I created this creepy avatar and now I might never stand in front of a camera again
- AI avatar video generator like HeyGen allows you to create digital twin that can speak to the camera for you.
- HeyGen is simple and powerful software for generating AI avatars, useful for video presentations, social media, interactive avatars, training videos, and anything where an engaging human face might help sell the topic or information.
- HeyGen recommends using at least a 1080p video at the beginning of the process when creating an avatar.
- Paying customers of HeyGen can produce longer videos, access faster video processing and create videos in full HD at 1080p.
- Although the digital twin created via HeyGen looks almost like the person who created it, the essence of the voice is too robotic and lacking in emotion.
- HeyGen gets credit for creating a non-fuss digital twin video generator that can do our video bidding, but the AI-generated video is concerning due to the possibility of putting words in someone's mouth if you have video of them speaking.
- The author of the article also points out flaws in the software and that it can be vastly improved by including users training it on emotions and other facial expressions.
- The HeyGen software can lead to ethical concerns as well as to a rise in deepfake videos that could be weaponized for malicious purposes.
- The AI-generated videos created by HeyGen may not be useful in future marketing strategies due to lack of emotions that make humans more relatable.
- AI avatar video generators surely have their benefits but it is important to consider the ethical implications they pose.
