I barely sleep at night because every time I wake up the next morning there's something new that's launched.

In the arc of innovation, a few years can feel like a long time or no time at all.

Because early on, things move slow. People ask are we there yet and also jump to point out that we're not exactly where people thought we would be.

But when technologies hit that exponential phase, things move really quickly.

Sometimes so quickly that we forget that tools like mid-journing or stable diffusion literally did not exist one year ago. Now in a recent episode we

discussed the first wave of technology used to build digital influencers and we

did that with the creators of Loe Michaela.

Michaela was a first mover and she was built in 2016,

but at the same time she was built with CGI.

But today we're actually presented with an entirely new set of tools, these AI tools,

that give almost anyone the opportunity to build a digital influencer of their own.

So in today's follow-up episode, I thought it'd be interesting to bring in two new voices,

seemingly from different worlds, but also converging on one topic.

That topic being, how does artificial intelligence fundamentally change the way that we all represent ourselves online?

The first voice is Shaneid Beauvel.

Shane describes herself as a futurist, but she also wrote an article titled,

I am a model, and I know that artificial intelligence

will eventually take my job.

But here's the thing.

She wrote this three years ago, which again, depending on the prism that you have on the world,

can both feel like yesterday and forever ago.

Our second voice is Danny Postma.
