Ok, I'm all for worrying about the impact of AI in jobs but... Living advertisements are easy to replace, what a suprise.
People who make actual interesting and/or funny videos, those that require personal work and are a direct result of the creator's skills or interests, are not really at risk of this.
Wow, a bunch of assholes just getting paid for showing you free stuff they got, pretending to be relatable and your friend while evading their taxes in Dubai, may be out of business. And think of those parents who won't be able to exploit their kids by getting them free toys and exposing them to the whole world!
I don't think I will lose any sleep over this.
Are there actual original ideas coming out of these networks?
I mean yeah, far more than are coming out of Marvel, Disney and Hollywood in general.
(tbf that's not a really high bar. These companies ask writers to NOT take any risk with their writing so to not "rock the boat" so to speak)
