This seems like a short term problem.
If marketing agencies move to AI influencers, the consumer will slowly catch on and move away from it.

The new Southpark on influencers is good
People who won the genetic lottery are angry that they can't milk their attractive appearence for money anymore.
Well, that's too bad.
I think technically whoever created that AI persona is now profiting from the work they put into creating and maintaining that. It's different than what a human influencer does, but the money they are generating still goes into someone's pocket, not dissolving into thin air. This isn't AI stealing people's jobs, it's someone stealing someone else's market share. It's like a guy with a saw complaining that a guy with a chainsaw is stealing their business.
