the AI influencer Gold Rush is making people tens of thousands every month but 96% of people are missing it by not being able to use AI correctly have you ever made a person with AI that looks incredible only to realize the next image makes it look like a totally different person like you have an aesthetic girl with sun-kissed skin and chill Paris energy but in the next image she looks like her distant relative from another timeline with different eyes nose and hair that's the problem most people can never solve and the reason this matters is because right now there's a tiny time window where people are building AI influencers that look completely real and they're using them to post daily build a following and even get brand deals that pay thousands a month all automated if you're seeing hyperreal characters just like these pop up on your feed and wondering how are they doing this it's because you are still stuck prompting and wasting hours for a single image just to get plastic Barbie results that scream AI only a few creators the ones ahead of the curve are quietly building these influencers that are consistent brandable and scarily real and I was tired of feeling like the dumb one feeling like everyone else has it figured out besides me so I decided to test the most popular tools and find out which of them really works i decided to make it into a challenge a real challenge where I see if I can build an actual AI influencer that looks real and answer the question could I actually build a believable AI influencer without losing my mind and to make it even harder for myself I will make an Instagram profile with nine consistent posts with the same looking person but in a new setting with new outfits and different poses and every image looking like it came from the same camera role i'm not a designer with years on Photoshop behind my back i'm just someone who wanted to make this work without wasting weeks on it and if I could find that one tool that would mean anyone can make an influencer looking more real than Kim Kardashian herself so in this video I will attempt to create an entire 9 grid Instagram feed for an AI influencer with just one tool so the first tool I used was what most people would try Dolly it felt like the obvious move it's built in right in chat GPT which most of us are already using on the daily basis no need for an account setup or other weird software and to start it all off I typed in a simple prompt nothing crazy this was the exact one I used a 21-year-old lifestyle girl sitting outside a French cafe wearing a relaxed white tea and baggie jeans golden hour light hitting her face soft background blur i just want a clean normal post you'd see on a lifestyle feed and this was the first image it gave me honestly I was hyped this result got me thinking that this challenge would end up being too easy to even make a video on it looked amazing soft lighting nice skin tone the kind of subtle background blur that makes it feel like a legit photo if I posted this on Instagram people would 100% think she was real but this feeling went away as fast as it came because when I hit generate again with the exact same prompt exact same settings but I just wanted her standing up instead of sitting this result comes up i got a totally different person different nose different mouth and different hairstyle so I changed the prompt and generated again same problem but this one looks even more different and I did it again and again but each time I got a new person by attemp five I've got what looks like five random girls from five different countries but the most annoying part was that the quality of the images was still great the lighting was on point and every texture looked real but the person herself never ends up looking the same there was nothing connecting them and no identity it was a consistency failure dolly doesn't remember anything between images there's no memory of who the person was in the last generation so even if I copy and paste the exact same prompt 10 times in a row I'll still get 10 different people it's like the tools intentionally gaslighting you and that just doesn't work if your whole goal is to build a consistent character because building a persona is all about making it feel real and in real life people don't switch faces every time they go outside so yeah I was frustrated not because the images were ugly they weren't they look good almost too good but because no matter what I did I couldn't get the tool to lock in on one person and I realized that this isn't a creativity problem it's a tech limitation it doesn't matter how clever your prompts are how many times you tweak the details or how precise you try to get if the tool can't remember who it just created you're screwed before you start and that's exactly what's happening here dolly is like a goldfish with zero memory and no continuity you could feed it the exact same description a 100 times and still get a 100 different faces there's no versioning no reference points no use the same girl button it's just random every time so yeah if you're trying to make a one-off image to show off or pose for fun cool it'll probably look great but if you're actually trying to build something like an influencer a brand a persona that can grow over time this tool is useless because you can't build connection without consistency and if the face is changing every time no one's going to believe in the character not even you so I scrapped Dolly and started looking for something else something that could actually give me what I want then after a couple days of bouncing between tools that all kind of missed the mark I found Design AI and this one got me excited from what I'd read it was all about consistency that was their whole thing you could upload references train a character lock in facial structure even guide poses it looked like the tool that actually understood what I was trying to do here so I jumped in and at first it was not bad the interface is a bit overwhelming but nothing like those AI dashboards that make you feel like you accidentally launched a game engine so I started the whole process and it quickly became too much you don't just describe a girl in a prompt or upload one image you have to go through a whole 2-hour process you don't just throw in a single image and hit generate to actually get a consistent character in design you've got to go through their entire training setup it's not overly complicated but it still takes time and effort first you need quite a few solid images of your character not just random screenshots but clear shots with good lighting and different angles that's how the model learns the structure once you type in her name and added your images you can start the training that part alone takes about 40 to 50 minutes so it's not easy especially if you're testing multiple looks or tweaking things on the fly and when it finally finished here are the pictures I got which came out decent but we are testing consistency here so I typed in something basic to check if it all holds up sydney in a rainy Tokyo alleyway she stands with one hand in her coat pocket the other holding a cup of matcha her expression is thoughtful she wears a minimalist gray coat slim jeans and ankle boots neon reflections shimmer in the wet pavement behind her and the face actually held same jawline and same eye distance the structure actually stayed consistent and it looked like the same person across different shots but there was something off if you look at it just a bit too much it's obvious that this was still AI the skin's too smooth the hair looks drawn with a pencil the background has a weird look like it was composited by a machine that's never stepped outside which is true but we don't want it to actually show it doesn't feel like a snapshot from someone's phone it feels like a simulation pretending to be a photo which if you're just trying to make a clean image is fine but if your goal is to build a brand that people not just scroll past but actually follow this is where it breaks so design is good for some things if you're a designer or doing creative projects where realism isn't the goal it's probably great but for this challenge where it's about creating a believable brandable Instagram ready AI persona that could hold up across a nine post grid it didn't get me there it's not fast enough and most importantly not real enough and after this attempt I was still stuck with images that technically worked but couldn't pass as a real human being on a real feed at this point the pressure was building i was starting to think maybe it wasn't possible maybe these accounts I kept seeing were just anomalies or maybe they were doing something I hadn't figured out yet but I wasn't done after tons of tools and a lot of disappointments and more hours burned than I want to admit this was it i had only one attempt in me and that's when I found Open Art right away it felt different the interface felt clean and easily understandable but I was still skeptical because that good first impression had already failed me before but Open Art didn't ask for much it didn't want any 50-minute training cues and it didn't need me to spend hours figuring out how it worked just drag in your images name your character and hit go so I did and five minutes later not hours just 5 minutes I had a working model it didn't give me any overfitting issues i had my character looking real grounded and consistent i didn't prompt a whole book to get this result it was quite simple something like Sydney sitting outside a trendy cafe in downtown LA she wears loose high-rise jeans a tucked-in tank top and white sneakers la vibe with murals and light traffic in the background the character looked amazing it felt like a real image you could see being posted by Kylie Jenner the next image I made was a beach scene with sunflare and the hair moving in the breeze in my opinion this was even better and the same here I didn't need to over complicate it with the instructions it all just worked so smoothly then for the third one I decided to go with the gym photo my prompt here was in a fitness studio ponytail fitted activewear lifting dumbbells determined expression overhead fluorescent lights and just look at how good it came out then downtown cafe and more sitting standing or moving it didn't matter her core identity stayed intact through every single shot same energy and same vibe it didn't just work it worked effortlessly and for the first time in this whole challenge I felt that switch from testing to building this wasn't some Frankenstein photo mashup or a lucky roll of the dice it was a real looking person across nine different scenes a full feed something I'd actually feel confident posting and here's the wild part there's no secret to it the reason Open works isn't just because it's good tech though it is it's because the experience is made for creators for people like you and me who aren't trying to become AI engineers who just want to make content that works you don't need fine-tuning or get lucky with the prompt you just need one to three clean photos and 10 minutes of breathing room that's it there's a tool inside Open Art called Consistent Character under storytelling mode and if you follow the built-in steps literally upload and click it handles the rest your model doesn't break when you type beach sunset the endless prompting that used to take hours now takes only 10 minutes what once felt impossible to do by yourself in your living room now feels automatic and honestly that's what makes it special because yeah design had power but it also didn't feel like it was made for creators open Art just made it simple to answer the question from the beginning of the video could I actually build a believable AI influencer without losing my mind yes and Open Art is the tool it works and not just for me the whole format is exploding people are using it to launch niche pages grow theme accounts test content ideas build visual brands and even mock up entire product lines before spending a dollar on inventory so if you're serious about this now's the time to move the results are real and you're still early because once this becomes mainstream that wow factor the one that makes people stop scrolling and say "Wait she's AI," won't hit the same anymore right now you still have the chance to get ahead of it use it before everyone's in on the secret the link to try Open Art is in the description i'm not saying you need to build a full influencer empire overnight just try it pick a character upload some pics build a quick nine post grid and see how people react if you want to try this yourself I made something just for you a full step-by-step tutorial is linked below inside I'll walk you through the exact steps I used to train your character how to write simple prompts that actually work and how to build a nine-post grid that feels like a real feed this video showed you what's possible the tutorial shows you how to do it yourself whether you're trying to build a niche brand test content ideas or just want to see how deep this rabbit hole goes this is the next video to watch i'll see you there
