When you are an influencer online, you have the opportunity to interact with thousands, if not millions of people. Many women who have become influencers find that they are getting the attention of men and that includes one, who received up to 500 Valentine’s Day date requests.
Valentine’s Day is considered to be the most romantic day of the year and it’s amazing that it has come upon us already. People try to secure a romantic date for that particular day, and is good for those who are dating or have been together for many years.
One Internet influencer, Aika Kittie has received a flood of date proposals for the romantic holiday. These include trips abroad and luxury shopping trips, along with fine dining and almost anything that a person could want for a romantic getaway.
There’s only one problem, she isn’t real.
Despite the fact that she has almost 100,000 followers on Instagram and makes about $6000 per month, she doesn’t exist. This would be great for any content creator, but Aika Kittie is nothing more than a figment of our imagination.
Miss Kittie, as people call her, may be an online influencer but she is completely made from artificial intelligence. She is found on the subscription platform, Fanvue.
That platform is similar to other social media websites and apps that allow humans to interact and chat with each other. You can also chat with Miss. Kittie, but all of the answers will be coming from AI.
According to Fanvue, the artificial influencer has received over 500 Valentine’s Day proposals. That’s pretty amazing.
It took them hours to sift through all of the proposals and some of the over-the-top romantic offers that were heading in her direction over the past few weeks. According to her creator: “Aika has received Valentine’s proposals to take her shopping at Louis Vuitton, dinner at one of London’s top restaurants and even a romantic trip to Paris.
“In the past Aika has had offers to fly on a private jet to Dubai, and countless other holiday invites. She’s built such a loyal fanbase on platforms like Fanvue and Instagram through sharing her digital journey that so many fans want to meet her.”
Obviously, she will not be able to accept any of the dates in person but her creator still feels that she’ll be spoiled by all of the subscribers and fans who come on to send their love on the most romantic day of the year.
In fact, the creator thinks that February 14 will be the busiest day of the year for her and plans on working 18 hours to fix lonely hearts.
It is becoming more and more common for AI bots and fake influencers to create these types of para-social relationships. It has even been described by the Surgeon General as a ‘loneliness epidemic.’
According to a representative from Fanvue, “AI Influencers are able to build massive fanbases online, sharing their lives and journey through content – just like a human influencer would.
“Our chat service, which is available to all creators on our platform, is incredibly popular and we’re expecting a massive spike in user traffic as singletons choose to spend their Valentine’s online, rather than on a real world date.”
