Imagine the creepiest use case for AI that you could ever think of and make it 10 times worse. Yesterday I was looking into this app, it's got 12 women that all have full multi-month long profiles that are all making what look like real videos, but they're all promoting this app in some way, shape or form. I started to dig into this and it's kind of weird. Where did it start? On my own video, the suggested thing was an influencer marketing agency. The most ultimate travel hacks thanks to... [inaudible]... Gate F8 app. And comments they all... I look up this article. "Never Pay a Human Again": The AI Bot Farm That Wants to Replace Creators and Influencers. Andreessen Horowitz is backing a startup that uses AI bot accounts to replace influencers, cut costs, and scale social media marketing. If you don't know what Andreessen Horowitz is, it's one of the biggest venture capital companies in the world. They're worth billions and billions of dollars and they back some of the craziest companies in the world. Essentially, they have backed this company called Doublespeed, which is co-founded by a 21-year-old Zuhair Lakhani and 29-year-old Hassan Syed, uses "agentic social accounts," or AI-influencers and promotions, to advertise client's products. Meant to seem like organic, user-generated content (UGC). Doublespeed has their AI-accounts which include niche characters like a 62-year-old mom in Phoenix or Gen-Z skater in Atlanta—scroll, swipe, comment, warm up, and engage like real users. Social media platforms, which bar nondisclosed ad content, let alone AI content, let alone AI accounts with niche characters. Have you ever heard of a freakier term than "mindshare"? It's basically the internet theory. Everything you see is fake. This app right here has apparently hired Doublespeed or a company like Doublespeed to take all of these women, they might be AI, sure, got me. I thought they were real. And make real accounts, hundreds of them that look like real accounts, usually see promoting apps like this. And who gets hurt at the end of the day? As always, this poor guy just got scammed by the actual app itself, who has the money to pay this Doublespeed company. If I'm wrong, sue me. But please don't actually sue me. Seems like you guys have a lot of money.
