Leia o texto para responder a questão seguinte.

You probably know what an “influencer” is — people with large, highly engaged social media followings who have the power to sway beliefs and purchasing decisions. But you might not have yet heard of virtual influencers.

 

They’re like human influencers … but they’re not human. They’re characters brought to life by computer-generated imagery (CGI) and artificial intelligence (AI), designed to target demographic groups from a first-person perspective.

 

Virtual influencers are becoming more popular and prevalent every day. A full-blown industry has sprung up around them — an industry with agencies and companies dedicated to creating and managing them, with some of the top personas earning millions annually.

 

As we enter the era of AI proliferation, it seems virtual influencers are here to stay. There are at least 200 digital personalities out there today, and platforms like Facebook, Instagram and TikTok are rolling out new tools that will enable everyday users to craft their own virtual personas.

 

Given the absence of laws for non-humans, the rise of virtual influencers on social media raises a whole host of urgent ethical questions about authenticity online.

 

(Ateqah Khaki et al. www.theconversation.com, 20.02.2025. Adaptado.)

 

In the excerpt from the first paragraph “But you might not have yet heard of virtual influencers”, the underlined word expresses the idea of:

  1. now and then.
  2. nowadays.
  3. hardly ever.
  4. recently.
  5. up to now.

Comentário do professor

Na frase “might not have yet heard”, o advérbio yet indica que a ação (hear about) não ocorreu até o momento presente. Ou seja, comunica a ideia de até agora.

Em construções com tempo perfeito e negação, como aqui, yet marca um limite temporal: algo não aconteceu até este instante, embora possa acontecer depois.

Assim, a equivalência com up to now é direta: “you might not have yet heard” = “you might not have heard up to now”, isto é, talvez você não tenha ouvido falar disso até o presente momento.
