🤗 TikTok’s Virtual Influencers

According to a report by The Verge, TikTok is developing an AI technology to generate virtual influencers that would appear in videos to promote and sell products for advertisers.

This could change how products are advertised on the site, but it's still being developed, and it's not clear yet if they'll be as effective as human influencers.

From the perspective of the existing creators on the platform, this could pose a major threat to their revenue generation. TikTok's also recently shut down its $1 billion creator fund.
