It’s 4:34am and I’m kept up awake with thoughts of how someone out there new to my brand, is possibly thinking this is all AI. Hence the name AiClay. 😳😳 A decade ago (when I coined my brand name), artificial intelligence was nowhere as big as now.
I’m one of the resistant ones to AI, though I know it’s foolish to be fearful of this beast that will and has infiltrated our lives. But in terms of authenticity, I’m just so jaded of seeing content made with AI attempting to pass off as real people or voices. Like yesterday I watched a whole reel about Jay Chou talking about his anger towards an award show which ended up birthing a song (i could have remembered wrongly) etc etc. And after all those minutes of consuming that content, it was only at the comment section that I realised that entire voice was AI-generated using Jay’s voice. 😵💫 It’s been one too many times having that happened, and I just feel so.. for the lack of a better word, cheated?
