There’s been a rise of virtual influencers in recent years– computer-generated personalities who are just as active on social media platforms as real humans are. Many companies are investing in what’s called the “digital human economy,” a bullish market that is forecasted to reach $125 billion by 2035, per Gartner.

And now, thanks to the fascination with AI image generators Midjourney and Stable Diffusion, creating virtual influencers is a breeze, enabling anyone to produce fabricated lives who engage with fans as if they’re actual internet personalities.
