TheTuringPost shares a novelty of becoming an AI influencer: a footwear brand reached out inviting him to a creator campaign with a paid sponsorship fee plus gifted pairs to wear and review.
He jokes that Grok rated the "premium, ultra-comfortable" pair (whose first four suggested options were all men's styles). The post is a side signal that brands are actively targeting AI-niche creators for paid placements.
