Creating digital doubles with Epic's MetaHuman toolkit was incredible. At dandelion + burdock, we just wrapped a project blending MetaHuman, Unreal Engine, and AI to bring influencers face-to-face with their digital selves. Who knew facial mocap could be this accessible (and fun)? Curious about the process? Check out my thoughts: #UnrealEngine #MetaHuman #DigitalAvatars

481 - Deepfakes of Chinese influencers are livestreaming 24/7: #ai, #technology With just a few minutes of sample video and $1,000, brands never have to stop selling their products. These streamers are not real: they are AI-generated clones of the real streamers. As technologies that create realistic avatars, voices, and movements get more sophisticated and affordable, the popularity of these deepfakes has exploded across China’s e-commerce streaming platforms. And as the tech has improved, the service has gotten cheaper too. Generating a basic AI clone now costs a customer about 8,000 RMB ($1,100). If the client wants to create a more complicated and capable streamer, the price can go up to several thousands of dollars. Other than the generation, that fee also covers a year of maintenance. Once the avatar is generated, its mouth and body move in time with the scripted audio. While the scripts were once pre-written by humans, companies are now using large language models to generate them too. Now, all the human workers have to do is input basic information such as the name and price of the product being sold, proofread the generated script, and watch the digital influencer go live. A more advanced version of the technology can spot live comments and find matching answers in its database to answer in real time, so it looks as if the AI streamer is actively communicating with the audience. It can even adjust its marketing strategy based on the number of viewers For Silicon Intelligence, its next step is to add “emotional intelligence” to the AI streamers, Sima says: “If there are abusive comments, it will be sad; if the products are selling well, it will be happy.” The company is also working on making AI streamers interact and learn from each other. The company has had a fascinating and sort of terrifying goal since its beginning: it wants to create “100,000,000 silicon-based laborers” by 2025. For now, Sima says, the company has generated 400,000 virtual streamers. There’s still a long way to go. https://lnkd.in/d5M5XgkC

Brands are eager to tap into these new virtual personalities, knowing they can control the narrative and persona completely. Of course, this also raises some interesting ethical questions... How transparent should the AI nature of these influencers be? I think I got an answer to this one, wait .. For instance, Instagram automatically labels content that is AI generated with a visible watermark that states " Imagined with AI" for content that is detected to have industry-standard signals utilizing any third party apps or even downloaded directly to the platform.. Cool, how about the dozen other platforms? And what does it mean for the future of marketing and social media?

It's a fascinating glimpse into the future of digital media and entrepreneurship. What are your thoughts on this emerging space? I'd love to hear your take!

Let me introduce you to Naina, Aitana Lopez, and Kyra. Just visit their Instagram profiles, and you will see a huge following, even though most of you may not have the same. But what is the catch? Well, they are not humans; they are 100% AI-generated models, and now they are  making more than $10,000 per month as AI influencers. One of the biggest use cases of AI influencers is how cost-effective they can be for marketing purposes. Instead of paying real models to shoot an ad, brands can use these AI-generated models to advertise their products. Companies like Titan, RealMe, and Boat are already following this trend. I recently came across this cool video where Boat collaborated with the AI influencer Kyra to promote their product. Companies like Samsung and Lenovo have also collaborated with AI influencers to promote their products and services. Insane, right? And now I know most of you may want to create such AI influencers from scratch. So here is the post for you 👇 https://lnkd.in/dJYi4NC9
