In their words
Rafael Kramer - this 14 yr old makes $100k/mo PROFIT building apps with ai (here's how)
Rafael Kramer… for this specific one, it's pretty interesting. So, if you go to TikTok, uh I can show you like a couple of accounts. So, like this is like This is crazy, cuz like this is AI. Um, and I just would have never like Like, if you look at the the actual videos, like it it looks pretty real to me. When I first saw this influencer, it was like it was kind of like yeah, I I I thought it was real, but like this is actually AI, which is pretty crazy.
Rafael KramerUm, so I feel like there's like this new wave of uh just like these really, really hyper-realistic AI influencers that, you know, people also believe. I mean now in the comments people are saying it, but you know the guys behind this account run accounts that people don't even know are AI. Like you can see in the comments people are asking how, "How did you do this transformation?" etc., etc. So, I just immediately, you know, once these guys uh launched their page, I immediately DM'd them and I was like, "You know, let's launch an app." So, we're launching an app with these guys um, you know, and then we're also just training a bunch of people to make the the same type of videos.
Joseph Choi[laughter] That's insane. So, the the like the entire thing is AI, like the before and after?
