Overview
The speaker documents their attempt to create a convincing AI influencer for Instagram, testing several tools to achieve realistic, consistent character images. They compare DALL·E, Design AI, and Open Art, ultimately recommending Open Art for ease of use and high realism.
The AI Influencer Gold Rush
- AI influencer creation can generate substantial income, but most people struggle with consistency in character images.
- Realistic, consistent AI personas are essential for building believable brands and attracting followers or brand deals.
- Current AI tools often fail to recreate the same "person" across multiple images, undermining authenticity.
Tool Testing Process
- The speaker set out to create a nine-post Instagram grid featuring the same AI-generated personality in different settings and outfits.
- Tested DALL·E (via ChatGPT) for ease of access and prompt simplicity.
- DALL·E produced high-quality images but generated different faces each time, lacking memory and consistency.
- Concluded that prompt tweaking could not overcome DALL·E’s intrinsic limitations for persona building.
Experience with Design AI
- Design AI promises consistency by allowing user training with reference images.
- The setup process requires multiple images and 40–50 minutes of training per character.
- Achieves better facial consistency but images still appear artificial or "simulated."
- Considered acceptable for design projects, but not realistic or fast enough for brand-building influencer content.
Success with Open Art
- Open Art stands out for a user-friendly interface and rapid results (about 5 minutes to train a model).
- Needs only a few clean photos and simple prompts to generate a consistent, credible character across varied scenes.
- Returned realistic images for diverse scenarios (e.g., cafe, beach, gym), maintaining the same identity and vibe.
- Features a Consistent Character tool under storytelling mode for streamlined workflow.
- Designed for non-experts and content creators, minimizing technical hurdles.
Recommendations and Takeaways
- Open Art is highly effective for creating believable, brandable AI personas quickly.
- Early adoption offers advantages before AI influencer accounts become commonplace.
- The speaker created a tutorial to help others replicate the process and encourages experimentation.
