Definition from Mixed:
Das Kollektiv definiert virtuelle Wesen als künstliche Charaktere, zu denen man eine wechselseitige emotionale Beziehung entwickeln kann. Darunter fallen digitale Menschen in Form photorealistischer, interaktiver Kopien echter Personen, virtuelle Influencer wie Lil Miquela und Shudu, personifizierte KI-Assistenten wie Magic Leaps Mica und lebensecht wirkende VR- und AR-Charaktere wie Artie.

Example sentence(s):
  • Wer braucht noch echte Influencer, wenn es virtuelle Wesen gibt? Digitale Influencer bereiten User auf die arglose Interaktion mit künstlichen Wesen vor. Als Teil des Alltags verlieren sie ihre Fremdheit. Manche finden diese Existenzen schon spannender als das eigene Leben. - FAZ  
  • Auf der Fotoplattform Instagram sorgen derzeit computergenerierte Models für Wirbel. Vorbei die Pixeloptik der 90er-Jahre: Heute sind die virtuellen Wesen so perfekt gemacht, dass sie von echten Menschen nicht zu unterscheiden sind. Auch das ist irgendwie gruselig. - P.M.  
  • Der Schöne und die Influencerin - von KI, virtuellen Models, Schönheitswahn und Mode - Heise online
