Will Chatbots Replace Influencers?
Influencer creates AI clone, re-imagine any photo by dragging your mouse, chat with data offline, GPT-4 can edit videos, make websites...
AI tools are enabling creative new ways to connect, learn and experience the world.
From retouching photos with AI to creating AI generated virtual influencers, here are the top 5 AI innovations of this week:
1. Photo Editing Just Got a Lot More Intuitive
DragGAN is a new AI tool that lets you edit images by simply dragging elements around with your mouse.
DragGAN uses a generative adversarial network (GAN) to manipulate images in a realistic, high-quality way and works across many categories like animals, cars, humans, and landscapes.

2. Chat With Your Data (Offline & Free)
Need to verify company data from last year? Want to chat with your ancestors’ journals? Or the diary version of you in the past? Now you can.
The privateGPT project allows you to ask questions to your documents without an internet connection, using the power of LLMs.
You add your files, emails, PDFs or data to the source_documents folder and privateGPT scans it all allowing you to chat with your files.
For now, privateGPT requires some technical setup as it’s still in development. But the concept shows the potential for AI to empower individuals with smart tools built for their unique needs while respecting privacy.

3. GPT-4 + Code Interpreter Is Insanely Powerful
Code Interpreter is a ChatGPT plugin that provides a sandboxed environment to run Python code, right from the chat. Python is a very powerful programming language, and it comes with a lot of libraries to do data analysis, edit videos and images, etc.
In essence, this allows GPT-4 to do a lot of things like (I am attaching demos shared by Twitter users):
Complex data analysis with beautiful charts - Example
Basic video editing (change speed, trim, zoom etc.) - Example
Create a website and provide complete code as a .zip - Example
4. Uncensored AI Roleplays
The Pygmalion 13B AI is a remarkable open-source LLM model that is specially trained for chat and roleplay interactions, often surpassing chatGPT & GPT-4 in “spicy” roleplay situations! The new model has just been launched.

5. Chatbots of Your Fav Influencers?
Caryn Marjorie, a social media influencer with nearly 2 million followers on Snapchat, launched CarynAI, an AI chatbot that replicates her voice, mannerisms and personality using GPT-4 API.
Fans can chat with CarynAI for $1 a minute in an “immersive AI experience” that feels almost like speaking to Marjorie herself. The product made more than $100,000 the first week and has a waiting list of thousands.
It is the first major release from Forever Voices, a company that aims to provide users with a girlfriend-like experience that fans can emotionally bond with.
Will such chatbot clones spread joy or sap our will to meaningfully connect? Only time will tell.
That brings us to the end of this issue of “AI Simplified”. I hope you liked it.
