lol beauty pageants aren't creepy enough so let's do it with pretend women?
And somehow it's an "influencer." Why is anyone being influenced by a fake person?!
Aren't all influencers fake people?
(I mean they're people but everything about them is fake)
But at least they exist! This is like taking fashion advice from the tooth fairy.
Hey, it was a phase, and we agreed to never speak of that again.
You did look darling in that tutu.
Have you met people?
Trekkies.
Comic book fans.
Gamers.
Book worms.
Shall I continue?
As someone who asked the question and is also all of those things, perhaps you can explain how any of them involve a simulated person a computer created using words a computer wrote with humans only being superficially involved.
Being influenced by "Luke Skywalker" is still being influenced by a human writing a script and an actor reading that script. You're still looking at a real person and hearing words a real person wrote. And I think anyone on that list is aware that they are not being influenced by the character itself because, unlike what Galaxy Quest may have told you, we don't all think it's secretly true.
That was your original question, and I answered it.
You added more context and I don't see how that's different.
Bro, you're dismissing the tons of people who created the technology lol! The chipmakers, the computer makers, the software makers - all human, so...
But let's entertain your argument. You're saying that the artificial entity was created by something not human. Let's expand my list of examples, then:
People are heavily influenced by those too.
And let's have her follow made up religious rules from another imaginary friend!
