AI-generated travel influencers — marketers love them! Real travelers, not so much
I have a feeling this is simply idiotic. Travel influencers are kind of useless anyway, so automatic synthetic bullshit replacing handmade artisanal bullshit is not really the biggest loss to humanity caused by AI.
Nah, people have loved travel stories for centuries. The markety fakeness to the point of straight up synthesis is the problem.
Oh, I love travel stories. Travel influencers make it about themselves and not the place, that's my gripe.
Right, if anything it's a positive if it means fewer "influencers" travelling all over the place using tons of CO2 and causing gentrification wherever they go + damage to the environment on precious world heritage sites then I say great!
Responsible, high quality documentary will always be a thing, these ais aren't replacing that anytime soon.
Isn't the whole point of travel influencers to allow conventionally attractive twenty-somethings to badger smallish local communities into giving them free room and board? If there isn't a just-out-of-college ex-cheerleader trying to get an exhausted b&b owner to comp them their weekend in exchange for a half-dozen Instagram photos, then what's even the point?
saw a marketer on bsky point out the attraction: influencers, and particularly travel influencers, are the most unreliable arseholes you'll ever find yourself paying to do something, and I can see that
