DW: I'm lost...is this a Star Wars thing?
The age of digital doppelgängers has dawned, with platforms like Delphi leading the charge in cloning real-world people into actual AI avatars. For a fee ranging from $29 to $399, users can access their virtual selves, capable of mimicking speech and thought patterns. Among other reasons, this will help consultants and coaches reach wider audiences at a fraction of the cost.
Meanwhile, safeguards have been put in place; Delphi requires photo ID to prevent unauthorized clones. Meanwhile, Alt.AI in Japan showcases the next level, with clones so lifelike they exhibit impatience in chat. As technology evolves, expect these virtual clones to become fixtures in everyday life…ready or not.
