(And if this isn’t going to happen, why are people lining up to throw millions of dollars at it? We forget they are gambling.) The way funding is heaped onto every startup that gets 15 minutes of attention from the press typically makes the success of bizarro-world innovations feel inevitable and unavoidable - the most barbed response we can summon the energy for is to drag out that same tired Jurassic Park meme about the hubris of making shit for no reason. The future of commerce.Īre these lithe, high-resolution bodies really coming for the jobs held by models and scene kids for the last several decades?īut are these lithe, high-resolution bodies really coming for the jobs held by models and scene kids for the last several decades? There is little evidence so far that this is the case, beyond a handful of successful Instagram accounts and a lot of conversation. Suddenly, virtual influencers were the future of ads.

After months of speculation in Instagram comments and on news sites - with theories ranging from “Sims marketing stunt” to “horrifying social experiment” - the secret was revealed and was shockingly mundane: Yeah, it’s advertising. Of course, no arguably useless technological innovation actually comes from nowhere, and she was no exception. The most famous example of the virtual influencer is Lil Miquela, who debuted on Instagram in April 2016, as if from nowhere. Also - she’s not real! She was made by a computer to look as much like a hot and charming human being as possible without scaring people. She is mysterious, yet her personality is fantastic.
