By Public Technologies14:03 (UTC), 13 November 2026 Updated

HubSpot's analysis warns AI influencers can reduce production costs but risk eroding consumer trust, potentially offsetting savings.
Brand deals with AI social accounts fell about 30% in the first eight months of 2025 versus the same period in 2024.
A cited survey found 53% of consumers less likely to buy from brands known for using AI in social content.
Only 26.4% of consumers would actively engage with AI-influencer ads, according to another cited study.
Savings are most likely in high-volume content; campaigns dependent on personal credibility risk weaker conversion.
