Welcome to the AI Influencer Revolution, where virtual influencers created by artificial intelligence are changing what it means to be famous online.
Digital creator Jonny Shapland recently copied a $10K-per-month AI influencer using Picasso AI and ChatGPT. He built a fully digital character with a name, personality, and content strategy — and within just a few hours, he made his first $9.99 from fan subscriptions on Fan View.

What Is an AI Influencer?
An AI influencer is a completely virtual persona built using artificial intelligence. These faceless influencers can post photos, share opinions, and even interact with fans just like real people.
Tools like Picasso AI help generate realistic images of your AI persona, while ChatGPT allows you to craft a consistent tone, backstory, and brand voice. Together, they create a lifelike digital influencer who can represent your ideas online 24/7 — without burnout or anxiety.
Some of these virtual influencers, like Lil Miquela and Tina Lopez, already partner with top brands like BMW and Calvin Klein — and earn real money doing it.
Why It’s Perfect for Introverts
Not everyone is comfortable being in the spotlight — and that’s totally fine. With AI, you can stay private while still building a strong, profitable presence.
Here’s why this trend is perfect for introverts:
You can build your dream persona without ever showing your face.
AI tools generate endless, high-quality content for you.
Monetization options are wide open — from affiliate marketing and sponsorships to digital products and fan subscriptions
Jonny used the Fan View platform to prove it works. His AI model started earning instantly — even before gaining followers.
