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

Dara Ladjevardian, co-founder at Delphi, said that online creators, influencers and business professionals are using Delphi to create ‘clones’ of themselves and have taught their digital persona to interact just like the real person.
The company charges a monthly fee for digital clones, starting at $19 and up to $399, but customers can pay for more features like a clone phone number.
Influencers can also link up their digital creations to apps like Spotify and Instagram, but Delphi takes a 15 percent to 10 percent commission.
Ladjevardian explained that customers come to Delphi’s ‘Clone Studio’ to create a virtual version of themselves.
‘The clone will learn how they think about the world,’ Ladjevardian said.
‘We have a readiness score to show how ‘ready’ a clone is in representing that person.
‘They can also upload their voice, so the clone learns how they speak as well.’
People have to show Delphi photo ID while creating their ‘clone’ so people can’t create unauthorized clones to impersonate others.
Ladjevardian said that coaches and experts are using the service to reach more people.
‘Coaches or experts whose time is usually very expensive can now allow infinitely many people to learn from them in a personalized way, at a much lower cost (or for free),’ he said.
Ladjevardian believes that one day everybody will have a clone.

‘We will be releasing video calling end of May – so you can send your clone to a Zoom or Google meet to take meetings for you, answering questions and gathering information,’ the co-founder continued.
In Japan, Alt.AI creates video clones of people that are so realistic they even look impatient when you don’t type when chatting to them.

Alt.AI has cloned 100 employees with the clones absorbing data from emails, Slack and other communications – and able to communicate on the employees behalf.
The clones continue to work even when employees are on vacation – and are paid by the company.
Alt.AI boasts, ‘Ours is the world’s first and only salary system that pays additional salaries to the 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 photo-real 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 normally difficult for employees to ask questions about or communicate with’ with ordinary workers.
The start-up Coachvox.AI has customers who pay up to $47 a month to access a digital clone of themselves – with the clone offering 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 AI systems like ChatGPT.
‘If you ask ChatGPT to describe a happy relationship, it will give you an answer based on all of its training data. The answer will be generic and weak because it’s based on the average of the entire internet, said Cook.
‘If you ask a relationship coach to describe a happy relationship, they will tell you their strong opinions. These opinions are why their audience follows them.
‘When that relationship coach makes their digital clone, their audience can be coached based on those strong opinions, not generic internet information.
Coachvox.ai has already helped ‘hundreds’ of creators launch their digital clones – with some already earning thousands of dollars a month, and others seeing their clones engage with thousands of clients, the founder explained.
‘It’s clear that coaches and thought leaders cannot ignore AI. As their audience becomes used to personalized knowledge, on demand, around the clock, it makes sense that they position themselves to be that ever present expert voice, within their specific industry,’ Cook said.
Cook believes clone technology will become widespread.
She said, ‘As technology improves the digital clones will be more accurate and capable of performing complex tasks and holding very high quality conversations.
‘Societal norms plus technological advancements equal mainstream behavior.’
