“Influencer” With Handsome Idol Visuals Goes Viral After Tricking Everyone

A theqoo post titled “The Job That Will Be Replaced by AI First” claimed that social media influencers could soon be displaced due to the rise of AI-generated content.

To prove their point, OP shared multiple photos of an “influencer”…

…only to reveal they generated them using Gemini.

With Gemini, I generated all these photos and had him change the poses in under 5 minutes.

I can even change the outfits… So who’s going to pay or sponsor real influencers now, just because they’re handsome or pretty? LOL.

The photos, though, have since made the post viral, with hundreds of comments in disbelief that the person in them isn’t real!

• OK, these photos look quite real. I would not have known.
• I mean… I feel like people might be tricked at first, but once they find out it’s AI-generated, I think it’s hard to really like.
• This just scares me. It could easily be abused for criminal activities.
• Oh, wow. He’s f*cking handsome. His visuals are trendy, too, just like how fans like it these days.
• Wow…
• Holy sh*t, I almost asked for his name.

• He’s so good-looking.
• Like, there’s nothing awkward or creepy about him now. AI has nailed making them look real and natural…
• WTH? This looks so real.
• He honestly looks better than real human influencers who botch their Photoshop edits.
• Yo, he’s f*cking hot LMAO.
• How handsome.

• OK, yeah, this scares me. I wouldn’t be able to tell what’s real from AI at all.
• He was generated so well, like… He has a face that everyone would like.
• WTF? He’s a hottie.
• This is terrifying.
• IDK, though. Influencers are influential because they exist IRL.

While some comments did discuss AI and its impact on the world as we know it, most were too stunned to speak after seeing the “idol-like visuals” of the AI model.
