Christopher Travers, the founder of virtualhumans.org, has suggested to Bloomberg that virtual influencers could be here to stay.
In his statement, he said that virtual influencers, while fake, have real business potential. He further added that they are cheaper to work with than humans in the long term, are 100% controllable, can appear in many places at once, and, most importantly, never age or die.
