The fake profile is one of many being tested on Instagram. Its bio bizarrely claims the robot is a "momma of 2" and "your realest source for life's ups and downs."
Influencers are making an extreme amount of money, and Meta doesn’t get a bite of that specific cake.
Now they make their own influencers to funnel that money away from the people and into the company instead.
If they succeed with making popular AI bots, they can control user buying behaviour and political views like no other. Because you are much more likely to follow a “person” you trust than an ad. (the reason why influencers are a success to begin with.)

I didn’t think of it in this way, but it does sound very convincing.
Meta would love to essentially make fake virtual influencers to get all their money and have more control.
Pedons really got to do better on this. Socially starved losers needing their parasocial relationships and then they wonder why they are poor.
