"Influencers have it tough. Especially when they don't exist." A hyper-perfect influencer starts to come apart when the internet decides he isn't real, and has to face the possibility that it's right. Dave Clark made it as the prologue to a planned feature mixing AI and live action, and told Business Insider a version without AI would never have been made. An Honoree at [Runway's 2026 AI Festival](https://aifilmhistory.org/entry/aiff-2026).
