AI influencers complain: praising OpenAI is free, loving Google gets you called a shill
ChrisUniverse · x · 2026-09-06
AI influencer aiforsuccess vented about a double standard in the community: praising OpenAI or Anthropic all day draws no suspicion, but posting about a model you actually use daily (Google-related) gets you accused of being paid. He joked he'd own a mansion if he got a dollar per accusation. Other creators like ChrisUniverse replied they face the same with Perplexity, highlighting bias-sensitivity in AI community discourse.
