People around the world are creating digital ‘clones’ to work for them in the real world, allowing them to enjoy life and still earn a million-dollar salary.
Music producer !Illmind recently released “all his wisdom” with an AI-powered robot called “BlapGPT” that provides advice to aspiring producers, and alternative medicine advocate Deepak Chopra created a realistic AI version of himself to Zoom calls.
Demand for clones has paved the way for startups, with some saying these digital creations feature “artificial consciousness.”
DailyMail.com spoke to the founder of Delphi, who said that it uses podcasts, videos, PDFs and other similar content to generate an accurate clone capable of imitating the user’s thoughts and speech, and that the process can take as little as an hour.

Dara Ladjevardian, co-founder of Delphi, said online creators, influencers and business professionals are using Delphi to create “clones” of themselves and have taught their digital persona to interact like the real person.
The company charges a monthly fee for digital clones, ranging from $19 to $399, but customers can pay for more features, such as a cloned phone number.
Influencers can also link their digital creations to apps like Spotify and Instagram, but Delphi takes a 15 to 10 percent commission.
Ladjevardian explained that customers turn to Delphi’s ‘Clone Studio’ to create a virtual version of themselves.
“The clone will learn how you think about the world,” Ladjevardian said.
‘We have a readiness score to show how ‘ready’ a clone is to represent that person.
“They can also raise their voice, so the clone also learns how they speak.”
People must show a Delphi photo ID while creating their ‘clone’ so that they cannot create unauthorized clones to impersonate others.
Ladjevardian said trainers and experts are using the service to reach more people.
“Trainers or experts whose time is often very expensive can now allow countless people to learn from them in a personalized way, at a much lower cost (or for free),” he said.
Ladjevardian believes that one day everyone will have a clone.
Music producer !Illmind recently released “all his wisdom” with an AI-powered bot called “BlapGPT” that provides advice to aspiring producers.
“We’ll be launching video calling at the end of May, so you can send your clone to a Zoom or Google meeting to conduct meetings for you, answer questions, and gather information,” the co-founder continued.
In Japan, Alt.AI creates video clones of people that are so realistic that they even seem impatient when you don’t type while chatting with them.

Alt.AI has cloned 100 employees and the clones absorb data from emails, Slack and other communications, and can communicate on behalf of employees.
The clones continue working even when employees are on vacation and receive pay from the company.
Alt.AI boasts: “Ours is the world’s first and only salary system that pays additional salaries to employees themselves based on the productivity of their AI clones.”
The company created a clone of Kou Takimoto, president of Dentsu Digital last year, claiming that the photorealistic video clone has “artificial consciousness.”
Alt.AI has boasted that the cloned boss can share his “personality, thoughts, management philosophy, and other topics that are typically difficult for employees to ask questions or communicate about” with regular workers.
Startup Coachvox.AI has customers paying up to $47 a month to access a digital clone of themselves, and the clone offers life coaching and business coaching based on the real person’s thoughts.

Jodie Cook, founder of Coachvox.AI, told DailyMail.com that clones trained on a person’s YouTube and their own thoughts are far superior to artificial intelligence systems like ChatGPT.
‘If you ask ChatGPT to describe a happy relationship, it will give you an answer based on all its training data. The answer will be generic and weak because it is based on the average of the entire Internet, Cook said.
‘If you ask a relationship coach to describe a happy relationship, they will give you their strong opinions. These opinions are the reason why their audience follows them.
‘When that relationship coach makes his digital clone, his audience can be trained based on those solid opinions, not generic information from the Internet.
Coachvox.ai has already helped “hundreds” of creators launch their digital clones; Some already earn thousands of dollars a month and others see their clones interact with thousands of customers, the founder explained.
‘It is clear that coaches and thought leaders cannot ignore AI. As their audience becomes accustomed to personalized, on-demand, 24/7 knowledge, it makes sense for them to position themselves to be that ever-present expert voice within their specific industry,” Cook said.
Cook believes cloning technology will become widespread.
He said: “As technology improves, digital clones will become more accurate and capable of performing complex tasks and maintaining very high-quality conversations.”
“Social norms plus technological advances equal widespread behavior.”
