I had an idea but Gemini and Claude said no, wanted a human perspective.

So I had an idea of doing affiliate marketing for courses with an AI influencer.

I wanted to do affiliate marketing with existing courses because the people who made them are very creditable and respected in their professions.

However I have no desire to make content myself, show my face on camera or record voice overs, and because I like playing around with AI tools, I’ve basically formulated a way to create high quality AI influencer content a very low cost (relatively)

So I thought have the AI influencer be the spokeswoman for the courses, leverage the creditability of the course instructors and earn my commission.

Since I don’t have any friends who have a hustler/entrepreneur mindset, I don’t have anyone to bounce this idea on, so learned towards Claude and Gemini, both of agreed that people would be skeptical to trust an AI influencer.

But I argue that I personally watch faceless YouTube channels online all the time, the only difference is that the voice isn’t “real” , so there shouldn’t be a difference just because the medium is artificial. But they said because the courses are like $500, that it’s a big ask from a “fake” person.

What do you guys think?
