As it relates to sponsorship transparency, I think platforms such as instagram, youtube, etc have broader issues with their influencers whether CGI'ed or not...
I did find it really interesting that a CGI character could be more appealing to brands as there is much more complete control over image, no past issues, etc.
Reminds me of Hatsune Miku, virtual pop singer in Japan. As CGI continues to improve, wouldn't be surprised if we start to see entire digital labels churning out multitudes of artists/bankds

a few years from now, we're going to have the top instagram accounts all being photorealistic computer generated posts with AI determining the content that real humans want to see.

CGI killed the video star.
Why asian, why freckles? Why those facial proportions?
This can't just be one artists preference. There has to be business decisions behind it all of it.
Optimizing breast size for success on Instagram, is a design meeting I would love to listen in on!
