AI video startup Higgsfield boasted that "every viral AI influencer was made on Higgsfield," letting users create hyperrealistic virtual personas from their own face or scratch, ride viral trends with Genjutsu, try 5 free generations, and access it via a ChatGPT extension.
Retweeter @broderick mocked the pivot from "the future of Hollywood filmmaking" to helping users build hyperrealistic characters that could shill crypto scams on Instagram, highlighting the misuse risk of AI influencer tooling.
