Jordi Van Den Bussche, aka Kwebbelkop, opens up about his new video that uses an AI model to reproduce his physical presence. But will fans still watch an AI clone?

    Ive never even heard of him before… lol

    I assume his target audience is ipad-equipped kids under 15?

    In that case an ai generated video would probably gain the same viewership…

    So instead of barely “working” for a living, he wants to not at all work for a living.

    Hey, if he can make ad revenue off idiots who are willing to consume his drek, good for him.

    Yeah, well, low-effort copy&paste “journalism” is the easiest “job” to replace with AI. Thanks for proving that point, random YouTuber.

      He has 15 million subs on youtube (his last video to reach 1 million views was 4 months ago). He made an AI that cloned his voice (it’s not 100% accurate) and makes an AI vtuber-like cartoon webcam of himself? It’s very bad. Using the Return Youtube Dislike plugin, the video has 1.5k likes and 13k dislikes.

      He says he has a waitlist of 500 influencer friends that want to try this AI of his, but he’s not giving them access “until the cost of creating new videos drops to an economical level”.

    It’s horribly disrespectful of your audience to think they would accept such a garbage imitation.

    I guess we’ll have to raise an entire generation on nothing but garbage so they won’t know any better.

    I’m sure plenty of people would if they were still compensated for their work.
