Transcript

So apparently, there's a new trend on TikTok, and I'm not even gonna lie to you, it's a little freaky. People are actually typing in the search bar my look alike, and what they're finding is their doppelganger walking around in the world that looks exactly like them. Y'all, how freaky is this gonna be? So listen to me, y'all. I got questions for my mama, but she already says she's got answers. And if you wanna do this, all you have to do is in the search bar, type my look alike, okay? And this is what you're gonna do. It's gonna pull up an effect. Tap on that, okay? What it's gonna do is scan your face, y'all. Like, it can be freaky a little bit. It's scanning your face, your eyes, your nose, your smile, whatever. Okay? Then once you tap that, it's gonna pull up people, I'm talking literal civilians that look just like you. I'm talking expressions like you. Everything that is like you, but it's not like you. And it's not AI. It's your look alike. So I don't know if I really love this trend or hate it, but either way, you know, I had to try it. Let me know if you try it. It's funny and scary. But if you're trying it, drop over here in the comments so we know we can go give your page some love.
