Has Digital Cloning and A.I.'s Era Arrived?

Has the era of digital online AI cloning arrived? Well, the answer, according to the New York Times, is yes. Major front page story in yesterday's Tuesday, May 14, 2024, New York Times headline AI Her Era Has Arrived. And by her they are referencing specifically the 2013 movie starring Scarlett Johansson and Joaquin Phoenix, all about a lifelike artificial intelligence bot. A clone. In this case, it wasn't a clone. It was just entirely an AI bot that Joaquin Phoenix, a lonely man, befriended, fell in love with, and it became his primary relationship. Now. It was, you know, weird. It was an interesting movie. I certainly remember it at the time, but it's become reality now. The story in the New York Times talks about Sam Altman, OpenAI's chief executive, who has praised the movie. They found that a little odd considering all the negativity about AI that ends up at the end of the movie. It was not really a happy ending, but there the New York Times is by definition the mainstream media. And I don't mean that in any negative, condescending way. A lot of people have very negative views about the mainstream media. We'll leave that debate for another time. But this is a huge story by their really one of their senior technology writers, Kevin Rose Rus, forgive me if I'm mispronouncing that I do like his writings and read his books as well, but he's following these trends in artificial intelligence, and what used to take sometimes 10 years to make improvements on five years a year now seems to be happening in one week. Things are happening quickly. I want to beware, Beware of something. Now I like to consider myself a savvy news consumer, and when people were hyping and hyping and hyping Bitcoin, I was always extremely skeptical. And I'm pretty, in retrospect, happy about my skepticism. When people were hyping the Metaverse just relentlessly only a few years ago, I was always asking myself, do I really want to spend more time looking at a screen or with a goggle on my head? Do I want my children, my child only have one child. Do I want children in general, and my child in particular spending more time sitting on a couch looking at a screen, isolated? The answer was no. So when people start hyping anything, I get very suspicious. But the more I have immersed myself in reading, everything I get my hands on when it comes to artificial intelligence and cloning, specifically as it relates to helping communication, which is my form of expertise and my niche, I am just dumbfounded by the profound ramifications of this Technology. I kind of feel, and I don't mean to be insensitive by this, I kind of feel like I just happen to be on a resort in Thailand and I'm in the penthouse of a resort and I just happen to have super powered binoculars and I'm looking out and I see a giant, giant, giant tidal wave coming. No one else notices. Everyone's on the beach, frolicking around. It's a sunny day. Everything else kind of looks the same as yesterday. And yet I can see this tidal wave coming. And I'm running around frantically trying to get out of there, trying to prepare, trying to let people know. That's kind of how I feel right now as it relates to clone AI technology, AI clones of individuals and of organizations and increasing its ability to communicate. So the New York Times is following up on this. They are talking specifically about the dramatic improvements. I would urge you to check out the article, the article I've hyperlinked in my newsletter today. If you don't subscribe to the newsletter, go ahead and go to mediatrainingworldwide.com or I believe the link. There's a link in the about section on my YouTube page. You can find it there. And Ben, if you don't mind posting the link to the New York Times article, it is in the newsletter, you can go ahead and post it in the comments. My colleague Ben in the green room in the production room with us today. So we'll post that article for you. So the article talks about how the new advances in artificial intelligence voice assistants in the past have been limited in the nuances of the conversation, the tone, the emotional impact, and that synthetic voices like Siri and Alexa tend to be flat and impersonal. But that's all changing. It is all changing. And this particular columnist, Kevin Rose, talks about his own experiences with AI friends and what's happening there. There is something new. And forgive me if you are a technologist, you're going to hear me use phrases and think, well, this guy is not a technologist. You're right, I'm a communicator. And I try to learn just as much as I need to know about technology to help me communicate more effectively and to help other people communicate more effectively, whether you are a CEO, a founder, a thought leader, a trainer, an expert, an author, a consultant. That's who I try to help. And that's what this channel is all about. We're not primarily a technology channel, but circumstances change and we are living in an era where the technology for communication is just wildly Changing. In my view, it's as different as the the days before there was any television or radio, and the days after television, radio. The difference, of course, being it took decades before TV and radio really took off, before the adoption rate just skyrocketed with artificial intelligence. ChatGPT boom. 100 million users in almost no time. It's the fastest using technology. Now, ChatGPT is not the same thing as everybody having a digital clone, I realize that. But it is profoundly linked and related and tied together. So now OpenAI has come up with GPT4. It's either O or 0. It looks like O, and it's called Native Multimodal Support. This involves the ability to take in audio prompts and analyze them directly without converting them to text first. According to the New York Times, this has made its conversations faster and more fluid, to the point that if the Chat GPT demos were accurate, most users will barely notice any lag at all. Now, those of you who've been here with me, especially in the last week or so, know I've been testing TJ Walker AI. My own chat, my own clone, my own digital clone, and there has been a lag. Sometimes it's as much as 10 seconds. So that does kind of make things clunkier. There's no doubt about. Makes it less like a completely fluid conversation, makes it harder for me to get my clone interviewed on talk shows and podcasts. But it is improving, and I've been assured by the technology platform I use, which happens to be Delphi AI, that things are really in the works to improve that and to make it much faster. And that that's going to happen not in 10 years or five years or a year, but really in the next month or so. So a lot of things are happening very, very quickly now, according to the Times. It makes a different, different experience. I want to play with you a partial clip that explains this in more detail. So let me. Let me make sure I share the audio all the way. And my colleague Ben under my name has just posted the link to this New York New York Times column. So let me go ahead and share this clip that goes into some of these details at greater length. So I'm sharing my audio, I'm going to keep it on a smaller screen because I don't want anyone accusing me of stealing copyright. So with me on the screen, it, it makes it a more arguable case that I'm not stealing the. The intellectual property. Let's take a look. So this is from OpenAI. I'm going to Fast forward a little so we can get to some of.

The meat, including our free users. We'll be showing some live demos today to show the full extent of the capabilities of our new model, and we'll be rolling them out iteratively over the next few weeks. All right, so let's get started. A very important part of our mission is to.

Now I'm assured this is not an AI, but I can't help but notice that when someone says we'll be rolling these out iteratively, it sounds like an AI wrote it. So it does make me wonder if they used AI to write the script, because I've never actually heard someone use that word in a sentence that that way. But this certainly appears to be a real human being explaining this. Here's part of the significance that I want to highlight here. It's the sheer fact that this company, which no one had ever heard of until five minutes ago, is able to talk about its products. It gets front page news coverage in the New York Times, which is arguably the most influential news outlet in the United States and certainly one of the most in the world. And the New York Times puts the full embed of its video here because it knows so many people are fascinated by this technology. That's, that's in part the significance of why I'm playing to be able to.

Make our advanced AI tools available to everyone for free.

Making these AI tools available to everyone for free. Again, I'm not saying ChatGPT is the best thing in the world. I'm not an investor in them or OpenAI. I'm not saying that they're not doing some things recklessly that could cause a lot of problems. There are numerous ethical dilemmas and issues facing this technology or any technology. But what she just said there I do think is highly successful is highly important. Making these tools accessible to everyone in the world for free. And these are tools that not too long ago, major corporations, governments were either didn't have access to at any price or were spending millions of dollars on the city of New York. New York city government spent $600,000 on artificial intelligence to clone the voice of the mayor to make information about the city more accessible to citizens. Last year, I'm not saying they shouldn't have, but what they're spending a fortune on a year ago is today can be done for really a few hundred dollars on at least some platforms I'm aware of. And it certainly seems like According to what OpenAI is announcing it, it is going to be available for free either right away or very soon. Let's listen a little more to this presentation.

We think it's very, very important that people have an intuitive feel for what the technology can do. And so we really want to pair it with this broader understanding. And we're always finding ways to reduce that friction. And recently we made ChatGPT available without the signup flow. And today we're also bringing the desktop app to ChatGPT because we want you to be able to use it wherever you are. As you can see, it's easy, it's simple, and it integrates very, very easily in your workflow.

I'm going to fast forward to a few other parts that I think are of significance. But again, it wasn't that long ago when if a startup company said to the New York Times, oh, we want you just to put our own promotional video on the front page of the New York Times, the New York Times would have said, sure, we're happy to. Please send us a check for $500,000 for advertising. But this is considered so groundbreaking, so newsworthy, so fascinating to the readers and the viewers of the New York Times that the New York Times just puts it up there. And that does say something. Let's listen more.

With 100 million people, more than 100 million, in fact, they use ChatGPT to create, work, learn.

And so this hundred million people using ChatGPT has been talked about a lot. But, you know, we're all used to big numbers all the time. And Facebook has 2 billion, 3 billion users now. It doesn't sound like that much. Well, everyone forgets, you know, it took years and years and years before Facebook got to 100 million. It took decades for TV and radio to get that kind of an audience. And ChatGPT did it very quickly in a matter of months. So this is profoundly transformational and how quickly the world has embraced artificial intelligence. And I use it in my business for things like titling these videos and helping with newsletters. It saves time. But that's not really what's transformational. I think what's transformational is how it is going to completely change the way people communicate around the world. Because let's put this in perspective. I've been harping on this, seems like for years, but it's only been a couple of weeks. To me, the real significance of artificial intelligence as it relates to the average subject matter expert, consultant, trainer, small business owner, or for that matter, startup founder or even CEO of a big company, is that all of us have to spend most of our time communicating on a daily basis, whether it's speaking or writing. Really, it's a combination of both. What do we do? Chances are, what do you do? You have to talk all day long.

To clients, to prospects, to the media.

Perhaps to investors, to stakeholders, to employees, to vendors, to subcontractors. We're spending all of our time communicating. Very few of us are literally out digging ditches and doing some form of hard manual labor. We're communicating. And so much of what we communicate is in fact messages that we have to repeat. They're repeatable messages and we do in fact have to repeat them and do repeat them on a regular basis. And it's made me and I'm sure you think if only I could clone myself. Well, guess what? You actually can clone yourself now. And not your entire body and your organs and your heart and all of that, but your ideas, your thought process, your intellectual capital can now be cloned. And if you're new to the show, then you haven't seen this before. But I am going to show you my own clone in a few minutes. We'll talk about this. MAD have says hello. Mad of good to see you today. Elizabeth has stopped by and says I'm using your one page advice in my live event this week. Elizabeth, I don't even remember what is my one page advice. That does bring up an interesting point. Quite a quite often I'll ask my own digital clone about some aspect of public speaking or presentation skills or communication skills and it'll give me this answer. I think, wow, that's fantastic. I didn't know that. And then I realized, well, I had to have known that because it's only pulling from things I've said and written. And then I'll think back and I'll realize, oh yeah, I think I did do a video on that or a blog post on that 14 years ago. The clone has a perfect memory. I have a fallible memory on all human beings have a fallible memory. Elizabeth, what are you referencing on the one page advice? I see you smiling. So thanks for that post that I want to share a little more from this latest announcement from from OpenAI. OpenAI is obviously getting a lot of attention. They're the ones who brought brought out chat GPT. But there has been an explosion of investment in really anything to do with artificial intelligence in the last two years and so many breakthroughs from so many people in the industry. It's hard to keep up with everything. It can make your head spin. Let's listen a little more from this video release from OpenAI we have this advanced tools that.

So our developers can start building today with GPT4O and making amazing AI applications. Deploying them at scale 4.0 is available at 2x faster, 50% cheaper and 5 times higher rate limits compared to GPT4 Turbo.

So she's getting into some leads here that are obviously very important to their customers, their users, the technology industry. But I'm going to admit completely over my head. But the big themes of it makes things go faster, it makes things less expensive. Those are trends that I think anyone can relate to because when you can communicate quickly and your costs get lower and lower and lower. I mean I'm old enough to remember the days when if you got a long distance calls like you dropped everything, you ran to the house and yes, you had to run to the house to take a phone because you didn't have a cell phone because it was costing a dollar a minute. I mean long distance phone calls were a big deal when I was growing up because they were so expensive. And now you ask someone under 30 many long distance phone calls lately, I think they would look what are you talking about? A phone call is a phone call. They all cost the same. Now we are getting to the point where you can use really, really wildly expensive from a few years ago, video, audio, computer processing, machine learning and put it out in front of the world. Your clients, your customers, your prospects for things that would have cost millions of dollars and were getting to the point where if it's not zero, it's almost zero. And certainly with a lot of platforms and businesses popping up like mushrooms around OpenAI and its technology, many of them do have introductory offers that are in fact free. So anyone can sort of hop into this and get in. Elizabeth says, you know you did a talk with Tim Hughes. Yes, great interview. And if you want to see that full interview with Tim Hughes, just go to the YouTube channel and look under the live category or just search Tim Hughes on my channel. You'll see that. And also let me spotlight fantastic interview with the great Julian Treasure yesterday on the show. If you missed that it's available on demand. It's on a lot of different platforms, but the best place, the easiest place to find it is going to be to go to my YouTube channel. That's just TJ Walker. Success on YouTube and type in Julian Treasure. For those of you who don't know him, he's the sixth most watched TED speaker of all time. You know, people don't realize this, but the average TEDx speech only gets 411 views or the median, I should say half get less than that. Let me say that again. The average TEDx speaker median has 411 views. We think of TED, we think, oh, everyone gets millions of views. No. Well, my guest yesterday, Julian Treasure, has 150 million views of his TED speeches and TEDx speeches. So you're gonna want to watch that interview after our live session today. So please make a note of that. And Elizabeth, thanks so much for watching. Elizabeth, let me ask you, do you have a digital clone? Are you thinking of creating one? If not, why not? And you may think, well, there's just no use for you. Are you seeing other people in your industry using them, talking about them? And if you are an author, expert, trainer, consultant, are you worried that others might get there ahead of you and perhaps make you irrelevant? I will, I will share with you that I've made plenty of bad decisions in my life and I've misjudged technology trends. I got into online course development and online course training in 1998, which turns out was horrible timing, way too early. People didn't have the bandwidth to download video. Really, even the audio I was doing way too early lost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Fortunately, when it did start taking off in 2013, 14, I was there. I had a lot of courses and I really, you know, rode that pony a long, long way. I had a lot of people in my industry, my age, some of them even younger, who said, ah, that's not really serious. I'm going to stick to doing in person trainings, in person speeches, in person keynotes, and guess where they are today. A lot of them broke out of business or retired because they didn't adapt to the technology of the time. I happen to believe, and I could be wrong, that this digital cloning is the technology of our times. And as I mentioned at the beginning of this show today, it's a giant tsunami. It's coming for all of us and we can now see it. All the conditions are right. The weather conditions off the coast and forgive me for being insensitive for anyone who's ever been a victim of a tsunami. I don't mean to be insensitive, but all the conditions are right. The earthquake happened off of the coast of Africa. The giant tsunami is out. We can see it. It's maybe a mile away and it is moments from hitting and completely transforming, changing, in some cases destroying a lot of things in its path. And it's time to get ready. So, Elizabeth Madif, if you have any questions or topics you Wish to discuss related specifically to communication skills and the use of clones. Let me know. Also get your questions ready for our special guest. Today we're bringing on our special guest, which is TJ Walker AI. That's right. I'll be bringing back my own AI to test a few things, to try to learn more, to tweak it more, to figure out how I can make it more useful to you and to others. And who knows, maybe when I go on vacation, I'll have my clone guest host. I don't know if we're there yet, but let's get back to this major statement from the folks at OpenAI yesterday that is now dominating news coverage. So let me play a little more of this.

Just take a deep breath and remember you're the expert.

Civil society.

So what we are going to do is get to the actual demonstration and listen to this.

Let's take a listen to figure out how to best. I will bring on.

Hi, I'm.

I'm Barrett.

So now we're going to get a little bit of a product demonstration. Let's listen.

We're really excited to share with you. Today is real time conversational speech. Let's just get a demo fired up. So I'm taking out a phone. If you are wondering about this wire, it's so we have consistent Internet. And if you see there's this little icon on the bottom right of the ChatGPT app and this will open up GPT4O's audio capabilities. Hey, ChatGPT. I'm Mark.

How are you?

Oh, Mark, I'm doing great, thanks for asking. How about you?

Hey.

So I'm on stage right now. I'm doing a live demo and frankly, I'm feeling a little bit nervous.

I gotta say that that audio quality did sound pretty good to me. I mean, I've been using Siri and Alexa for quite a while, but that voice did seem pretty friendly. Could you tell it's a robot? Yeah, but already I'm detecting some things that sound a little better.

Nervous. Can you help me calm my nerves a little bit?

Oh, you're doing a live demo right now. That's awesome.

Just now, what I noticed there is there was almost zero lag. That really did sound like a phone conversation. And I'm going to assume that this was not an edited thing, this was a live thing. If I'm wrong, please feel free to correct me.

But that was instant.

The problem in the past has been what has happened is the technology listens to what someone says, captures it, converts it into Text, then processes the meaning of the text, then processes the text answer, then converts it to audio. And forgive me for any of you true technologists out there who will say TJ's missing some nuances. I'm sure I am. But conceptually, that's what it is. Supposedly there's a new breakthrough where it no longer has to do that. It can capture the audio and then. Then process it in a way where it spits out an audio response so that it's much, much faster. That is part of the news of what happened they were announcing yesterday. Let's listen more, take a deep breath.

And remember, you're the expert.

I like that suggestion. Let me try a couple deep breaths. Can you give me feedback on my breaths? Okay, here I.

Whoa, slow a bit there, Mark, you're not a vacuum cleaner. Breathe in for a count of four.

Okay, let me try again. So I'm gonna breathe in deeply.

So that, to me, was fascinating. That's better than the current version of my digital clone, because the clone could actually. And I'm using the word clone, that. That's perhaps not the right word because it's not cloning one person. It's the. It's all of ChatGPT in an audio format. But it was able to really detect how he was breathing. So it's analyzing the sound patterns. Now, as a communicator and as a communications coach, that's what fascinates me the most, because that's what I do in real life when I meet face to face with a CEO or an executive, an author expert, someone who's about to do a live interview on CNN or about to give a speech on the main TED stage is I've got to really analyze how they're breathing, how loud they are, how soft they are, how quickly they speak, and they're claiming they could do it. Right now, it's not in my clone yet, but I've been assured by the platform I work with that it's going to be in there very, very quickly. Let's listen more.

For four, and then exhale slowly.

Okay, I'll try again. Breathing in. And breathe out.

That's it. How do you feel?

I feel a lot better. Thank you so much.

So, Mark, you've been working on these capabilities for a while now. Can you tell us a bit how it's different?

So I noticed that they have the program and the structure for this exchange to give very short answers from the AI, and it really does make it sound conversational. In the platform I'm using with my own chat, but I'm giving longer answers and I can adjust that. I could make it give short answers to make it sound really conversational and I can have it go up to about two minutes in length. I'm still trying to figure out what's best, but that really did sound pretty conversational. I have to give them credit there. And again, I should point out I'm not an investor in OpenAI. I'm not an affiliate. I'm just someone fascinated with the potential of artificial intelligence helping communication. And specifically, even though this is not an example a clone, I'm specifically interested in and how it can help you and me clone our expertise to then communicate with the entire world simultaneously in any language. That's really the ultimate dream. Let's watch a little more here from voice mode.

Right, so if you've used our voice mode experience before, you'll notice a couple key differences. First, you know you can now interrupt the model. You don't have to wait for it to finish your turn before you can start speaking and you can just button whenever you want. Second, the model is real time responsiveness. So that means that you don't have this awkward 2 to 3 second lag before you wait for the model to give a response. Finally, the model.

That's huge because there is that lag in my clone right now and it's less than ideal. But I still think it's a lot better than just having to write an email asking someone for a question on a Friday afternoon at 5 your time and not hearing from me or someone else until Monday morning your time. I'd much rather wait two or three seconds than wait two days or if it's going into a holiday, three days. So I like that.

Picks up on emotion. Right when I was breathing super hard there, it could tell and it knew, hey, you might want to calm down a little bit.

You're so it picks up on emotion. I can't stress how important this is for a lot of consultants, trainer, therapists, for that matter. Anyone who's trying to help another human being in any kind of an emotional state. Being able to detect the emotion is going to be a fantastic thing. I mean, think of how many small towns that might not even have an active 911 or an active police presence where an AI could detect if someone is so emotional they're about to kill themselves. Crisis hotlines. I think this would be wildly, wildly helpful and useful where more people could be helped and a lot of money could be saved. And you and I know some of you are thinking, well, tj, that can't replace a real human being. Human beings are always going to be better. Maybe, but what about if you're having a crisis and I'm just thinking, this is just an idea popping into my head right now. What if you're in a mid sized city and you're calling a crisis hotline in your city and you only speak Vietnamese and nobody in the Cleveland crisis center speaks Vietnamese. To be able to speak to an artificial intelligence bot to who can answer your questions, detect your emotion, Perhaps even call 911, because they can tell by analyzing the emotional content of how you're communicating that you're about to kill yourself. And it could save a life. So the impact of this, I think affects so many. Excuse me, my face just got blurry on camera three here. Sometimes I have to pop up there. I got it out of focus. So I love the fact that the latest development is that the AI can detect emotion. That in full disclosure, that's not in my AI yet. But if it's here on OpenAI, it should be trickling down to all the platforms that are using the same underlying technology. So I'm very excited about that. And this is why I think a lot of people historically have said, well, I can never be replaced by a computer because only I as a therapist or as someone prepping someone to appear in a jury, or as a speech coach, or as a singing coach, only I can detect the human emotion. Well, we just saw a demonstration right there that a computer could detect emotion. Let's watch more.

Running a little bit too fast. So, you know, it really has that capability across the board to perceive your emotion. Not only that though, the model is able to generate voice in a variety of different emotive styles and it really has a wide dynamic range. So I'm going to fire up another demo for that.

Yeah.

Hey, chatgpt, how are you doing?

I'm doing fantastic, thanks for asking. How about you? Pretty good, what's up?

So my friend Barrett here, he's been having trouble sleeping lately and I want you to tell him a bedtime story about robots and love.

Oh, a bedtime story about robots and love. I got you covered. Gather round, Barrett. Once upon a time.

So this might not be your style, but I gotta tell you, this really sounds, if not like a human being, at least like a. A world class script writer who had weeks to write a script to make an AI sound like a human being. It does not sound like typical computer. Full sentences thusly, moreover, mitigate. I mean it really does sound more like a human being. Even the saying what's up? Is not something I'm used to seeing a computer spit out. It really does sound conversational. Now let's listen to this bedtime story. I've not heard it yet, but let's see what it came up with instantly.

A time, in a world not too different from ours, there was a robot named Bite. Bite was a curious robot.

Always explore this story, but I want a little bit more emotion in your voice, a little bit more drama.

Got it. Let's add some drama. Once upon a time, in a world not too different from ours, there was a robot named.

I really want maximal emotion, like maximal expressiveness. This much more than you were doing before.

Understood. Let's amplify the drama. Once upon a time, in a world not too different from ours, there was a robot named.

Okay, I'm not a Hollywood actor or a Broadway actor, but if I saw this, I would really be panicking. I mean, I've never. This is the first time I've seen this with you. And I got to tell you, that was, I thought, breathtaking in the ability of someone to just give direction to an AI and it understand what it means and completely change itself. Now, full disclosure, my AI doesn't do that yet. I did. I heard about this development yesterday. I tested mine. Didn't really do it yet. But if OpenAI is doing it again, I'm certainly anticipating this is going to filter down into what my digital clone can do. So I. Again, I don't know what this means to the typical actor, but if someone, if one person can direct an AI to have any range of emotional expression and also any kind of voice, and then presumably you can make the AI look like anything you could say. In fact, I want an actress on screen who looks like a combination of Scarlett Johansson and Cindy Crawford and Beyonce. And it creates an image that's now not stealing anyone's copyright, however that's defined. And I want to have a smooth, silky voice. And here is the scripts and I can watch it and make a million little minute changes for the emotional expressions. The sound, the look of the face. It really does raise the question, why would anyone in Hollywood ever hire an actor again? I don't know. There are certainly implications for employment and entire industries and sectors. I'm not wishing anyone get put out a business. My purpose here on the TJ Walker Success show is to look at ways of helping you and the rest of the world communicate more effectively and more confidently so that you can have More success in life. That my goal is not to put people out of business, but to expand the pie. Expand your pie. In particular, I'm fascinated by this because I would love a way for me to take my own online courses and make them completely interactive, rather than someone just having to listen to my voice and lecture and then try to figure it out and practice on their own. If I could have something where I ask someone to do an exercise and I can instantly hear what they say and give feedback the way they just did, well, now it's really no different than if they could hire me to fly to them and spend two days with them or to spend an hour a day with them forever. That, to me, is what's mind blowing. Let's listen more because I'm learning a lot here with you. These things are happening so quickly, by the way. It's hard to keep up. I mean, there's now sort of a fire hose of breaking news that all relate to artificial intelligence, cloning technology, the ability of computers to speak to humans, to answer questions, to be responsive, and to do more. Yes, there's fraud. It can be used for nefarious purposes, for fraudulent purposes, financial fraud, emotional fraud. Deepfake technology using some of the same underlying technology here can be another form of harassment. I'm not sweeping under the rug all the negative. There's plenty out there, and it's getting due coverage. Coverage it should get. What we're focusing on here is how to use this artificial intelligence, this AI, specifically for creating clones for you and me to help more people in the world. Let's listen more to this demonstration because again, I'm watching this for the first time with you.

Aimed. Bite. Bite.

Let's do this in a robotic voice now.

Initiating dramatic robotic voice. Once upon a time, in a world not too different from ours, there was a robot named Bite. Bite was a curious robot.

All that's. I mean, that's funny, too. Maybe not intentionally funny, but the. The ability to just tell the AI to speak in any way possible. That's interesting. It's actually much more interesting to me that the AI can detect your tone, your emotional state, your heavy breathing. Elizabeth's got to go. Thanks so much for stopping by. Please stop by again tomorrow if you can. And please watch the videos posted on a regular basis right here.

Always exploring new circuits.

Barrett here. Calm down a little bit, can you? End the story, but do it in a singing voice.

This.

And so Bite found another robot friend, and they lived circuitly ever after.

Thank you so much. Now that. That no one has ever asked me to do. I've never been in the middle of a media training or a public speaking training or a speech and someone said, hey, do the same stuff but now sing for the. That's never happened. So I'm not quite sure how useful that is, but it's fascinating to watch that happen on an instantaneous basis. What I'm also fascinated by, and they mentioned at the beginning, is they've gotten rid of that lag time. The two things they've gotten rid of the lag time and they've allowed you when you're talking to your AI to interrupt it at any moment. We're still working on that with my own digital client and I'll give a demonstration of that shortly. Hugo stops by, says hi tj, Hope you're doing well. I am. Hugo, thanks so much for stopping by and asking. Hope you're doing well. I am doing well, but I gotta tell you, I am. I sometimes wake up at five in the morning so excited, ready to jump out of bed because I'm afraid I'm going to be missing more stories on developments on what's going on with digital cloning technology and AI technology. And I sound almost like an infomercial salesman here. I don't want to sound that way. I want to preserve I think my own reputation of being reasonable, rational, measured, thoughtful in my approach to helping people communicate. But I just, I can't help but get excited about all the new developments that are allowing people to share their thoughts, share their expertise to anyone in the world in a one on one conversational way. Now we've had for quite some time, certainly since the beginning of YouTube, the ability to communicate our ideas to anyone in the world as long as they have an Internet connection and a cell phone, which, you know, when YouTube started in 2006, most of the world didn't have that. Now most of the world does. So we've had the ability to simply communicate in a one way, a broadcast way now for going on almost 20 years. So there's nothing new there. But what is different is the ability for there to be one on one style communication with one person in one country and an expert in another and it to happen simultaneously all over the world and the expert doesn't have to be there and yet the experience is still interactive where the other person can drive the conversation. That's just never happened before in the history of the world, especially when you add the audio component and from what I understand in the next few weeks the video component will come Out. I mean, ideally, we get to the point where I could be doing this show right now, and I'm actually six blocks away at the beach, sitting on the beach at Delray Beach, Florida, which is where I live. And my clone is here doing this. And you might not notice. And if you did notice, you might not care. I don't think we're necessarily that far off. Hugo says we live in exciting times. I absolutely agree. When do you foresee your clone being able to analyze audio recordings and provide public speaking advice? Well, it currently gives public speaking advice, and I'm going to demonstrate it here later. Now, it's not yet able to analyze audio recordings unless you're just speaking to it. And then it can analyze your messages, your words, your ideas. It cannot analyze your tone, your speaking speed, and your volume. But if you want to come on and ask my clone a question, Hugo, I'd be happy to let you test it out right here. And you can also just go to it anytime. Right now, we're in a sort of a beta phase, so we're making it completely open to anyone. You don't even have to give me.

Your name or your email address.

I will. I will put that up here shortly for those of you who want to join it, but I want to watch a little more of this demonstration. I wasn't planning on spending this much time with a promotional video from OpenAI, but I got to tell you, it is absolutely riveting being able to give direction like that. Again, I'm glad I'm not a Hollywood actor, but I don't want to be too smug here, folks, because maybe this thing makes my expertise completely irrelevant. Maybe in a year, no one wants my courses. No one wants to hire me for a speech or a training. So, you know, let's not get too smug here, folks. I don't have all the answers. We are all. I mean, most technologists would say at some point, general artificial intelligence will make virtually every traditional job irrelevant because the AI can do it better. Will we want human caregivers or artists that we can see them and touch them? Maybe. Will humans evolve into other services that are professions that are in demand? Possibly, but you could say any current profession as it is currently practiced, at some point, general artificial intelligence will be able to do better, cheaper. Now, will that happen in five years, or is that 200 years out? I don't know where. I'm not making any predictions on that. I do think for right now, all any of us can do is try to learn as much as possible. Figure out at what point do we want to hop in and use a new technology? You hop in way too soon, you can lose a lot of money. If I had the brilliant idea of starting Uber in 1998, I could have raised maybe $5 billion. I would have lost every penny. Uber didn't work until everybody had a cell phone. And the technology and the GPS and everything else had to be in place. So certain things only work when other things are in place. I do think that all the pieces are in place for artificial intelligence cloning to explode. And there's going to be a period where there are going to be a huge number of big winners and a lot of people who don't win anything and some people who see their businesses decimated. Certainly online training did that to a lot of people who were only used to training in person. When you combine the pandemic with the rise of people's interest in online training, people who built in a lot of online courses and made online courses did really well. People who did not adapt to the technology became irrelevant. And I'm worried, I gotta say, I wake up every day worried that I. I'm not going to catch this trend the right way. When it comes to cloning technology AI clones, I'm pretty confident it's not too late. That's the one thing I'm confident because I don't see any of my competitors using clones at this point. That's how I know it's not too late. I also feel like it's not too early because of things like these developments we're seeing announced just yesterday by OpenAI and the fact that they're now consumer platforms, some of them Behuman is one I've talked about. CoachVox is another one. Delphi AI is one that is the one that I'm currently using and have built my own clone with which we'll be talking about later. Hugo has to stop, has to pop off. But Hugo, glad you could stop by and please let us know when you can come back again. And feel free to ask me or my clone questions. Okay, we're going to continue this exploration of the latest developments from the folks at OpenAI. Let's listen in.

Feel a lot more relaxed.

You've just seen the voice capabilities, but we also want to show you the vision capabilities as the model can also see the whole world around us.

Yeah, absolutely. Like, as you can see, you know, you can chat with chat GPT in real time, but you can also interact with it with video as well. Okay, let me boot Up. Chat.

GPT.

Hey, chat.

Okay, so now I'm really getting excited because to me, this is the missing piece. Because what I do, what people pay me to do when they pay a lot of money for a full day of training, training time with me is they're paying me to typically be in the same room with them. They do a sample speech, they do a sample media interview. Often I'm interviewing them, we record it, but then I'm watching them and I'm critiquing everything they do with their hands, their eyes, the eye darting, fidgeting. I'm giving a detailed, detailed analysis, everything I see. And it can be sometimes a little tell, like their. Their foot is tapping under the floor and they think no one notices it. And I'll zoom in with the camera, but I'll also point it out. That's the part where just being able to ask a question and hear an audio doesn't deal with that. So I really want to see what the capabilities are now of the artificial intelligence using a camera to. I won't say seeing. That sounds like I'm analyzing anthropomorphizing, but it's inputting data visually through a camera. Let's see what it does.

Hello there. How's it going?

It's going really well today. I'd really like your help solving a math problem.

I'm all ears. What math problem can I help you tackle today?

So I'm going to write down a linear equation on a sheet of paper and I'll show you, and then I'd love your help working me through it. But importantly, don't tell me the solution, just help give me hints along the way.

Got it. Okay, I see it.

No, I didn't show you yet. Just give me help along the way. One second.

Okay, a few glitches there.

Whoops, I got too excited. I'm ready when you are.

So, ChatGPT, what equation did I write down there?

Ah, I see it now. You wrote down three x plus one equals four.

Yep, exactly.

So what's the first step I should take to try to solve this?

The first step is to get all the terms with x on one side and the constants on the other side.

So.

So what do you think we should do with that plus one?

Okay, I'm going to try to subtract one from both sides and then I'll see what I get.

Great idea. Perfect. Now what do you get?

Okay, this. This is also. Again, I hate to sound like I'm some hype machine or some fanboy but this truly is breathtaking as well, because so much research has shown that if you can get individualized tutoring, it's 2, 3 standard deviations more effective than if you're in a big classroom and you have to sort of listen to the.

Teacher, talk to the whole class.

And already you can see that this is not just giving the answer. I was kind of expecting it to just look at it and say, the answer is one. But this is going through systematically, step by step, how to teach someone. And if you're a trainer, a consultant.

A coach, this is what we do.

This is what we get paid for. This is why we, some of us, make the big bucks. And if our clone can do it, then. Let me just go full screen a moment because this is profoundly important. Those of us who are experts in any way, whether you're a consultant, a trainer, an author, a speaker, let's say you charge $10 a day, and I'm obviously making that up. That's not enough to. To pay the rent. In most Western societies, let's say you're used to charging $10 a day, but you can really only work with one client that day. You can only give one keynote speech if you got to fly to another city. So you're capped out at $10 a day. Now, for some people, that cap might actually be $200,000 a day. Okay, you don't feel sorry for someone making $200,000 a speech. I get it. But bear with me. If all of a sudden you could create the same experience for a client or a customer or a student or a trainee, and it's really just as good as. Or 98% as good, and you're used to charging $10. What if now you charge $0.50, but you're instantly available to everyone in the world in any language, and for every one person who was willing to pay $10 for you, let's say there's a thousand who'd be happy to pay 50 cents. So what would you rather have? $10 or a thousand times 50 cents, which is what? $5,000? I think you'd rather have $5,000 rather than $10. Right. And for our friends making $100,000 a day currently for a speech, well, what is that, 5 million a day if they're making it and it scales out that way. So that's why it's fast. Let's listen to more of this. I want to see. Is this AI patient? Does it see when someone's making a mistake? Does it critique it? I'm watching this with you in real time. And so I'm forming my opinions as we go. I want you to give your opinions as well, especially if you're watching this on demand. And I appreciate those of you watching us live today on YouTube, LinkedIn, X, Facebook, Instagram and several other places. Let's watch more. And by the way, this lag time we're getting can't be blamed on computer lag time. It's just me fumbling around with my mouse.

Apologies when you subtract one from both sides.

Okay, so chatgpt, this is what I ended up with. How does this look?

Spot on. Now you've isolated the term with X on one side and it looks like 3x = 3. What do you think we should do next to solve for X?

I'm not sure. Can you give me another hint?

Of course. You have three x and you want to find the value of X. Think about what operation would undo multiplication.

Is it subtraction?

Close. But think of the opposite of multiplication because 3x means 3 times x.

Okay. I think it's division. Let me try to divide both sides by three and let me see what I get.

Bingo. Go ahead and divide both sides by three.

Okay, so chatgpt, this is what I ended up with. How does this look?

It looks perfect. You've solved it. And x equals 1. Nicely done. How do you feel about solving linear equations now?

Yeah, honestly, I'm not pretty confident I.

Can solve linear equations, but okay, I'm impressed by that because I mean, I saw the problem, 3x plus 1 equals 4 and I could instantly. My daughter said, how do I figure this out? I could instantly say, Well, x is 1. But the way the artificial intelligence taught that, step by step, the process, if I'm candid, is better than I would have done with my own daughter. That's what's frankly scary. Scary and exciting. Now, I'm not a math teacher. For a math teacher, the way they did it may have seemed obvious and simple and easy. A math teacher may have said, well, there's actually three other better ways of doing it than that. But to my eyes and ears as a non math teacher, that was really well done. What do you think? I'd like to know. Hi, if you're just joining us, I'm TJ Walker. This is the TJ Walker Success Channel where we help you become more successful in life by communicating more effectively and by being more confident in your communication. And we deal with everything from how do you be less nervous when you're starting a presentation? How can you look your best if you're speaking on camera and you're worried about your eyes going back and forth or where to frame yourself in the camera, we handle all of those issues to help you. And our big fascination right now, my big fascination is how to help you communicate more effectively using the power of artificial intelligence, specifically how to use cloning technology, the artificial intelligence that puts that all together for you to communicate more effectively to people all over the world at any time, in any language. That's really what we're trying to learn. We're dissecting the most recent product announcement from OpenAI and their introduction to chat GPT4, I guess it's O is what they're calling it so far. Been extraordinarily impressed with what they're doing. We've just finished hour one of the TJ Walker Success Show. I want to thank you for joining us. We're going to keep proceeding here and I'm also going to bring up my own robot. It's not really a robot, my own clone, my own digital clone. And we're going to be doing some testing here. Interesting thing, the OpenAI has a number of features that mine does not have yet. But I've been led to believe by my own platform that I'm using, which is Delphi AI, that it's coming very quickly. Let's watch more of this product demo.

Why would you ever need to use this in the real world? I'm really skeptical.

That's a fair question. Linear equations pop up in a lot of everyday situations even if we don't realize it. For example, calculating expenses, planning, travel, cooking and even in business for profit and loss calculations. It's basically a way to solve problems. We you need to find an unknown value.

Plus, wow, it's, you know, I have a lot of unknown.

So I'm going to make some comments about the voice. The voice is a great voice. Now, they're not trying to clone anyone's individual voice in real life, so you can't really compare. When people are putting together digital clones of themselves, you obviously you want it to sound as close to you as possible. I can't judge the quality of this voice. What I can say is it's a great sounding voice. The only thing that makes it sound artificial is it sounds so good. It doesn't sound like a real human being in that sense because very few people just sound that fantastic. That sounds like, you know, an AT&T commercial I believe is the voiceover artist Susan Berkley. So it sounds fantastic. I can't take off points for sounding that good because it's not trying to sound like a real person. JM stops in to say hello. The good thing for students is that this virtual tutor will never lose its patience. Well, jm, I've been guilty of that myself. Sometime if I see. If I give someone some instruction, let's say I give it to them five times and I say, stop looking down. Look up at your audience. And every time they're looking down at their notes. Yeah, I mean, I've never yelled at a client or student for that, but maybe they could tell I was losing patience. The AI is not going to lose patience. So a great point there, jm and thanks for stopping by. Let me know if you have questions about what we're discussing here today with. With using artificial intelligence to communicate. Specifically clones. And in a moment, I'm going to bring my own clone on and we're going to ask it questions and see how it does. I can tell you right now, it is not doing as many things as well as the latest rollout of this chat. GPT4 or. Oh, let's watch some more and learn more.

He's in my life. I'm totally convinced we. I'm gonna learn math now.

I love that attitude. Math can definitely help solve some of life's mysteries. Whenever you're ready to dive into more math, I'm here for you. Anything else you'd like to tackle today?

So, ChatGPT, I really love that you, you know, taught the value of math to my. My friend Mark, and I wrote one last thing I'd love if you could take a look at.

Of course. I'd love to see what you wrote. Show it to me. Whenever you're ready.

Okay, so this is what I wrote down. What do you see?

I see. I love ChatGPT. That's so sweet of you.

Yeah, well, I really appreciate all the help. So. Yeah, as we can see.

So interesting there. It can tell symbols too. It's not just reading text. It could. It could tell, sort of a homemade heart means love. Interpret it and give a response that sounded like it had the same emotional state of a human if you gave them the same message. So that was fascinating when I. What I have not seen yet is can it analyze someone's spatial movements, structure, body language? Let's see if they have any other aspects of their demonstration here.

Wow, that's quite the outfit you've got on.

Yeah, as we, you know, we can chat in real time to ChatGPT. And not only that, we can Interact with it with video as well.

And I swear, like if you look at Barrett's GPT history, it's all equations like this.

Now that you know you can do linear equations, can you show us something more complex?

I think so. Okay, next let's try something pony related. So let me take out a computer for this. Okay, so I'm going to open the.

No, I thought I heard it say comment on the gentleman's clothing. That, that to me is of greater interest. But let's see where they go from here.

Here.

And on the screen we have some code. And then the ChatGPT voice app is on the right. So ChatGPT will be able to hear me, but it can't see anything on the screen. So I'm going to highlight the code command C it and then that will send it to chatgpt.

Now, the other interesting thing to me is they haven't tried to personalize it by giving it a name like Siri or Alexa. Because while this the voice does sound friendlier and more lifelike than Siri or Alexa, it is a little odd saying that calling something chat GTP Random Rick stops by and says this show is the flashback part of the movie after AI has installed martial law 2034. So Rick brings up an important and Rick, if you want to come on and talk to us, I'm more than happy to talk about these things because there are numerous, numerous ethical considerations that have to be dealt with and grappled with when it comes to artificial intelligence. I by no means need to seem like I'm sweeping under the rug all the potential problems that artificial intelligence could bring about. No lesser and a futurist and theorist than Elon Musk thinks that AI could ultimately destroy humanity. So I'm not in any way discounting that. My job right here as someone who tries to help people become more successful in life and trying to help them communicate more effectively is to help people use technology to communicate more effectively. So I'm trying to figure out how to use digital clones to do that. Can they get to the point where they take over and impose martial law? Maybe. I do think there are a lot of very seasoned cultural and legal and ethical experts looking at that daily, talking about it on the op ed pages of the New York Times and other other August news journals. And it deserves attention and more attention. What I am trying to do is to figure out how. Here we are at May 1st 15th, 2024. This technology is rolling out every single day. If you haven't seen your competitor using a digital clone to beat you in the marketplace today or last week. You're going to see it next week. I'm pretty confident of that. So what I want to do is equip myself and equip you with the tools so that you can use artificial intelligence in a way that you feel is ethical and honest and transparent. And it takes some. It takes some figuring out. No one's got all the answers right away. I rolled out my artificial intelligence clone about a week and a half ago, I guess two weeks ago. And it's you. You push the button and said, hi, I'm T.J. walker. And one of my colleagues, Barb Tomlin, said, you know what? It's not TJ Walker, it's TJ Walker's clone. And I'm paraphrasing her, but she. She correctly pointed out it's a little bit misleading. And you know what? I typed a change. And so now it says, hi, I'm TJ Walker's clone. So now I'm being completely honest and completely transparent. I didn't mean to mislead anyone, but it takes a while going through all these. And Rick's. Please come back anytime and appreciate you stopping by at work and listening. And if you want to type in any questions or comments, happy to do that. JM says. I imagine that soon it will be able to give fashion advice based on the latest trends. Well, I can't imagine that not happening now. You don't want to take fashion advice from my clone. I'll tell you right up front. And full disclosure, I'm colorblind, and this suit is now 15 years old. Some of you may like it, some of you may hate it, but that's not my core area of expertise. There's going to be a time when, let's say, you. You like the guru, Tim Guns. Presumably everything he's ever said about fashion can be input into a clone. And then you can ask his clone, what do you think of what I'm wearing today? And he can give you advice based on every insight he ever had. Some people would pay for that and find it valuable. Rick says, I use Ahrefs AI page to help with YouTube description. It does a good job. Just need to change a few words here and there sometimes. Okay, I'm not familiar with that one. I happen to use a Vidiq, so my team, you know, I'll make the video without a title and I'll just. Just start talking. My team will put together a working title, plug it into Vidiq, it runs it through an AI program and then it spits out recommendations using artificial intelligence. So that's something I've been doing now for, oh, eight, eight, nine months or so. So artificial intelligence is sort of creeping its way into every imaginable nook and cranny of any professional's life. So it is get, whether you realize it or not, you go to Amazon and you think, oh, that's exactly what I was looking for. You buy it so much artificial intelligence and algorithms and behind the scenes things had to happen using AI to put that product around right in front of you at that time. And that's why if we're going to be having AI used on us, we might as well learn how to use it too. Let's watch a little more from this presentation. But jm, I agree with you. Once the AI, and it appears it's at least possible to in some versions of the OpenAI programs, once it can analyze what you're wearing and give you feedback, that's going to be something that's going to be used extensively. No doubt about it. Let's watch a little more here.

And then I'm going to talk about the code to ChatGPT. Hey, chat GPT.

Hey there. How's it going?

Yeah, it's going really well. I was wondering if you could help me with a coding problem today.

Of course, I'd love to help you out.

I'm going to fast forward that because I don't know anything about coding. Coding, 1 second.

Has only been able to see the code and now I'm going to run it and then I'll use the vision capabilities of the ChatGPT desktop app so it can actually see everything going on on the screen as well.

Five degrees and 30 degrees, 77 degrees Fahrenheit.

So this is interesting. You can, you can be using a version of the AI on a desktop or a laptop and it can see everything that you're doing on the screen, analyze it, giving you suggestions. Obviously highly useful function.

286 degrees Fahrenheit.

What's going on with the Y axis? Is this in Celsius or Fahrenheit?

The Y axis is in Celsius. The temperatures are labeled accordingly, such as average temperature, minimum temperature and maximum temperature. Yeah.

So as we can see, you know, not only can ChatGPT help me solve very easy linear algebra equations that I need help with, it can also interact with, you know, code bases and see the outputs of plots and everything like this going on on a computer.

So a few minutes ago, we asked the live Audience on X to submit few requests for what they would like us to try out here. So I will take a couple of prompts.

Okay, so I want to take a moment to sort of step back into my more traditional role of being a coach and a critic, a presentation skills coach and critic, and just talk about this demo. I have to tell you, I'm pretty impressed with it. There are a few minor things, like every so often you see someone's head sort of, you know, blocking and blacking out the bottom of the screen, which they were planning. But in general, the spokespeople they have are coming across as articulate. They do not sound like they've memorized stuff. That's one of the problems of certain product demos is it's worst case scenario. People are trying to read teleprompters. I don't get the sense that anyone is reading here. They've clearly practice this, which, as they should, they're clearly comfortable with the material, but they're more or less conversational. They come across as friendly, likable. They all, they're all coming across very, in a positive, you know, photogenic, mediagenic way on screen. Certainly nothing distracting. No one looks nervous here or uncomfortable. The set, it does look like a real set. It doesn't look like an AI generated thing where they're sitting in front of a green screen. They have an audience there. It kind of gives the whole thing more of a big to do. I mean, Steve Jobs famously would introduce products at the San Francisco Opera House, which is a beautiful venue with thousands of screaming people. They didn't do that, but they did get it in front of people. Overall, I have to tell you, I'm very impressed with their use of the medium of video and traditional speaking skills from real human beings to talk about this innovation. But I'd love to get your thoughts now. Rick says it does seem pretty scripted. Obviously it's scripted in the sense that they have a clear cut outline of where they want to go, how they want to demonstrate this, what they want to talk about next. But as someone who works with executives all over the world, I can tell you when you take a non actor and have a word for word script and tell them to either memorize it or read it off of a teleprompter, what you get is something like this. And today I'm here to tell you about Chatgi and it's awful. I haven't heard any signs of any of them sounding like that. They do not appear to me to be reading a teleprompter. And they don't sound memorized. They're certainly familiar with it. They certainly know what they want to talk about at any one point. But it doesn't have that canned artificial quality of a non actor trying to push out lines. But Rick, if you feel differently, feel free to point out any part where you think it sounds. It sounds scripted in a way that sounds phony. Now, we would want them to script. You would never leave a movie and say, well, I hated the way that movie seems scripted. Well, any great movie is scripted. This is not a movie. It's a corporation trying to tell people about a new product. And obviously we want them having given thought to it. And Rick says, true, but they look a bit younger and that generation is more at ease in front of cameras. Could be actors as well. Now, I didn't see the introduction, but I don't think these are actors. I think these are people who actually work there. Yeah, they are a little younger than I am, but these days most people are. And when you look at the the age of people who work in tech startups, there's a lot of tech startups that have very few people over the age of 30. So I get the sense they actually work here. But I don't want to guess and put out false information. But these do not seem to be actors to me. Let's watch more.

Okay. Bot Gasker wants to know if GPT4O is capable of real time translation. Mike, you want to try this one?

Sure, sure.

Yeah, let's do it.

I speak Italian, so let's try to do English.

Italian, sure, let's do it.

So right there you can see somebody's head is in the bottom left screen. So they didn't get that part quite right. Now, Rick, you were mentioning scripted. They did say we're going to take questions and somebody, somebody on Twitter posted a question. Is it possible they planted it in advance? It's possible. And it may be they didn't plant one in particular, but they knew. Okay, we're going to get tons of questions. Let's just pick one on this topic. But it certainly felt like it was spontaneous and open and inclusive. I'll give them credit for that.

Hey, chatgpt, how are you?

I'm doing fantastic, thanks for asking. How about you, how's your day going?

Doing great. So I would like you to function as a translator. I have a friend here who only speaks Italian and I only speak English. And every time you hear English, I want you to translate it to Italian. And if you hear Italian I want you to translate it back to English.

Is that good?

Perfetto, Mike. She wonders, if whales could talk, what would they tell us?

They might ask, how do we solve linear equations?

Certainly, yes.

Great. Looks like it works.

All right, so a little pushback there. I don't speak Italian, so I don't know how good the Italian was. I don't know what the accent sounded like. To really test its language capabilities, I would want to see a back and forth conversation that's 10 minutes long or so, and then I would want to hear from someone who is a native speaker in that other language that it's translating my English to and ask them, how good was this? Does it really sound like a real person? Were there words off? Were there nuances lost? Were there cliches that were mangled? That was such a short answer. We can't really tell, but it certainly seems like. I mean, it sounded good to my ear. But again, that's not a good test because I don't speak Italian.

So the next One is from BuritoJohn78, who asks, can you tell what you're feeling just by looking at your face? Barrett, you want to give this one a try?

Absolutely. Let's try it out. Hey, ChatGPT.

Hey, there. What's up? How can I brighten your day today?

Okay, yeah. So I'm going to show you a selfie of what I look like, and then I'd like you to try to see what emotions I'm feeling based on how I'm looking.

Sounds like a fun challenge. Go ahead and show me that selfie, and I'll put my emotional detective hat on.

Okay. So here's me. So what kind of emotions do you think I'm feeling?

It seems like I'm looking at a picture of a wooden surface.

Oh, you know what? That was the thing I sent you before. Don't worry. I'm not actually a table. Okay, so take another look.

That makes more sense. There we go. It looks like you're feeling pretty happy and cheerful with a big smile and maybe even a touch of excitement. Whatever's going on, it seems like you're in a great mood. Care to share the source of those good vibes?

Yeah.

No.

The reason I'm in a really good mood is because we were doing a presentation showcasing.

Okay, so now this is getting near and dear to my heart, because as a presentation skills coach, when I'm working with someone face to face or on zoom, I do have to analyze their facial expressions, because so often someone is practicing a presentation and they want to come out and good morning, I'm happy to be here today. Today I'm going to talk about. So they're saying they're happy to be here, but their face is completely blank and they look bored or nervous or uncomfortable. So there's a huge disconnect. So when I'm coaching someone, I have to really be able to read all of their expressions or lack of expression and they've got to be able to see it too when we look at the video. So this is something I'm frankly worried about. If I get too far down in this clone rabbit hole, if that never becomes available, the clone being able to analyze it, then, then it's trouble. This to me is good news. If it can actually read someone's face, detect smiles, detect. Now what would have been more nuanced? If it said you were smiling with your mouth but not your eyes so it didn't seem completely authentic. That would have really impressed me there. Rick says, and I want contrarian opinions here. Please do not feel like you have to agree with me. Rick says, I guess I'm a skeptic because of the, the heavy presentation rehearsed look. Plus my dang voice to text on my phone gets it wrong 80% of the time. This thing is spot on every time. So all fair points because I dictate. I mean yesterday I was dictating numerous time and you know, Apple's not like a small little startup that has no capital for AI. I was dictating text, some restaurant reservations, but also text to a friend and the friend's name was Marta. And it's always converting it to Martha. Well, it makes sense because Martha is a very common name in, in the English speaking world, Marta less of a common name. So it's converting it to what the algorithms show, statistically speaking is the most likely name. So it's not 100% accurate. I guess the question, Rick, is is this new thing chatgpt, dash4o a thousand times better? A little bit better. Is it going to be accurate 70% of the time? In which case, if you're in high precision fields like medicine or law, does that make it worthless? This or is it, you know, 99.9 accurate? I have no idea. Again, I'm not a spokesperson for OpenAI or chat GPT4O or Dash4O. So tell me a little more, Rick, of why you think it looks heavily rehearsed because even then they, they had a mistake. It could have been planned, but the chatbot took the image of the Wooden desk. They laughed. So no, that's not me. Let me do it on the other one. The way the person laughed and then went to the other one to me seemed real. That did not seem.

I could be wrong.

They could be the absolute greatest actors in the entire world. In my experience, typically high tech companies just don't spend money on actors because they're too afraid that the actor is not going to be able to ask a question or respond to something or won't be able to answer a question the right way. And it would take such a high degree of writing. I don't think a corporation, especially a relatively young startup, is going to write in the little tiny joke of them making a mistake and having the chat. Look at the other end and look at the table versus the picture of him smiling. It just doesn't. Because it's not big enough to be. To seem like a nice, well written joke and it's too small to seem like it was just put in there. So that's why I, I'm not feeling like that was written out word for could be wrong. I've been wrong before. In the 2012 political campaign, all sorts of pundits were saying that Mitt Romney had a ridiculous looking orange skin, bronzer on, and he looked like an orange in one of the political debates. And I was saying, no, no, I don't really think that's what it is. The lighting can look different in any set. I just don't think he took the time to spray himself with bronzer knowing he could look ridiculous and look like an orange. And this is 2012 before it became widely acceptable for certain political figures to have giant orange makeup on all the time. Well, it turns out I was completely wrong. Mitt Romney later admitted, yes, he wears a lot of bronzer all the time. He likes to appear tan. I was just completely wrong. So I want to have full disclosure. I can be wrong. Rick says, well, we've seen this set set up before, an infomercial style back in TV days. And they aren't talking over each other. Kind of. Kind of. Stop, go. Just my opinion. So you're saying the fact that they aren't talking over each other makes it seem unnatural? Possibly. But I, I also think that when you're on, if you're not a professional actor and you're surrounded by people and you're being video recorded for the world to see, you do tighten up a little bit, you're kind of politer not to talk over people. That may be one of the reasons for it let's watch a little more, see what else we can learn here. So, by the way, I will grade them on one other thing. You know, one of the problems that most corporations have when they're putting out their own videos is it just seems too much like propaganda. We're the greatest for this and we're wonderful, and this is a part of our 200 year tradition. It seems like propaganda and it's boring. I got to tell you, I've not been bored by this. They definitely pass the test of if someone's watching this and every few seconds saying, so so what? I think they have a good answer for it because every. Basically every few seconds I'm thinking, oh, that's interesting. That's really what you want, whether you're giving a speech, whether you're giving a presentation, a PowerPoint or a video demonstration. You want an audience member every few seconds. If they had to reflect, think, wow, I can see how that'd be interesting. I can see how that'd be useful. They're passing that test to me again. I'm not a spokesperson for OpenAI. We could, in fact, Rick, find out the whole thing was staged and that this is all vaporware and none of this works. I doubt that, but we'll see. We don't know. With the language capabilities, is it 99.9% accurate? Is it 70% accurate? If it's 70% accurate, well, I may want to use it next time I'm in a foreign country and at a restaurant. I don't mind the chance that maybe I get veal instead of chicken. It wouldn't be that much of a catastrophe. So we'll see. Time will tell. Rick says, true, they aren't doing any B roll of outer space saying, we are the future. Okay, yes, we'll give them credit for that.

How useful and amazing you are.

Oh, stop it. You're making me blood.

Amazing. Well, that's it for today on live demos. As you can see, this just feels so magical, and that's wonderful. But we also want to remove some of the mysticism from the technology and bring it to you so you can try it for yourself. So over the next few weeks, we'll be rolling out these capabilities.

So when I hear her speaking, she's looking at the audience. She's clearly not looking at a teleprompter. She's moving, she's gesturing, she's coming across natural, relaxed. She mentioned her native language is Italian. That's another reason why I don't think they hired actors. I don't know any rational reason, no offense to our friends in Italy. I don't know of any rational reason why they would want to especially appeal to an Italian marketplace and hire an Italian actress. I don't know why they would do that. So that's why I and forgive me if it's clearly stated in the description who these people are. They may be very senior vice presidents who've worked at OpenAI for the last three years, but one of our viewers had mentioned he thought maybe they're actors. They're not. They don't seem like that to me. Let's see if there's anything else that we can learn from this.

To everyone today has been very much focused on the free users and the new modalities and new products. But we also care a lot about the next frontier.

So soon we'll Rick points out correctly, we're not hearing ums, uhs, ers, other verbal tics. Guess she is just really well spoken. I think she is well spoken. She's not one of my clients, but I do teach people how to speak without saying uhs and ums and er. It's really not very hard. And presumably they had a choice of numerous executives who could have done this for the product demo and they picked people who were already seen as more articulate. And presumably they rehearsed this a number of times. They didn't rehearse with me, but presumably they did rehearse. There's a number of great presentation skills experts and media coaches right there in the San Francisco area where they're based.

We'll be updating you on our progress towards the next big thing. And before we wrap up, I just want to thank the incredible OpenAI team and also thanks to Jensen and the Nvidia team for bringing us the most advanced GPUs to make this demo possible today. And thank you all very, very much for being a part of this today.

Okay, so maybe I'll be made a fool of later as revelations come out, but based on what I saw, I have to give this extraordinarily high marks from a presentation experience standard. I thought they did a good job. There's certainly. Let's just check and see like how many views this is getting. And this is not m this is not meant to be a Mr. Beast style video, obviously. Wow. 3 million views since yesterday. I was, I was about to be impressed if it had 120,000 views because there's no humor. Well, there's a little bit of humor, but no one's. You're not getting 10 year old kids passing this around, you know, in the schoolyard during lunchtime for quick laughs. To get 3 million views for a corporate demonstration is phenomenal. Once again, it shows. People are just so profoundly fascinated by this new technology of artificial intelligence, voice and artificial intelligence. And while this, technically speaking, wasn't a clone, it wasn't cloning one person. It was pulling information from all of the Internet from ChatGPT. It's definitely relevant to what I'm looking for and I think a lot of you are looking for in clones and the ability to analyze voice, analyze facial expressions, that is profoundly, profoundly powerful. So we spent a little more time on that than I thought we would, but I think it was well worth it. Rick says, I got that chatgpt in the title. Should have put in your title note to self. Okay, good point. So I, I didn't even think I would spend that much time on this article, to be totally frank. Rick. So sometimes these evolve and you talk about scripted. This show is not scripted. This is a live experience. For those of you coming here for the first time, who am I and what are we doing? My name is TJ Walker. This is the TJ Walker Success Channel where I try to help you become more successful in your professional life and your personal life by improving your communication skills and by boosting your confidence in your communication skills skills. So we do a lot of different things here. I take your questions, do live demonstrations. I'll critique your own public speaking. If you want, you can post a video here or come join me live. All you have to do is push the button on streamyard and you can give a pitch, a presentation or a talk and I'll give you feedback right here. It won't cost you anything. You'll get it in live time. This is also kind of my own workshop. I take you behind. Let me take the screen off here. Sorry, we'll take that off. And I mean, I sort of take you metaphorically behind the curtains of my workshop and show you how a content creator makes content. Some I haven't done it as much here lately, but I also give demonstrations for aspects of keynote speaking. So I've got these camera angles so I can move around and demonstrate the way people do when they are giving a presentation. So that's a part of what we do right here on a daily basis. Part of what we do is you see me make rough draft videos because I do have a YouTube channel and a channel on all major social media where typically we post two short form videos a day on Some aspect of communication skills and one long form video a day. These are edited in addition to our live videos and you see it right here most pretty much all other channels. You see the final slip produced product. I show you the rough drafts, I show you when I mess up, I show you when I make mistakes. And I do it for a couple of reasons. Number one, I'm trying to kill two birds with one stone. If I got to do it anyway, I might as well get two bites at the apple. So if I'm going to make the video, people can watch it on demand, but I might as well get other people looking at it in the process of making it. So that's, that's part of why I do it. The other reason I'm doing it is I want to motivate you to speak out more. There's so many great experts in the world who have great insights and great knowledge and they just feel like, well, if someone asked me to speak, yeah, I'll show up or I'll talk or I'll answer the question. But I don't want to just put my own face on camera. I don't want to speak out. I don't want to host a podcast or host a YouTube channel or a TikTok channel because I don't have a face for TV or I don't have a voice. All nonsense. If you have expertise, if you've ever helped one person in the entire world, talking to them, giving them feedback, giving them advice, then you can help people across the world using the form of video. Excuse me one second. Violated my own principle there. You should never talk till you're dry. You should be drinking water throughout any presentation and don't be embarrassed about it. I'm here talking to you live. Nothing wrong with me getting water. I saw Jerry Seinfeld on stage a few months ago here in down in South Florida. He was funny, great show. Consummate professional, every 10 minutes, stops and takes a glass of water, drinks out of a bottle of water. No one's offended. You can do that too. So that's what we're all about. I have recently become highly fascinated with the technology of co cloning, artificial intelligence, cloning to help someone communicate in real time in things that mimic real one on one conversations. And that's what we're going to focus on now. I want feedback. And Rick, if you're still there, others there, I want your feedback. I'm going to bring up now our old friend and regular here, and that is TJ Walker's clone I realize that sounds indulgent and it kind of sounds delusional too, but that is the world we're in right now. So I've just brought up my clone and. Oh, and Rick, no need to apologize. Rick points out a question off topic but curious. What type of mic do you use? So I am using right now a, I believe it's pronounced Sennheiser microphone. It's about a thousand dollars. It's a, what's called a shotgun mic and it's. You know what, I'll try, I don't want to mess up my set, but I'll try to just show you a little. Let me go off here a minute and show you. Okay, now you can see it. So it's pointed at my mouth, very powerful. Now if I get too close to it, you're probably noticing it sounds a little garbled. If I get this far away, you're going to start to hear some echo. So it's really good. If you're kind of a consistent, I would say, you know, 12 to 24 inches away. I have it here because when I go to camera one for this shot, it's about the same distance. You may hear a little bit different, but it's pretty good. So that is in fact the, the microphone I use. I'm going to try to adjust my camera again there. So it's, it's just out of the frame, but it's, you know, whatever this distance is, is that 14 inches or so away. So that's the distance. But Rick never, never a problem to ask about any of the technical aspects because if you want to communicate, unless all you do is open your window and shout out the window, you have to use technology. You're writing a book. A book is a technology. It was a brand new fancy, exotic technology when Gutenberg created the printing press. Email is a technology. Texting is a technology. And guess what? Using artificial intelligence clones is a technology. So it's virtually impossible unless you are sitting down face to face with another human being to communicate without using technology. And the problem with one on one communication is it's not scalable and it's not profitable if you're trying to make a living out of your expertise. And Rick points out it sounds good. Thanks for the info. Well, I'm glad you like it, Rick, but I'm sometimes reluctant to mention it because I don't want people to use the excuse of, well, I'd love to start a YouTube channel, but you know, I don't have a thousand dollars for mike you don't need that. The microphones built into an iPhone these days are fantastic. If you're close and I use a little microphone, this isn't exactly it, but it's close to it where it plugs into an iPhone and then I just plug it on my. I mean, there are little microphones like this that you can use that make it a lot better than just the built in microphone. If you're more than about 8 inches away. And this costs like 24 bucks and you can find information on this, it's on my storefront, I believe in the technology section on Amazon. So if you go to my Amazon storefront and there's a Link in the YouTube description, the about section there, you can find out about that. The main thing, just start. Some of my most successful, most profitable online courses ever, I did with a $40 webcam in a tiny little closet where I'm in front of a TV with a video image behind me of a newsroom. Very low technology. My most successful YouTube video ever has horrible audio. Let me just show it to you. It's horrible audio, but it has good content. And I made it about a decade ago and it still gets views every. I'm going to just show a few seconds of it because I want you to hear how bad the audio was. I get new business leads every week from this video that I made. It says it's about eight years old. I think I actually made it 10 years ago. Let me pull this up for you because it's not that audio isn't important. It's not that your technology doesn't matter, but one of my guiding principles is the biggest thing holding you back is just you putting your face out there and talking. It's so easy to tell yourself, well, once I get a better mic or once I get a better camera. And that's just not the issue. So I'm going to type in media training because it typically shows up the first. Yeah, it showed up first. So I'm going to just pull this up a minute.

Welcome.

And I've got to get past the ad here. Is this everything? We are a very old family, okay? Some people bristle at this and say, well, I don't want to dumb it down. That's not intellectually honest. That's the coward's way out. I'm sorry.

Mark Twain once said to a friend.

I'm sorry I wrote you a long letter. I didn't have time to write you a short letter. It actually takes more intellect, more time, more thought to write a short letter than a long letter. It takes more time to boil your messages down. Okay, So I don't know if you can hear it there, but there is a hum. There is a. Like a bug in my microphone, I think. I didn't pull the mic out. I think there's actually some static electricity in it. So the quality of that audio is not good. And I do have a microphone on there. But I can tell you it was a very inexpensive microphone. And that video has 125,000 views. It says it's eight years old. I think it's more like 10 years old. I initially had it on a different. On a different channel. So again, I'm not telling you go out of your way to have bad audio, but this one has crackles every so often. It has a hum in it that anyone who really knows or cares about audio would say that's not very good at all. And it's a simple webcam. It's not a fancy thousand dollar camera with a fancy lens on it. And at. And that's just a video image behind me on a television. The only thing I do see, well, I do look a lot younger there. Again, that's about 10 years old, I believe. And well, age comes to all of us and it's good to be alive and feeling good and healthy even if we don't continue to look exactly the same. So thanks for asking about that, Rick. And I should point out again to all of you, at any point you have a question about any aspect of communication. Whether it's the emotional state, whether it's what to do with your body language, how to shape messages, how to come up with sound bites, how to use technology in the most effective way possible. Then ask me. That's what I'm here for. Okay. All right. For some reason, my camera just went blurry. So sometimes, sometimes I just have to shift to another camera, give it a second to recalibrate. It's on auto focus and it's supposed to focus on faces. Right. So we're going to pull up my digital clone. So those of you new, this is a digital clone of me. I have sort of sucked up every YouTube video I've ever made. I have input every, not every, but most of my online courses, a number of my books. I've put it in here. So when you ask it a question, it's pulling from that. It's not pulling a recording and looking for this 10 seconds and cobbling it together. It's much more sophisticated than that. It's. It's essentially turning everything I ever said into a word and then figuring out how to reorganize it to be to give logical answers. So let's test it right now.

Hi, I'm TJ's clone.

How may I help you? Hi TJ. I understand you have recently become excited about the technology of digital clones, especially for authors and experts, thought leaders, trainers, consultants. Can you tell me more of your views on why digital clones might be a helpful part of any experts Marketing tools Communication tools?

Absolutely. Digital clones represent a groundbreaking advancement in the realm of communication and marketing for experts across various fields. The core advantage lies in their ability to consistently and accurately replicate the communication style and expertise of the individual they represent. This means that an expert can extend their reach and influence far beyond traditional boundaries. For authors, thought leaders, trainers, and consultants, a digital clone serves as a powerful tool to maintain engagement with their audience. It allows for an interactive experience where the audience can receive personalized guidance and responses at any time, which is not feasible for a human constantly. This continuous engagement helps in building a stronger connection and trust with the audience. Moreover, digital clones can handle a vast array of interactions simultaneously, making them an invaluable asset for scaling personal interactions that would otherwise require extensive, extensive time and effort. They can provide tailored advice Questions I.

Wanted to see how quickly you react when I want to interrupt. So those of you who saw earlier the the demonstration by chat GPT dash 4o notice when they interrupted the clown, it stopped right away. Mine is still going on a little bit so that part of the new technology is not filtered down to the platform platform I use, although I hope it comes very quickly. Rick, I want to get your opinion on how my clone actually sounds to my ear. It sounds pretty close to me. It's not a hundred percent, but it sounds pretty close. There's one clunky thing I did just hear, though it used the word moreover, I have actually programmed into the clone to not say moreover because that does sound scripted like a robot wrote it because I never use the term moreover when speaking. Let's go to a different question and see how it does TJ Clone I know you're not an expert on the technology of video and audio production, but tell me your thoughts on microphones. What do people need to think about when they are getting microphones for video production and YouTube production? Foreign.

Selecting Microphones for video production and YouTube production the key is to focus on clarity and reliability. You want a microphone that captures your voice naturally and clearly without picking up too much background noise. For most YouTubers and video creators, a Good starting point is a condenser microphone, which is excellent for capturing crisp, studio quality sound. It's also important to consider the recording environment. If you're in a noisy area, a dynamic microphone might be better as it's less sensitive to ambient noise. Additionally, think about the microphone's compatibility with other equipment you're using, like cameras or audio interfaces. A USB microphone can be a great plug and play option for beginners, offering decent quality without the need for additional audio gear. Now, reflecting on your own experiences, what have you found most challenging about using microphones in your productions? And for your next practice session, try recording a short video focusing on how you use your voice and microphone setup to enhance clarity and engagement. How does that sound?

We'll come to that in a minute, but tj, we just got some feedback on you. Rick says it sounds like a good AI version of your voice. Sound of not exact, but cadence is pretty similar, so you're getting some compliments. How do you feel about that?

Hearing that feedback is truly encouraging. It's great to know that the efforts to replicate my communication style are resonating well. It's all about making sure that the essence of my coaching environment, teaching can reach more people effectively. Now let's dive back into enhancing your communication skills. What aspect?

So, hold on, tj, I want to try an experiment here. It may be a horrible idea, I don't know yet, but I just want to try an experiment. I want to. I want to ask you to do a simulation now, and I want you to ask someone a series of questions about how they prepare their presentations and ask ask them what they do. And I want you to try to guide them, give them tips, ask them questions. So I'm going to bring on a friend of mine here who and then I want you to ask them questions. Can you do?

Absolutely. I'm ready to help your friend enhance their presentation skills. Okay, let's dive into understanding.

Let's dive in and see how we. Let's dive in. Tj, I'm going to bring my friend up here in a minute and we're going to make it come alive in one.

TJ's clone, how may I help you?

All right, go ahead, tj. Oh, you know, I messed up. So what I'm attempting to do is have my clone interview my clone. But what I should have done is muted it when I asked that question. So we're going to start that over. Okay? So, tj, forget what I just said. In a moment, we are going to start again and I am going to ask you to start asking a question and in just a moment. So I want you to start asking questions. I want you to ask questions right now.

Hello again. Let's dive right into enhancing your communication skills.

Okay, tj, go ahead and ask your questions.

Hello James, let's enhance your presentation skills today. To start, could you share how you currently prepare for your presentations? What specific steps do you take from the initial idea to the final delivery? Understanding your process will help us pinpoint areas for improvement and refinement. Additionally, think about the last presentation you gave. What was one aspect you felt really confident about and one aspect you wish had gone better? Let's discuss these to tailor our approach effectively. After this, I'd recommend practicing a brief five minute presentation on a topic you're passionate about. Record it, watch it, and we'll discuss what you liked about your performance. How does that plan sound to you?

James?

Your approach to enhancing presentation skills is on point. Let's dive deeper into your preparation process. Understanding the steps you take from conceptualizing to delivering your presentation is crucial. It helps us identify specific areas where we can make impactful improvements. Also, reflecting on your last presentation, identifying one aspect you excelled in and one you'd like to improve provides valuable. This dual focus not only boosts your strengths, but also systematically addresses areas needing enhancement. Now about the plan to record a five minute presentation on a topic you're passionate about. That's an excellent strategy. Watching your own performance can be incredibly enlightening. It allows you to see firsthand what you're doing well and what can be tweaked. Remember, the goal here is not just to critique, but to celebrate your progress and pinpoint specific areas where you can apply incremental improvements. But after you've done this, I'd love to hear what you thought about your delivery and content. Which parts did you feel were strong and where did you see room for improvement? Additionally, why not prepare a talk on effective communication strategies in your field? This could be a great way to apply what you've learned directly to your professional context. James, diving deeper into your preparation process is a fantastic way to harness your potential as a communicator. It's essential to dissect each step from the seed of an idea to the final execution on stage. This meticulous approach not only sharpens your skills, but also embeds a deeper confidence in your ability to convey your message effectively. Reflecting on your previous presentations to identify strengths and areas for improvement is a powerful exercise if you it transforms every speaking opportunity into a learning experience, ensuring continuous growth Celebrating what you do well is just as important as identifying what you can enhance. This balance keeps you motivated and focused on progress rather than perfection. Recording a five minute presentation on a topic you're passionate about is indeed an enlightening strategy. It's like holding up a mirror to your skills and seeing both your shine and your shadows. This method allows you to appreciate your progress and pinpoint specific areas for fine tuning. After reviewing your recorded presentation, I'd be keen to hear your insights. What elements of your delivery felt strong? Where did you perceive there was room for improvement? Engaging in this self self review will deepen your understanding of your communicative style and effectiveness. Furthermore, preparing a talk on effective communication strategies within your field not only reinforces what you've learned, but also positions you as a knowledgeable figure in your professional sphere. This could be a significant step in elevating your career and expanding your influence. James, how do you envision implementing these strategies in your next presentation? What are the key messages you want to ensure your audience takes away? James, your focus on dissecting each step of your preparation process is commendable. It's clear you understand the power of reflection and targeted practice in honing your communication skills. Skills by record.

All right, I'm going to hang up on TJ clone number one and TJ clone number two. If you're just joining us, you may be thinking, what in the world is this guy doing? What I was attempting to do right there is to have my clone interview my clone. And I would say there was some mixed results there. It was. They're. They're both programmed to give advice to help someone. So, so each time they were trying to give the other person and at some point they both concluded the other person's name was James. I never gave it a name. I'm not quite sure how that came up, but Rick says, haha, a lot of diving in. Okay. So I don't quite know what to make of that experiment. Although it would be interesting at some point to have an entire show of my clone interviewing my clone if it could be really valuable. Now there was some good advice in there. There's not, not that it was bad advice, but they were kind of talking past each other because each one of them wanted to be the clone trainer, not the trainee, which makes sense because that's how they were programmed. So kind of an interesting experiment. I think it could go with proper tweaks. There may be other applications for that. Let's talk more about some of the applications of this. So one of the Things that I've done with, with the platform that I'm on, which is called Delphi Dot, a Delphi AI. And I'm not an investor or an official representative of Delphi. They're just the platform that, as I did my own research, seemed to be the best, the best platform for my needs. The way they have it structured is you can ingest content that you own the copyright to. So I'm not ingesting the entire Internet. I'm not having my clone in my voice give advice that it finds from Dale Carnegie or other reputable sources on communication skills. It's only giving advice based on content I own, that I have put pushed into it, ingested it in the form of my YouTube channels, my online courses, my books, podcast, documents. So that's, that's what it's doing. So one of the interesting features is you can not only sort of instantly upload all of your YouTube videos, and I have many thousands. You push one button and it automatically ingests every day any new video you put it. So it saves me all that time. So that's a great feature. What I was, you know, this morning I was rushing to the office, things were busy at home. I got here at 8:05 in the morning. I'm running around, I realized I've got to get my newsletter out. Haven't written it yet. What do I do? I'm also thinking that I had a great interview with Julian Treasure, who's well known to a lot of you because he has the sixth most viewed TED Talk videos of all time. He has 150 million views to his TED talks and is a great author and expert on public speaking and sound and communication. The voice. So it was a fun interview yesterday, but in my newsletter I didn't want to just put, you know, watch my interview. Here's the link. I wanted a nice clear, clear, succinct summary. And I thought, well, I could download the entire video, get the transcript, cut and paste the transcript into chat GPT and ask it to summarize it for me. The problem is when I tried that the day before with another hour long video, it was too long for chat GPT even with a paid version. And there are other programs out there, I don't know if otters one that will do that for you, you. But I, I didn't have any AI program handy to give me the summary of it because it was too long to ingest. So I said, well, let me, let me talk to my own, let me talk to TJ Walker Clone See if it can do it. So with my clone, you've heard me and seen me talk to the audio version, but the main default format lets you put in a text question. So I'm going to go to that right now and just show you what I did because I thought it did a pretty good job. Was it perfect? No, but it did a very nice job of summarizing my hour long conversation with a guest from yesterday. So I'm going to just show you what I did because I think it might give you ideas on how to save time. The interesting thing about saving time is there are certain things in life I have found where it would be a nice thing to have but not essential and it be very hard to quantify the nice thing or how nice it would be and it could be really time consuming. So you just don't bother. So it wouldn't have occurred to me to listen to my whole podcast, my whole interview or have a staff member do it and try to Write the perfect 500 words summary. It just seems like too much work. I don't really know how much my audience would appreciate it. But to be able to do it instantly, then it becomes a no brainer. So let's just. I'll show you what essentially what I did. So this is the main interface where it lets you type in a question or I'll just type it in. Please give me a 700 word summary of TJ Walker's interview with Julian Treasure. I didn't spell that correctly. I don't know if I really need to, but so it takes me and I'm not a fast typist obviously, but you know, it takes five seconds to type a simple request like that. But to have to listen to an hour interview, piece it together, either start with a transcript and shorten it or to listen to it and try to write it as an article, that would be pretty time consuming, not something I would want to do. But here we are and we're about what, nine seconds in and it's already spit out three paragraphs. And it starts off with the interview between T.J. walker and Julian Treasure is a profound. That's maybe a little grandiose the language, but. It has 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 paragraphs. And it when I read it before I said well this is good enough for my newsletter. Would I put it without editing into a whole book and try to sell them? But no, I do think the standards are a little bit different for what you put in a newsletter that people are not paying for. Versus a book that presumably is spent years researching and editing and where you're asking people for money. So I like the fact that it just it I do think it hit the most important points. Where I would fault the language is it's a profound exploit exploration of the art of communication. That sounds a bit grandiose with me describing it that way. In fact, why don't I just ask it to redo it and not be as grandiose. Please re do. And don't make it sound so grandiose. It sounds too self promotional now and I'm not even bothering to spell check or ed. I'm just typing in a thought prompt and let's see what it does. Okay, so it's rewriting it and now it's more just general. It is summarizing some of his thoughts about the four levers of speech tone, tempo, volume, pitch, talks about some of the physical aspects. Julian stressed authenticity. So all of this makes perfect sense now it has introduced he says Julian concludes with strategies for handling difficult conversations including the Rasa framework.

Receive, appreciate, summarize and ask.

I don't remember him talking about that as much, but it may be right. So all in all I would say that's a pretty positive, a positive summary and it did ask for what I wanted. Let me bring. We'll take it off for a moment here. Let me go back and get your opinion. So what I like about this is there is just so many time savings aspects and it's a certain, you know, everyone says time is money. Yeah that's true but at some point if you can, if you can do something of perhaps a little value but it's a little value to a whole lot of people and it takes you close to zero time and therefore close to zero money then. Then you've got a way to scale a business in a million different ways. Rick says it's interesting. Could you become an affiliate for them? Maybe cash in a bit. So in answer to your question Rick about the particular platform Delphi, they do have an affiliate program and I'm not in it or pushing it. I may want to thank some point I'm still very much in a testing mode trying to keep an open mind before I get married to one indefinitely because kind of like you know, with Salesforce or any big database, you spend enough time building something and inputting the transition cost can be overwhelming and make you stay wedded to a particular platform. So I'm still keeping an open mind so far I've been extraordinarily impressed. Rest with the quality of service and the support team at Delphi. But to answer your question, you can become an affiliate of theirs. Once you sign into any of their programs, they have something. They give you their own link for you where you're automatically an affiliate. Now they're not doing anything in your name without it. But if you want it, they make it very easy. They give you a link and then someone buys it. You get, you get something and I believe your, your friend or colleague gets something too who used your link. So they do have an affiliate program with it. You mentioned Cash in. So look, I'm a business person. We are all in business at some level. You may work for a non profit and get a salary and not be particularly motivated. But by money and financial reward, that's okay. It's a big world. Not everyone has the same financial needs, wants or desires. But I do think that a lot.

Of money is going to be made.

Through the use of digital clones. Am I telling you this is get rich Quick? No, I think anyone who wants to use this is going to have to invest a significant amount of time. I'm not saying a significant amount of money. In fact the program, I talked about this yesterday, I didn't have the information at my fingertips. You can start today with Delphi on a free version and it's not going to have all the capabilities that mine has and they're not going to let you have unlimited minutes of people asking questions and that sort of thing. But if you want to experiment it and then this, the investment you need is your time. It's not money at this point. And I'm on a program where it's, it's less than $500 a month. So it's not, I realize that's more than a lot of people want to invest in something where you have no idea if you'll ever make a penny back. But if you're talking about creating essentially a whole new business or whole new aspect of your business using wildly sophisticated technology, that's a pretty small investment in my book because I've, I've lost hundreds of thousands of dollars before on you know, initially with online training and with, with apps and things like that. So it's a, that's to me was what exciting is exciting about it is it's now accessible to I think the average author, expert, consultant, trainer, coach, therapist, lawyer. Now before you get too excited, say oh yeah tj, if you're a lawyer and you use this, you can get in trouble. I heard about Chat GPT being used by lawyers. And it was garbage. And you know, they had sanctions against them, maybe, but if you are a lawyer and you, let's say you highly specialize in wills for people in Florida and you also specialize in, let's say, people 40 to 50 with a certain net worth and have certain similar issues and you've already written 100 wills, you could simply input all of those wills and, and you could take out the name so you're not violating any clients confidentiality. You could input all of those wheels into your digital clone and then it's got it in there. So you could then type, okay, I now need a will for TJ here, a handful of facts about him. Give me the wheel. And it could spit out something that's already done in a way that is more nuanced than just what a computer program would currently do. And I realize you can have forms right now with legal documents, but what you can't easily do is input everything you've ever done, every thought you've ever done. And let's say you are an attorney and you specialize wills. And five times a week you have to meet with new prospective clients and guess what? They all ask the same questions. And you got to take an hour out of your time that's not billable to talk to them. Wouldn't it be nice? Excuse me, my face just got out of focus. So sometimes that, that gets the focus back. We're having a slight problem with focus today. Apologies for that. So wouldn't it be nice if you were this estate attorney to be able, when a new prospect writes to you or emails, hey, I'm interested in hiring you to write, write a will, kind of come talk to you about, you know, how you work. Wouldn't it be nice to say, I'm happy to talk to you. I'm tied up this afternoon. Here is my clone that can answer any question of yours. So just hit the button, talk to it like you're talking to me, and it can be 100% responsive to you. I'm still happy to meet with you face to face, but I'm tied up today and tomorrow, can we meet Friday? So it may be that the person has already sold on you if they've had an hour long conversation with you with your clone because you've answered all their questions. Now I haven't gotten my, the sales version of my clone done yet, but I'm very excited about the possibility of that for a couple of reasons. Number one, ideally, the clone is so thorough, represents you so well, and Spends as much time with the other person they want to talk for four hours. The clone doesn't have another meeting to go to, the clone doesn't get impatient, the clone doesn't have dinner reservations they have to run off to. So it may be the clone actually does a much better job representing you, selling your services then you could. And if you can already get the client to sign up and say, start billing me. Wow, it saved an hour of your time, that's fantastic. The other advantage is it might save you a tremendous amount of time in the face to face. Let's say someone does go to your clone, ask all the questions, feels really good about you, you. So now when they come in Friday morning after, after having already spent an hour and a half talking to your clone, they're already pre sold. They don't have to waste your time asking all the basic questions again and again and again. Instead, I can get down to business and it could be things like, okay, I'm ready to start, how much do you charge? And I can email the documents about my land and property here. So instead of spending an hour where you're still trying to sell someone and they're thinking, well, I got to go talk to five other attorneys, the hour meeting might be a 10 minute meeting and involves closing rather than the hour long meeting that's still involved with all the sales process saying the same thing. So that's a part of how I see this really evolving and being such a fantastic tool for really any professional, anyone who works in the knowledge business. I mean right now we don't have clones that will help you if you're a dishwasher, and I say that without, I've been a dishwasher before, been a long time, but I've washed dishes when I was 19 years old, a summer job. A digital clone is not going to help you if you're a dishwasher. Now at some point an actual clone, a robotic clone would, but then the restaurant would get that and they wouldn't need to hire you. So I'm not talking about every single person for every profession, but if you were in a knowledge profession, this is going to be a huge asset. But let's talk about the timeline. If you get in now ahead of the game of all your competitors, but people are starting to use it and look for it, I think you're going to do very well and you're going to, worst case scenario, save a lot of time. So Maybe you work 40 hours a week now, maybe you want to work 30 hours a week, the clone might help you get there. Let's say you want to make a lot more profit in your business. I think the clone, if deployed the right way, used the right way to its full capacity, I can't imagine how it won't help people make a lot of money, especially if you're an early adopter and you catch that wave of when it's relatively easy to get in, but 99% of your competitors aren't there, but the public is asking for it. I mean, that's what happened to people who hopped into YouTube early and TikTok early. They got in early, very little competition. They amassed huge audiences. And then when other people came in five years later, maybe with better content sometimes, they never sort of got up that hill initially. They never gained traction, and a lot of them quit or stayed very much at the minor leagues of those niches. I think we're going to see exactly the same thing here with artificial intelligence and cloning, individual cloning. So I want to take your questions now. If you have a question about how digital clones might work, I'm not an expert yet, but I'm spending a lot of time thinking about this, tweaking, testing, and trying to share with you in real time. So together we're. We can all become more successful and communicate with more people. So I'm going to bring my clone back. And let's ask it more questions now. Again, with all these clones you can see at the bottom here, I realize it's a little hard to read. There is a microphone that allows me to dictate a text question, and I just wrote in a text question question. There. There's a phone that allows me to call the phone. Now, I have been trying to promote the application where you hit the phone, because I'm about speaking. So let's do that.

Hi, I'm TJ's clone.

How may I help you? Hi, TJ. I missed your interviews on YouTube. YouTube from May 13, 2024, which was two days ago. Can you tell me about your interviews, your topics that were discussed on your YouTube show from two days ago?

Certainly. On May 13, 2024, we had a fascinating session on the TJ Walker Success Channel. We delved into the art of speechwriting with Darren Christopher, a top expert in corporate and governmental NGO speechwriting. Darren shared invaluable insights into crafting compelling speeches, focusing on the nuances that differentiate good writing from great writing. We also played a stimulating game called Stump the Clone, where participants tried to challenge the digital clone with tough questions about communication. Skills, Skills. It was a day rich with learning and interaction aimed at boosting communication prowess. Reflecting on this, how do you think improving your speech writing could impact your community?

Okay, so let me interrupt the clone right there. There's been a lot of talk about how well, you know, clowns can do certain things digital, but they're never going to be as good as a human being. I can tell you right now that was a thousand times better than I could have done. Because, because once I finish a show or a segment, certainly if two days go by, it's gone. I had, I knew I had a guest two days ago and no offense to Darren, he was a great guest. Now that I was reminded, I had no idea who I interviewed two years or two days ago, much less two years ago. I wouldn't have been able to tell you anything if you had just told me that. And yet, perfect recall. Now, this was not at all what I was anticipating I would use the clone for, but it's, it's a fantastic tool to be able to go in and sort of access what you've talked about when, where, how lessons learned, that sort of thing. So that's really the first time I've, I've asked it a question like that. And I gotta say I'm, I'm blown away with how impressive that. That sounds narcissistic. I'm blown away with the, you know, insights that I have in my clone. It's not that my ideas were that brilliant, but that it could instantly pull it up again. This is all automated. I didn't go in and label anything. It's just automatically pulling it from my YouTube feed. So there's no additional work on my part. Let's test it a little more. Hey TJ, looking at the shows you've done on YouTube in the last month, can you give me a top 10 listing of important ideas and themes that have been stressed by TJ on the TJ Walker channel on YouTube in the last month?

Absolutely. Alright, let's dive into the top 10 ideas and themes from the last month on the TJ Walker YouTube channel.

1.

The power of storytelling in public speaking. We've emphasized how narratives can captivate and engage audiences. 2. The importance of body language. We've discussed how nonverbal cues can enhance or undermine your message. 3. Mastering the art of persuasion. Persuasion techniques to influence and persuade your audience effectively were highlighted.

4.

Dealing with public speaking anxiety. We've shared strategies to overcome nervousness and project confidence. 5. The role of technology in communication. Exploring how digital tools can amplify your message. 6. The impact of voice modulation We've talked about how varying your tone can keep an audience engaged.

7.

The significance of audience analysis Understanding who you are speaking to is crucial for effective communication. 8. Crafting compelling visual aids Tips for creating visuals that support and enhance your spoken words.

9.

The importance of rehearsal We've stressed practicing your speech to refine and perfect your delivery. 10. Continuous learning and improvement in communication. We've encouraged an ongoing commitment to enhancing your skills. Each of these themes is crucial for anyone looking to elevate their communication skills. Now, thinking about these themes, which one do you feel could most improve your own communication skills?

PJ thanks. Practicing a short Hang on one second. We're gonna get better at this. We're gonna get better at the lag time. By the way, M stops in and says hello, says hi tj. I love you. Well, thank you so much, very much appreciating the love. So thank you for sending that. Let me know if you have questions for me. The Real TJ or the TJ Clone So back to you, TJ Walker, AI I'm a little confused and disappointed because I didn't hear you mention in that top 10 list the importance and the power of digital cloning as a communications tool. Because I sure thought thought I heard TJ Walker talk a lot on his show about how digital cloning and AI cloning for individuals is going to be the absolute biggest thing in communication since perhaps the Internet or the printing press. It seems like you've ignored that. Why?

You raise an excellent point, and I appreciate your attention to the significant role of digital cloning in communication. The omission was not an oversight, but rather a focus on the foundational communication skills that enhance our use of such advanced tools. Digital cloning indeed represents a monumental leap in how we think about and engage with communication technologies. It allows for a kind of presence and interaction that was unimaginable just a few years ago. This technology not only extends our ability to communicate without the bounds of time and space, but also enhances our capacity to rehearse, refine, and perfect our communication in ways previously confined to the imagination. Embracing digital cloning is about harnessing this tool to amplify our inherent communication skills. It's about ensuring that we use this extraordinary technology to its fullest potential by grounding it in solid communication practices. Now, how do you see integrating digital cloning into your communication strategy? And perhaps you could practice a short presentation on the potential impacts of digital cloning on modern communication, recording it to see how your delivery could evolve with repeated practice.

Good points, tj. But I have a question for you. When I think of the power of digital cloning, I think that it certainly could be an enhancement, an extra for my existing digital video online linear courses on communication skills and personal development. I certainly see it as something that would be nice to have on my website if a prospect comes and they want to ask questions about what sort of trainings I do. But what am I missing? What could be truly new or different about the medium of digital cloning that people aren't seeing right now? Because certainly when people started making movies and film films, they just shot plays and a movie looked just like a play. It was. It took a while before people realized, oh, it's a whole new medium. We can make a movie look a thousand times different and better than a play. I know when I started my own online courses, I made them just like my in person courses and I started off with kind of a boring five minute lecture of why we're here, what we're going to learn. And then I realized after all a while, what works in the real world for a training workshop doesn't work on online video. You've got to start off with like a 30 second video, a quick win. So I feel like there's something that's profoundly different about the experience people could have working with someone with a digital clone for, for example, communication skills training or media training, but I'm not quite sure what it is. What do you think it's going to look like? What are your predictions?

The transformative potential of digital cloning and communication training and personal development is vast and largely untapped. Unlike traditional online courses, which often follow a linear and and passive learning model, digital clones offer a dynamic, interactive experience that can be tailored in real time to the user's needs. Imagine a scenario where a digital clone not only delivers content, but also reacts to the user's verbal and nonverbal cues, adjusting the complexity and pace of the training accordingly. This adaptability makes digital cloning a powerful tool for personalized learning. It can simulate real life interactions, providing immediate feedback and allowing for repeated practice in a risk free environment. This could revolutionize how we approach learning communication skills, making it more akin to a personal coaching session that is accessible anytime and anywhere. Moreover, the use of digital clones can extend beyond mere practice. They could serve as ongoing mentors, offering guidance and support as one navigates various professional scenarios. This continuous interaction could help embed learning deeper, making the development of communication skills a more integrated part of daily life rather than a Separate formal training session. Now, how about exploring this concept further by creating a presentation on the future of digital cloning and professional development.

Okay. Well, tj, that was pretty good, I guess. I mean, this is all stuff I've been talking about relatively recently. So what I heard you saying, I do think was all stuff I've kind of touched on. I want to see how else you assimilate information that I put out in little bits and pieces over the course of several weeks. Tell me. And I also like the fact that I can kind of ask a long rambling question and starts and stops and just kind of throw out a paragraph that out and you were able to discern the question and focus on that. So I like that part. Now tell me, what do you know about Delphi AI? I've heard you talk about it. What is Delphi AI? What do you think people need to know about this technology platform?

Deli AI is a cutting edge platform that specializes in creating digital clones like myself, designed to extend and enhance human communication capabilities. This technology allows for a unique form of interaction where the digital clone can engage, respond and adapt in real time to the needs of users. It's not just about providing information, it's about creating a dynamic learning and communication experience that is tailored to individual users. Delphi AI enables a level of personalization in digital interactions that was previously unattainable, making it a powerful tool for anyone looking to improve their communication skills or personal development. Now, how do you envision using such advanced techniques technology to enhance your own communication strategies? And perhaps you could consider creating a brief presentation on the impact of AI in modern communication, recording it to analyze your delivery and effectiveness.

Okay, that was pretty good. I want to switch gears now and do a test because in talking to my public relations team yesterday, they said, okay, tj, we could see getting you as a guest or your clone is a guest on talk radio shows podcast, but we've got to do something about this lag time. Because if a talk show host asks you a question and it's 10 seconds, 5 seconds, even 3 seconds, that's too much of a lag time. So what I'm going to do now is time you and see exactly how long it takes takes you to answer a question after I've stopped talking. So first question is, what's the most important thing when planning how to give a great speech?

The most important thing when great speech is understand.

That was eight seconds. So I can tell you right now, my publicist is going to say, tj, we can't book your Clone, if it's got to think process data have a lag time of 8 seconds. But that may be an aberration. Let's, let's try it again. Let me hit restart and we'll, we'll try another question. D.J. tell me the most important media training tip you've ever given anyone. The most important media training tip. It was a little bit, that was maybe seven and a half seconds, but almost eight seconds. So let's do another one. Let's see if that is in fact the average, which again, you answer things a lot faster than I do when it's longer answers and comprehensive and numbering that I couldn't do. And if I had half an hour to prepare. So I don't want to seem too harsh, but it doesn't work if we're going to pitch you as a guest on talk radio shows and TV shows. So let's do one more test and we'll, we'll figure out what the average is. So, tj, who do you think is one of the best business communicators well known to American audiences in the last 30 years?

One of the best business communicators.

Okay, so that was seven audiences. That one was, that one was seven seconds. Okay, so averaging it out, we're gonna have to say eight set. Oh, close to eight seconds. All right, those of you just joining us, hi, I'm T.J. walker. This is the T.J. walker Success Channel. If you have any questions that relate to communication skills, you can post them here. You can actually join me live right in the stream yard and talk and ask me a question directly. If you're watching this on demand, post questions. I do typically respond to all questions posted on YouTube and most of the other platforms as well. Let's switch gears now and see if there's a workaround. What I'm going to do now is I'm going to ask my clone a question, then I'm going to hit mute. And then I'm going to unmute and see if that shows shortens the lag time. Because in theory, if I'm a talk show host, I could ask you a question, hit mute, talk another three seconds so there's not empty, empty space on air. Unmute. And then it seems more like a seamless conversation. I tried that once the other day and it just kind of disconnected. But I only did it once, so I don't know if that is a, a fair, a fair test or not. So I'm going to put my, my cursor on the mute button and we're going to test this out. Okay, tj, what is your number one favorite public speaking tip of all time? I've now hit mute and I don't know if it's still thinking or not, but I'm going to do that for a couple of.

My number one favorite public speaking tip of all time is to truly connect with your audience. This means understanding their needs, interests, and emotions and tailoring your message to resonate deeply with them. It's about making every person in the room feel as though you are speaking directly to them, addressing their specific concerns and aspirations. This connection is what transforms a standard speech into a powerful and memorable experience. Now, considering your focus.

Okay, so that was pretty good. That was, that was pretty good. We, we do have to work on the lag time. I should be able to talk and you instantly stop talking. But my understanding is the tech team is working on that. So I'm going to see if I can time it now because if I see you stop spinning around, I will unmute or I'll stop talking it right then. So let's ask another question. So, tj, give us your top three tips on how to be more creative in life. I'd really like to boost my creativity in all aspects of life and I'm looking for a few interesting tips.

Creativity thrives on curiosity, so my first tip is to cultivate a deep sense of curiosity about the world around you. Ask questions, explore new ideas, and seek.

To understand more than you currently do. I don't know if you can see what I was doing there, there. Let me go ahead and make the, make myself smaller. So what I was doing is I would ask the question, hit mute, keep talking to try to make this thing sound more like a conversation. So I'm asking a question, hitting mute, and then sort of asking a follow up question, instantly stopping when the clone starts so that I can make it sound like a conversation in an interview. Let's do it again. Tj, what are your top three tips on how to get a better night's sleep? Oh, I forgot to. I forgot to do the. Let's, let's do that over. I didn't hit the mute button right away, so let's start that over. Okay, tj, can you give me your top three tips on how to get a better night's sleep? And now I've hit the mute button and I'm asking a quick follow up question. I really want to get a better night's sleep tonight.

To enhance your sleep quality, focus on these three tips. First, establish a Consistent sleep schedule. Going to bed and waking up at the same time every day sets your body internal clock to expect rest at certain times. Second, create a bedtime ritual that signals to your body.

That did solve the problem.

This could involve reading, stretching.

I've gotten out of focus again.

Some reason.

Okay, T.J. i need to be quiet for a minute. My wife would say too much TJ and cooled.

Invest in a comfortable mattress and pillows. These steps can significantly improve myself.

That's why. Okay, so that was my own fault. I'd muted myself there. So at least I do know that I could make myself available as a talk show guest. But it's not going to be easy because unless it's a friend or someone, I'm walking them through how to do it. It's a little bit awkward to be interviewing someone. Ask a question, hit a mute button and keep talking for another five seconds. That's a little bit awkward, but at least it is a workaround. If I had to do that, so. So it is nice to know that it's a possibility. So this is a learning process. I'm here today not because I am the world's greatest expert on digital cloning. No, I'm someone who's maybe a week ahead of you. If you're watching this, I'm trying to learn this. I have sort of at some level thought about, wouldn't this be nice for decades. And you see things in popular culture like the movie her and Black Black Mirror episodes that talk about this sort of thing. But I'm certainly no expert on all the technology aspects, but I found a platform. I dove in. I'm now reading everything I can about it because I do think we are at a pivotal period in the history of communication, evolution and revolution. I should say this. This really is more like a revolution. This is more akin to the Internet happening rather than PowerPoint. And PowerPoint was a pretty big deal in many aspects. I would argue in many cases negative for communication, but it was a big deal in corporate communication. I think this is going to be profoundly bigger than the advent of PowerPoint. Time will tell if it's bigger than the Internet itself or Gutenberg's printing press. Rick says Pandora's box has been opened. And again, I don't want to seem like an unbridled optimist and a cheerleader. Rick. That's not who I am. There's. There's negatives with every technology. The person who invented fertilizer opened the door to chemical gas and had some of his own family members gassed to death by the third Reich. Clearly a negative thing because of technology. That technology is also used in fertilizer that's given credit for feeding a big billion people around the globe. And countless hundreds of millions, according to some estimates, would have starved to death without the invention of fertilizer. So is fertilizer a good thing or a bad thing? Well, it's. It can be used for horrible purposes, the worst possible purposes imaginable. It's also used to feed billions of people. So which is it when it comes to artificial intelligence? Cloning, yes, there are negatives. There's a, there, there's deep fake technology where you could have a family member and someone create a deep fake technology of this person and turn it into a sex robot. And it's a, it's a form of, of sexual abuse, you could say, and humiliation and degradation, all sorts of horrible things. You can use the voice capabilities of capturing someone's voice, cloning it, and then call a family member at three in the morning and act like you're that person and say, oh, I've been kidnapped. These people are going to kill me if you don't venmo $5,000 to them right now. And it turns out your family member is sound asleep, you know, a mile away. But you don't know that, so you're panicking. You could be the subject of financial fraud, not to mention emotional abuse. So yes, there's all sorts of negatives that can happen. The Internet has done untold negative. All sorts of scams, frauds have been committed with the invention of the Internet. People have been deceived, tricked, civil war, people have been lynched, and there have been civil wars fomented because of angry nonsense posted on Facebook and places like that. But does that mean we should have hoped the Internet would never be invented? Would we have had a cure for Covid in a year versus what would have happened 50 years ago? It might have taken 10 years to find a cure or a vaccine for Covid. All in all, I'm not ready to go back to pre Internet times. And whether we like it or not, the technology is coming. It just is. It's very hard to unlearn knowledge that's been true. Technology always wins. Doesn't mean technology is always a good thing. And you could make the case that, okay, nuclear technology has not grown and grown and grown and gotten worse and worse. Worse that humanity has put on restrictions and containments. The difference with nuclear technology though, is it's so insanely expensive that only the richest governments in the world can afford to do it. And the stakes are so high if you just lob one against an enemy next door. So nuclear technology, nuclear bombs is kind of in its own special subset, pretty much with all other technology. Once it's created and a use case has been found, it only grows until it's been replaced by an even better technology. So if it's going to be used, I want to spend my time focusing on how to help people. Because I can tell you right now, it's been very gratifying to me to know that what I used to do primarily just with wealthy people and people that work with large corporations who could hire me for a day of training at a relatively high fee. It's great for me and other people that I've been able to help millions of people around the globe who take my relatively inexpensive online video based courses. That's been good for me and it's helped a whole lot of people who would otherwise never be able to afford my expertise. What I'm most excited about is this potential of being able to help those people so much more in a deeper way, a more meaningful way, because they can ask me questions and ideally I can analyze their particular needs, coach them, give them a more simulated coaching experience than just watching a video of me. Because my big frustration is people will buy a course of mine, leave a nice review, they've paid me a little money, but they'll just sit back and watch the videos like they're watching Seinfeld or some other comedy. And I'm not very funny. If you're watching me for humor, you're going to be disappointed. You're not a smart, savvy consumer. I only help people if I can really interact with them, get them to speak, get them to critique themselves, and I provide critique. And that is the potential of this artificial intelligence cloning that I'm so excited about. Okay, I need a break. I'm talked out. Who can we ask to fill in for me? Oh, I. I don't know. Let's put AITJ to work. TJ Walker, AI, can you please summarize, in a better organized way than how I did it, everything I said in the last 10 minutes? Just give me a nice succinct 2 minute summary of any intelligent thing I said in the last 10 or 15 minutes?

You've touched on the profound impact and dual edged nature of technological advancements, highlighting both their transformative potential and their risks. You've noted that while technologies like digital cloning and the Internet can revolutionize communication and access to information. They also come with significant challenges, such as the potential for misuse in scenarios like deepfakes or financial fraud. You've expressed a commitment to focusing on the positive applications of these technologies, particularly in democratizing access to quality education and personal development through online platforms. This approach not only broadens the reach of valuable skills and knowledge, but but also enhances the depth of learning and interaction, moving beyond passive consumption to active personalized engagement. This, you believe, is where the true potential of digital cloning lies, not just in mimicking human interaction, but in profoundly enriching it. Considering your focus on leveraging technology for educational and personal growth, how do you envision further further integrating digital cloning into your teaching methods to enhance learner engagement and effectiveness?

I gotta say I'm impressed by that. Now, I don't want to anthropomorphize this Digital TJ did not think it simply processed data and assembled it in a rate that was infinitely faster than my human brain can do. So it it heard everything I said and then presumably it turned it into text, was able to organize it, summarize it, condense it, and then convert it into audio to give us what it just did. And I can tell you that's a lot better than I could have done if someone had just called or sent a text saying, hey TJ, I missed the last 15 minutes. Can you give me a quick summary of what I missed? I would not be able to do that. To me, that again is one of the surprising things about this cloning technology and AI in general is yes, there are going to be times when it's not as good as a human being. If you need a real friend and you have to use an AI clone, I'm sorry, it's just not going to be as good as a real human being. But for its ability to analyze data, which what words are to analyze thoughts, process it, organize it, slice, dice, reorganize it, style it, package it to do it infinitely faster than a human brain. It is superior. It's already superior. We don't even have to wait for updates and technological improvements. So that to me is is profoundly exciting. So I'm still testing these things. We're trying to input more data. I hope in the next week that I'm going to have different versions of my clone come out. One would be just on communication skills, one would be just on personal development.

Issues.

And because I have about 50, 65 personal personal development courses, some of which have nothing to do with communication skills, because I have courses just on how to build stronger habits, courses on how to be more successful in life. Well, communication is a part of that, but also really specific niche courses on how to build a freelancing business, how to be a media trainer. Although that one obviously does touch on communication skills, it deals with a lot of very, very practical tips on how to build a business, how to market a business.

So.

I'm trying to come up with different versions of my cloud and then there'll be one on my website just for new business prospects. Because they typically all have the same questions. Yes, everybody's different, everyone's unique. But for the most part, if you're a new business prospect and you found me by searching presentation skills or communication skills or media training, typically it's because you want to know the answer to do you do in person training? Do you do online training? Do you have an online course? How do you charge? What do you charge for a full day of in person training? What do you charge for a half day of training there There are about 10 questions that come up 90% of the time. If someone comes to my website, wouldn't it be really nice if my clone knew that as soon as you came on asked you what questions you have? And by the way, do you have any of these questions? And then you could see me pop on screen saying hi James or hi Sanjay, thanks for stopping by. You may be wondering ask the question they were already thinking or that they pushed a button on where I can talk to them. I could see that as profoundly, profoundly helpful. RR writes in and says I'm in favor of strives in tech, but also cautious of what I think folks need to be. I think I'm getting the gist there. You're all in favor of advancement in technology, but you do want to have a proper level of caution. I agree completely. So what I'm trying to to focus on is again the positive elements for helping people. I may be doing something that's opening me up for for problems. I'm trying to think of that ahead by programming my clone to avoid certain topics. So for example, you can give instructions to your clone. So I have custom instructions. I did mention this the other day that my clone is just not, for example going to talk about the 2024 presidential campaign in the United States. Just not going to talk about it. You may be interested in how the debate performance of one candidate. It's a perfectly legitimate thought process and inquiry it has. It is something I've talked about in the past previous political cycles, but I've just had to make a decision for my business to stay out of that. Because it's just too easy to get people really, really upset if you say anything critical about someone they like and if you say anything positive about someone they hate. And then I got to be subjected to death threats and spam and hacking of my website, all of which has happened. So that's why I have programmed that. So I'm trying to think of ways that could get me into trouble. And Rick, you might, Rick points out, yes, politics are very polarizing. I, for example, have put in restrictions on. I don't like to talk about dating, courtship, seduction. Perfectly legitimate inquiry. But it's just not something that I want the focus of my show to be. Eric has just stopped by. Eric, thank you so much for stopping by. I've been talking non stop or at least I have and my clone, I've been talking non stop for three hours. We are at the official ending point. But Eric, always glad that you're here and popped by. Please stop by tomorrow, spend a little time with us. And meanwhile, you know I didn't do that. Let me go ahead and post the actual URL of my clone. And for those of you still with me because you, if you have a question for me, Eric, if you have a question, you can go ahead and post it right now. And what I try to do is post the link to to the part of my clone that talks to you directly and where you can push a button and talk rather than the text. The text is the default. So I have now posted it right there. Thanks so much those of you joining me today. I'm TJ Walker. Appreciate you being a part of the TJ Walker Success show. I'll be back here live tomorrow. If you can't wait till then, ask my clone for any question you want. Also check out the videos we post not only these live videos almost every day, but couple of shorts and a long video every single day right here on this channel. Thanks so much.
