With monthly earnings approaching 3 lakh rupees, Aitana has become a groundbreaking virtual influencer, catching the attention of not only brands but also a vast audience of real-life individuals.

Aitana's creator, Ruben Cruz, shared with Euronews the backstory behind her creation. The Clueless, facing challenges with project cancellations, identified influencers and models as potential stumbling blocks. In response, they decided to take matters into their own hands, birthing Aitana as a unique solution to serve as their very own influencer and model.

Aitana’s Virtual Stardom

Earning over ₹91,000 per advertisement and amassing a monthly average of ₹2.73 lakh, Aitana's financial success has propelled her into the upper echelons of the virtual influencer sphere. The Clueless has even expanded its virtual influencer portfolio with the introduction of 'Maia,' further solidifying the impact of AI in shaping the digital marketing landscape.

Controversy and Criticism

Despite her success, Aitana has faced criticism for the perceived 'highly sexualized' nature of her images. In response, The Clueless defends their creative choices, arguing that they are merely mirroring the existing aesthetic set by real influencers and brands. This sparks a broader conversation about the influence of AI in perpetuating over-sexualized standards within the realm of virtual influencers.
