguably the definition of aesthetic perfection for young women, and a lot of people have fallen for her, which is probably the saddest thing I’ve heard about our species for quite some time.

Sofia was created via a few different artificial intellignece platforms to be a marketing tool, and her creator’s commentary is absolutely haunting. “With the help of AI, virtual model marketing can be done by one person at short notice,” the agent wrote, according to MediaPost. “While it takes many people and a lot of work to cooperate with the human model.”

Apparently social media is swarming with AI influencers, some of which are asking male followers for money in exchange for nude photos, the Daily Mail reported in July. (RELATED: Dear Kay: I Just Lost My Tech Job … To A Robot. Help!)

Obviously these nudes aren’t real, but men are still buying them. Not only do we women have to compete with the aesthetic mutilation normalized by the Kardashians, but now we have to contend with scam artists posing as fake women online? Humanity is ruined.
