AI<\/a> influencers are cashing in on Coachella<\/a>, with some set to make tens of thousands from their content.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Among the celebrities and content creators, you may have noticed a surge in festival content from digital influencers.<\/p>\n

These glamourous men and women post photos and videos with celebrities, in front of the famous Coachella Ferris wheel, and decked out in carefully curated outfits.<\/p>\n

But the thing is, they don’t even exist \u2013 let alone attend the festival.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘COACHELLA. BESTIE EDITION. Best day with youuuuu,’ @its_gigi_mae captioned a photo of her walking through the festival grounds with another AI\u2013generated friend.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

@grannyspills posted photos with Kylie Jenner<\/a>, Kourtney Kardashian<\/a>, and Kendall Jenner<\/a>, joking: ‘The girls stopped by my section!’, while @digitallucas posted a topless photo, writing: ‘Coachella vibes all weekend.’<\/p>\n

Now, experts have revealed to the Daily Mail just how much the people behind these accounts could be raking in.<\/p>\n

‘AI influencers could earn well over $40,000 from a combination of subscriber revenue and brand endorsements for posting content during Coachella,’ said Lewis Davey, founder of AI influencer talent management agency, Pixel.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A quick search on Instagram uncovers dozens of AI influencers profiting off Coachella content.\u00a0<\/p>\n

@lilmiquela, who boasts a whopping 2.3 million followers, posted a carousel of photos to her page, including one of her posing in front of the Ferris wheel.<\/p>\n

‘I lived an entire life in one weekend tbh. @coachella I will never forget you,’ she captioned the post.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘First weekend of Coachellaaa recap,’ @ammarathegoat said to her 173,000 followers on Instagram<\/a>, alongside a photo appearing to show her with Justin and Hailey Bieber<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And @fit_aitana, who has 392,000 followers, posted a set of photos from the festival, writing: ‘@coachella you’ve been wild! Until next year.’<\/p>\n

With AI photo and video editing tools getting more advanced by the day, many of these images appear to have fooled unsuspecting viewers on Instagram.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘The amount of people that don’t realize this is an AI account is actually scaring me so bad,’ one user commented on one of @grannyspills’ photos.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘No way yall think this is real,’ one added on @ammarathegoat’s Instagram Reel.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    And one joked on @lilmiquela’s snaps: ‘Are you made of pixels? Because you’re unreal.’<\/p>\n

    Piggybacking off big events like Coachella is a ‘smart tactic’ for these AI influencers, according to Mr Davey.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

    Speaking to the Daily Mail, he said: ‘AI influencers are increasingly showing up in big cultural moments because it drives relevance amongst their audience and helps align them with the coolest moments in the calendar.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    ‘It’s a smart tactic, that’s gaining traction in front of brands who’d traditionally pay real influencers a fortune to attend these events and capture content.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    ‘Now brands can collab with AI influencers, access their followers, and “show\u2013up” at events without the need for a physical presence.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

    Mr Davey highlights Aitana Lopez, the world’s first million dollar AI influencer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    ‘[She]\u00a0“attended” Coachella, sharing her experience with fans \u2013 that can then access exclusive behind the scenes content on subscription platforms like Fanvue,’ he said.<\/p>\n

    With the people behind these accounts set to fetch well over\u00a0$40,000 (\u00a329,400) from such events, AI influencers are set to become staple features across social media.<\/p>\n

    The winners will earn themselves over $90,000 (\u00a366,000) in prizes, proving their growing lucrative commercial potential.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    ‘It’s a fast\u2013growing space that will revolutionise how brands market themselves in the future and the earnings potential for AI creators is huge,’ Mr Davey added.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
