## Summary

The video explores the rise of AI-generated influencers on platforms like TikTok, showing how realistic they appear and how creators use tools like Google's Veo 3 to produce viral content. The host demonstrates the process of creating such videos, shares tips for spotting fakes, and explains how to monetize AI influencer channels, including personal results of gaining 10,000 followers in under five days.

### Key Points

- **AI Influencers Are Everywhere** [00:02] — AI-generated influencers are creating tutorials, mukbangs, selling products, and even scamming people, and they look so real that many cannot tell the difference.
- **Spotting AI Videos: Hands and Mouth** [00:44] — To spot AI videos, check the hands (too long, too short, bent weird, or glitching) and the mouth (e.g., eyelashes disappearing or braces appearing mid-sentence).
- **Personal Test: 10k Followers in 5 Days** [03:21] — The host started a new TikTok page with zero followers and gained 10,000 followers in less than 5 days by posting AI-generated videos, and got monetized.
- **Google's Veo 3 Tool** [03:49] — Veo 3 is a leading tool for creating AI videos; you give it a prompt and it generates an 8-second clip. Access via deepmind.google/models/veo, requires Gemini Advanced Plus (one month free trial).
- **Using ChatGPT to Craft Prompts** [05:14] — Use ChatGPT (free) to create detailed prompts for Veo 3, specifying character traits like ethnicity, age, setting, and concept. Example prompt for an AI beauty influencer.
- **Key Elements in Prompts** [06:24] — Include race/ethnicity, skin tone, age, setting/vibe, and overall concept in your prompts to get desired results.
- **Veo 3 Limitations: 3 Prompts a Day** [06:51] — Veo 3 allows only 3 prompts per day, resetting every 24 hours. This limitation causes some creators to accept glitches rather than waste prompts.
- **Example: AI Beauty Influencer Video** [07:20] — The host demonstrates creating a beauty influencer video in under 5 minutes, showing the realistic output.
- **Variety: AI Pastor Video** [07:46] — The host creates a second example: a black pastor preaching a motivational word, showing the range of characters possible.
- **Monetization Requirements on TikTok** [08:41] — To get paid on TikTok, videos must be longer than 1 minute. You need 10,000 followers and 100,000 views in 30 days to be monetized.
- **Strategy: Short Clips to Grow, Then Longer** [09:21] — Create shorter clips to grow your page, then once monetized, create longer videos to earn money.

### Conclusion

AI-generated influencers are a growing trend with significant monetization potential, but it's crucial to be aware of their existence and how to spot them. With tools like Veo 3 and ChatGPT, anyone can create realistic AI videos and potentially grow a following quickly, but success varies and requires consistent effort.

## Transcript

taking over. >> Hey guys, so I wanted to share my thoughts on the latest trends I've been seeing around New York. And the scary thing is that they look so real that many people cannot tell the difference.
They are out here creating tutorials, mukbangs, selling products, and they are even scamming people. >> Step one, don't be dumb like me and glue not your front cam. Step two, pray. These tweezers do not got my back today.
>> Why my horse walking like he got beef >> Girl, mine stop midw walk like he rethinking his whole life. They both got an attitude. That's crazy work. >> So, none of the people that I just
showed you are real. These are O AI and they are going viral, getting millions of views. And so, by the end of this video today, I want to show you first and foremost how to spot the fake. And I'm also going to show you exactly how
people are creating these AI influencers and how they are making money by doing want to miss this because this is something that anyone can do. What's up to the channel. You know I am back with the news that you can use. But first, if
you are new here, hello bonjour, hola, aloha, kichi, wan, shalom, asalam alaikum, jambo, namaste. So, I'm just scrolling through the comments on some of these videos, and when I tell you the people cannot believe that this is not
real, they are saying stuff like, "Not me thinking this was real, and wait, this ain't a real person." So, we are literally this close to not being able to tell what's real from what's fake anymore. So, if you already had trust
issues, I'm sorry to tell you, AI is here to make it worse. But honestly, I don't blame the people that's confused because if you just scrolling minding your business, this looks real until her eyelash disappears mid video or she gets
some braces in the middle of a sentence. >> Cuz like why does everybody thinks I'm >> Cuz like why does everybody thinks I'm AI? That's so crazy. booked. And I don't want to really say AI is because people are creating these
influencers, but they are trying to convince us that it's real. Now, honestly, let me know down in the comments if you thought she was real or if you could tell that this was AI. But before we get into how to create these
type of AI influencer style videos, I want to show you the ways that you can actually tell if a video is AI created or not. And the first thing you want to check out is the hands because they'll either be too long, too short, bent
weird, or sometimes they just glitch mid motion and look like melted plastic. And another thing that you definitely can catch these AI videos slipping is by checking out the mouth. >> Oh my god. O, this got my throat
delicious hellfire in here. >> And with the tool that I'm about to show you that many people are using, this one can only create videos. eight seconds at >> Trends I've been seeing around. >> Absolutely divine.
>> And now that you know what to look for, also want to keep in mind when you're creating your videos so that you can try to avoid that. But let me show you exactly how people are making these AI
videos and how they're getting paid. And I actually tested this out myself. I went ahead and started a brand new page on Tik Tok. Zero followers. No one knows it's me. And I was able to get 10,000 followers by creating AI style videos in
less than 5 days. And I also was able to be monetized. And now I'm making money by doing it. So this is not somebody out here that's just making another video saying that you can do this. You can literally do this. And one of the
biggest tools right now is Google's new VO3. Let me know down in the comments if you have heard of it. But with VO3, all you have to give it is a prompt, basically directions explaining exactly what you wanted to create, and it will
do it for you in a matter of minutes. Now, just a heads up, I mentioned it earlier, but with VO3, you are only able to create 8second clips at a time. So, to get these videos that are longer that you see people making, they are
combining the clips together through Tik Tok or whichever platform they are uploading it to. So to go ahead and get started and get access to VEO3, you can started and get access to VEO3, you can go to deepmind.google/models/veo.
the description. But once you are here, you'll see that there are two different ways you can create video either with flow or with Gemini. And when I created my videos, I go through Gemini. I'll just hit the try with Gemini on that
page and it'll take me directly inside. And to be completely transparent with you, VO3 is not free. You have to have a Gemini Advanced Plus account, but they do allow you to get one month for free if you want to just try this out and see
if it's something that you can make work, especially if you're able to get monetized and start getting paid. It can cover the cost. But once we are inside of VEO3 and ready to work, I pause for a second and then I head over to ChatGpt,
which is something that you can use for free. And here is the exact prompt that I am going to enter into chat GPT because it's going to help us to create a prompt that we can then use in VO3 that will generate these style videos
that we are looking for. I am saying I'm creating a new Tik Tok page for an AI beauty influencer. I want the character to look as realistic as possible. They should be Africanamean in their early 20s and fumed in a casual natural
setting like a bedroom or bathroom. I want it to feel like a real Tik Tok with natural lighting, phone quality, camera angles, and authentic expressions. Can you create a detailed prompt I can use in Google Veo to generate an 8-second
video, including a natural sounding voice over script for a beauty tip? And then once I hit enter on that, it's going to give me a full prompt that I can then just copy and paste. Now, you don't have to use the exact prompt that
I use. You don't have to use the concept that I use. I'm just doing this just to But here is the key thing that you want to keep in mind. Anytime that you are creating these, there are several things
include, and that's going to be the race or ethnicity, and that can include like the tone of the skin that you want it to be. You also want to include the age you want it to have, the setting or vibe that you are going for, and then the
overall concept of the video. But once you have that prompt ready to roll, then you'll copy it and head back over to VEO3 and you're going to paste it in this box right here. And before you hit enter, just make sure you go over it
again. Make sure everything you want is included. Because here's another thing that you need to know with VO3, you only get three prompts a day and they reset every 24 hours. So you don't want to waste the prompt. And that's why you may
have errors, certain glitches and things because people not wasting their prompts have to go with what they have. But once you hit enter, after less than a minute, this is the video that it created. That's how you make an AI influencer,
y'all. It looked pretty real to me. >> Hey y'all. So, I just wanted to come on here real quick and show you my new skinare routine. And this entire process
took less than five minutes to do. And this is how people are creating these to get paid. But I really want to show you how much variety and range you have in you can make just about anything. So if you head back over to chat GPT, this
time I'm going to create a pastor. And I'm just going to tell it I'm creating an AI video of a black pastor preaching a short motivational word. I want him to a short motivational word. I want him to be in his mid50s with a clean suit, salt
and pepper beard, and a powerful stage present. Please write a prompt I can use for Google Veo to create an 8-second AI video, including a natural sounding take the prompt that it just gave me. Head back over to Vo 3. We use one of
our three generations we get. This is the second one. Hit enter. And after a minute, here's the pastor. >> I don't care how dark it looks. God is still in control. Delay is not denial. You're closer than you think.
>> Using this AI video generator, I'm telling you, the possibilities are endless. And all you will have to do from this point is to create you a brand new Tik Tok channel, come up with a good name for it. If you're not sure, just
name for it. If you're not sure, just ask Chat GPT to help you with a name, and then start uploading. And I would advise you to try to upload these once a day. You get again three generations every single day. You can generate
three. That'll give you 24 second clips. Now, do keep in mind your clips have to be longer than 1 minute in order for you to get paid through Tik Tok's don't mention that and then they have you out here building channels and you
have no idea that you will not get paid for that unless it's over the one minute threshold. So what you can do is create the shorter clips now to grow your page and then once you are able to get monetized then you can start creating
the longer ones. Now of course all the results will not be the same for everyone but can you go viral with this? Yes. Are many people going viral with this? Yes. Again I am proof that you can do this in a few days. Some people it
may take longer because this is so new. People are so amazed by what AI is out here doing. So you can create some educational, entertaining or something that just have good vibes and you can grow pretty fast with this. And I keep
saying monetization, but in order to be monetized on Tik Tok, you do have to hit 10,000 followers and have 100,000 views in 30 days. But again, it's happening quick. So I hope that this has helped you out. Please like this video because
it helps me out. And make sure you come back and let us know how it goes with your page. if you're able to become monetized, if you're growing, just keep us all in the loop. But until next time, we are out. Peace.
we are out. Peace. [Music]
