👾 Do TikTok's New AI Avatars Help or Hurt Creators? TikTok has just launched Symphony Digital Avatars, AI-generated Avatars of real people that can be used in TikTok videos. These come in a selection of either Stock Avatars or Custom Avatars that represent the likeness of a given creator. One benefit from this is that it allows creators to scale their content more automatically, theoretically cutting down on their cost and time spent creating content. This extends to language translation - the ability for a creator to automatically dub their voice for several markets. Small businesses would also benefit from using these AI Avatars as a low-cost way to scale their creative assets in advertising. This also allows them to save on costs of paying creators in different countries or speaking different languages. There are definitely benefits, but I wonder whether this new feature heavily favors brands while simultaneously hurting creators. While this technology is truly inevitable, I can imagine there are several creators who feel general unease with this Black Mirror-esque product feature. It's also possible that the Name, Image, and Likeness of creators could be replicated without their permission. But the biggest consequence of this new feature could be that brands no longer need to pay creators. Brands can just use Stock Avatars in a way that bypasses the need for creators. Of course, the most influential and authentic creators will still be in high demand, but there's a mid-to-long tail of creators who will likely see their commercial opportunities dry up because businesses can now just use Stock Avatars as their ad creative. If these digital avatars essentially "productize" creators and invalidate a large portion of the creator economy, I expect this could result in massive backlash. These new AI avatars have only been out for a week, but this is going to massively impactful for both content creators and brand marketers. https://lnkd.in/dWingihM #tiktok #aiavatars #digitaleconomy #influencers #creatoreconomy #creators #aimarketing #marketing #advertising

👨🎤 Will this be the end of Influencers? 👩🎤 TikTok just launched Symphony Avatars where brands are able to create an AI-generated avatar to speak about a brand or a product. 💯 TikTok's recent study found that 58% of TikTok users said they are more likely to trust brands after learning about them from TikTok creators, these newly added features, give brands more control over what they want to portray and save budget on engaging an influencer or talent. The addition of this feature for TikTok will push content creators to be more creative and put more effort into their posts. If an AI could do the same thing a content creator posts, why would a brand waste money on it? ✨ Influencers & content creators would now need to compete against AI creators and push themselves in terms of their creativity and content. With this additional feature, I do hope that it is used in the right way and not be used to scam or trick audiences into believing in a certain product or service. 👮♂️ TikTok would need to balance the credibility of the platform by introducing these features. Otherwise, it would be tough for users to believe the content on the platform, driving users away. It will be really exciting to see how brands and content creators make use of this new feature and how it will change the way content is created!

UGC creators should be on red alert. UGC is turning AI-GC. We've been sharing our thoughts on AI disruption on Influencer Marketing, and predicted UGC was the most vulnerable category of the creator economy, the most susceptible to transformation. Now Techcrunch reports that TikTok will allow brands to create UGCs (more like AI GCs) with genAI. What does this mean for creators? What does this mean for brands and agencies? Will YouTube and IG follow? https://lnkd.in/dU-iPaBK

Tiktok is launching AI-generated avatars of real influencers (custom avatars) and actors (stock avatars)! Program named Symphony will allow for these avatars to be used for ads & promotion. Benefits? For businesses, it provides the opportunity to use globally renowned personalities to promote their products in 30+ languages, enhancing their international presence and appeal. And for influencers, it is opening up new avenues for influencers to monetize and expand their global reach. Downsides? Much like promotional videos must be labeled as such, AI-generated videos will need to be labeled as well. The problem in both cases is that this label may not carry over if the video is reshared on other platforms. As the distinction between real and virtual content fades, the importance of ethical practices and transparency escalates. Brands must carefully balance these factors to build trust and establish genuine connections with their audience.

The adult industry always adopts and experiments with technology first, and it's been the same with AI. There's been a lot of chatter in the OnlyFans space about different AI tools for chatting, voice cloning, and creating "digital twins." I spoke to creators and the founders of some of these startups, like fanvue, MySentient, My.Club, and Eva. The whole breakdown is on Business Insider. #onlyfans #ai #influencers https://lnkd.in/eudtbZWT

Just stumbled upon a mind-blowing demonstration of AI's capabilities in the realm of UGC (user-generated content) It's a video app crafted entirely by AI, and the realism is jaw-dropping. 😲 The video showcases a scenario discussing everyday activities, but here’s the catch: it's all AI-generated. While it's clear to a discerning eye that Ai is at play, the finesse is such that most consumers might not catch on. This raises a fascinating question about the future role of UGC content creators and disclosure. 🤔 The app in question can take an actual video of a person and seamlessly integrate any script you provide, making the subject say whatever you've written, aligning perfectly with their lip movements. It's like having a digital clone! This technology could endlessly repurpose a person’s image into various ads or content pieces. This isn’t about replacing creativity but augmenting it with AI to explore endless possibilities. What do you think? Is this the future of content creation, or will the human touch remain irreplaceable in UGC? #aicommunity #influencers #ugc https://lnkd.in/gHNTG92k

As AI technology advances, we're seeing more and more realistic content created by machines. But what are the implications for authenticity and transparency in online content? Your thoughts? TikTok's move towards AI-generated content raises important questions about the role of technology in shaping our online experiences. #AI #TikTok #SocialMedia" These avatars are designed to serve as narrators with physical movements, facial expressions, and voiceovers, providing advertisers with over 100 different avatars to choose from, varying in appearance, accents, and languages These avatars are not only designed for narrating product demonstrations and explainer videos but also for gameplay and other interactive content, aiming to transform the way stories are told and experiences are shared on the platform. Moreover, TikTok is working on a feature that will allow users to create AI-generated profile pictures. This tool asks users to submit photos and choose from different styles for the AI-made photos, which can then be used as profile pictures or shared on TikTok stories. The feature is currently in the early stages of testing and is not widely available, with no set timeline for a broader rollout. the rise of AI-generated images and avatars has also raised concerns among privacy experts and digital artists, particularly regarding the potential misuse of personal data and the impact on traditional content creation jobs.
