It's no secret that AI-created models are a hit online these days. Fitness model Aitana Lopez has over 300 followers on Instagram and she's not even a real person, Emilly Pelegrini, another digital influencer, has been called the sexiest model alive, and the “perfect girlfriend ” Lexi Love makes over $000 a month playing the role of a romantic interest for single people.

Now another virtual influencer is making headlines due to her popularity as a travel model. Lily Rain's profile on the social platform Fanvue, accessible by subscription, shows the attractive young woman in various attention-grabbing locations around the world, but the fact that these photos are entirely the work of artificial intelligence does not seem disturbing his legions of fans.

“Lily is the epitome of a designer filling a gap in the travel influencer space,” Lily's creator told the Daily Star. “She can create idyllic and picturesque photos without the long travel times and extra travel costs, and take advantage of the different seasons to attract her audience. Using seasons and fashionable travel to tailor content and monetize it is big business. Lily can appear like a Kardashian enjoying her annual ski trip to the best mountain resorts money can buy.”

Many human travel models are even more popular than digital competitors like Lily Rain, but they actually have to work a lot for their fan base. They must invest considerable resources in travel expenses, appropriate makeup and wardrobe for each season and location, they must make travel plans and stick to a tight schedule. AI models like Lily can appear in stunning photos in exotic locations with just a few clicks from their creators.

According to Fanvue, Lily Rain generates around $20 in revenue per month, and is expected to become much more profitable as AI becomes more widespread. And she’s not the only one driving the AI ​​push. Will Monange, CEO and founder of Fanvue, says AI creators contributed 000% of Fanvue's revenue, an increase of 15% from the previous month, and that contribution is expected to increase by significantly in the future.

Apparently, AI-enabled digital influencers have become so popular that some aspiring human models are complaining about having to compete with these perfect-looking avatars.
