I want to create a lot of video content - but it takes me ages to get in front of the camera, and my mind went to how I can make this easier on myself. AI Twins. I had a look into it, but then wondered what it meant to give that data to an AI. What were the upsides and downsides? So I asked ChatGPT... Here is what I got and I will share it with you. 🔒 1. Your Face Is Biometric Data — Treat It as Such When you upload photos to train an AI twin, you’re not just sending pictures; you’re handing over: - your facial structure - identifiable embeddings - likeness data that can be reused or leaked in the future Always check: - Who owns the trained model - Whether it can be fully deleted - Where the servers are located - Whether your likeness is reused to train other models If you can’t get clear answers, that’s a red flag. 🎭 2. Authenticity Matters More Than Aesthetic AI-twin versions of yourself often look: - slightly younger - overly polished - smoothed - stylised - not quite like the real you Followers may not consciously notice, but they feel the disconnect. If your brand relies on honesty, vulnerability, or trust (coaching, teaching, activism, personal development, etc.) this can subtly undermine your message. 🕰️ 3. AI Twins Don’t Age With You Your real face changes over time.Your AI face does not — or it drifts in weird directions as models update. This creates: - inconsistency across content - brand mismatch - thumbnails that feel “off” after a few months - a growing gap between your real appearance and the AI-generated one For long-term creators, that’s a problem. 📚 4. Context Matters — Some Topics Don’t Suit an AI Clone AI-twin imagery works fine for: - fitness influencers - real estate gurus - entertainment creators - highly polished, aesthetic-first brands But it can feel inappropriate for creators dealing with: - real human stories - grief, mental health, or personal experiences - social issues - climate, politics, or activism - any topic where credibility and humanity matter more than visuals
