Introducing AI Sharon

“Work smarter, not harder”

Isn’t that a phrase we hear all the time? That’s what I’m thinking when I open ChatGPT or other AI tools that have exploded from the interwebs this last year. No, the bots are not writing my presentations or content, but they are helping me with clever and creative prompts.

And then I discovered this…

What do you think?

For anyone who knows me well (as my two sons pointed out), there certainly are obvious tells with some of my facial expressions and intonation that reveal it's an avatar. What about people who don't know me? Well, that's another story.

So, what would be potential use cases for an AI video avatar? After all, we preach authenticity all the time. In thinking about the work smarter not harder mantra, I might consider using AI Sharon when putting together long, online videos for training modules. Upload the scripts and AI Sharon delivers them. How about video messages instead of emails for your internal teams? We know people pay attention longer to videos than to emails more than a paragraph or two. What other ways could you see an AI video avatar in action in our modern world?

If you’re interested in creating your own avatar, try HeyGen. I’ve had so much fun playing with this web-based app. It even makes you bilingual. Seriously. Watch AI Sharon speaking Italian below…


What else can AI do?

Have you tried any of those magical AI photo editors? You know the ones that keep popping up in your Instagram or Facebook feeds? Yup, I bit. Check out AI Sharon’s latest photoshoot from MyMood AI.

Obviously, AI Sharon managed to lose that pesky ten pounds I've been battling for more than a decade. And unless I visited the salon for a blowout, I've never been able to glow up my hair like AI Sharon's in this gallery.
