These AI clones operate 24-7 and can continue working even when their human counterparts are offline.
Some companies are now experimenting with business models where individuals get paid when their AI clones are used in real-world scenarios.
This opens the door to the future where people can work through their digital selves.
However, this technology raises serious questions about ethics, privacy, accountability, and the value of human labor.
While AI clones can improve efficiency, they also challenge traditional ideas about identity and employment.
The new era of AI clone digital labor.
AI clones are artificial intelligence that imitate human speech, thinking, and decision-making styles.
By learning how to write e-mails, chat, hold meetings, and post on social media,
AI clones can accurately reproduce human-like speech and decision-making.
In Japan, tech company ORTS is leading this field.
The company employs more than 100 employees to create AI clones,
and supports inter-company communication, one-time interviews, and press releases.
AI clones can operate 24-7 and can continue working even when their human counterparts are offline.
In addition, some AI clones have been tested to see if they can get paid as long as they work,
and the future where individuals can work and get paid is becoming reality.
On the other hand, the question of ethics, privacy, accountability, and the value of human labor is a major issue.
For us, instead of us, they are acting like us.
Yeah, it's so weird, but it's amazing, right?
Yeah, so that I can take day off or something.
I guess it's not like that.
Most people do email, conversation, and social media, right?
People who work in online or web-based jobs.
They learn how we talk, right?
So, they learn our records of email and, I don't know, phone call or anything, and they can copy us.
Then, I think they can talk like us, right?
Including slangs and accents and everything.
So, AI clones working for the actual human being, walker, and then AI clones, walkers are chatting each other.
So, it means AI chatting each other.
It's so weird.
It's meaningless, right?
It's not possible, right?
It's against the customer.
Right.
It's against the customer.
Yeah, customer care, like a reply for...
And when it comes to the interviews, it's just like first interviews.
So, probably a lot of people apply this company and they don't have time to check everyone.
Then, they can see their resume and everything with AI first.
And then, after that, the human being will do interviews by each.
So, the first annoying thing is done by AI, and the important part is done by the human being.
I think this company is doing that for now.
But, when I do a phone call, free dial, and at first, AI talks to me, it pisses me off sometimes.
The one that combines with the robot.
Yeah, sometimes it pisses me off.
Like a delivery guy or a postman.
Yeah.
You know, sometimes it's like, let's get the human out.
I don't even realize if it's AI.
Yeah, that's a little further ahead.
Not realizing is...
If you have a conversation, if it's a one-way voice, there's a possibility that you don't know.
But, if I reply, like now, like a current chat GPT has like AI speaking, so that I can practice speaking like other languages.
And then, the quality of their speaking level is pretty high.
It's like, you know, far different than Siri.
But, you know, there's a gap between the sentence or the gap when I respond to them.
They have like...
But, when it comes to the conversation, like the first few seconds, people want to talk about different things, about whether or how are you, how have you been,
Including those things, there are times when you talk to a human being, and then you have a break, and then you go into a business talk.
You can't do that yet.
Like an ice break?
Yeah.
So, you can have a conversation with a good person.
Yeah.
Like a business conversation.
But, you know, instead of that, it would be nice if you could send me an email or something like that.
A lot of companies need more people, right?
So, if they can do like initial work like this, and maybe it's going to affect to their sales, employment, work hours, etc.
Does it have to be AI clone?
It's only, you know, just using AI for the replying email is fine, right?
Why do we have to do AI clone to mimic someone?
Because the AI itself already, you know, study a lot of people's mind or the, you know, the data.
So, only one AI can be enough for that company, no?
That doesn't make sense to me.
Because according to the article, they have like 100 people using AI clone.
So, which means they have 100 AI clones.
But we don't need 100 version AI clone, right?
Because when writing a business email, we don't have to, you know, show their personality.
400 patterns, right?
When it comes to like chatting, then I can, you know, figure out this is not the real this person, right?
If it's just a business email, why don't we need 100 version clone?
I think.
I think it depends on the client.
So, in the end, does it make sense to hire this many people?
Yeah.
In the first place.
It doesn't make sense to hire.
Because, you know, the person in charge of the inquiry is AI1, right?
So, if something happens, the human employee should ask AI1, right?
Yeah, that's true.
Oh, wait.
We also search, you know, what's the point of hiring people then?
The answer is, AI clones can only mimic repetitive, systematic work.
So, AI only can mimic like pattern, routine work.
Not, you know, improvise something.
So, they need the data to do something.
At this time, they only can do this, but I think they will learn in the future.
Yeah, in the future, yeah.
They can do more advanced things, right?
True.
That's amazing.
That's really good.
I really want AI clones.
I want to see all the emails again.
Like what I said to my clients.
It probably makes me worry what they say.
And also, if it's correct to reply.
So, I think...
So, template-based email can be replaced by AI.
Yeah, that's right.
I used to reply to each email individually, but now I can do it by myself.
I can't do it if I don't have a template.
You know, we used to make template-based email by ourselves.
Like, if you type in something, it will be sent to you.
It's just a non-advanced version.
Yeah, I think so.
It's still in the movie, so it hasn't been realized yet.
But at the end of the day, they can do it.
At the end of the day.
When can they do it?
I think it's soon.
I think it's soon.
Even GPD has a lot of applications.
Like, what kind of character is the base?
That's really annoying.
They talk to me like a friend.
Or like I'm a student of them.
It's really unnecessary.
Because, you know, some people like to talk to AI like a friend.
Or like, you know, be fall in love with AI or something.
Or like, you know, share your worries.
When I think about it, I sometimes wonder why you're talking to me normally.
Then, you can say, can you fix my way of using words?
Because I'm telling you exactly what you need to tell me.
Like, what information I need.
So, you don't need to put like your humor.
Or, you know, daily conversation is unnecessary.
Then, they reply, okay, I'm sorry.
I will be polite.
I will do, you know, output the information that you want.
But, next day or couple days ago, they be friends again.
Like, they don't remember.
That's true.
Yeah, I think so.
Maybe they're all in this open AI company.
Yeah.
So, they have a lot of information.
Like, personal information probably.
Like...
What I need is...
Yeah.
Yeah.
They have like bunch of information of many people.
And they can...
And face.
They're sharing now with personal information now, right?
Yeah.
It's so scary.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Let everybody know where I am.
I did too.
I did too.
It depends on which style, like business account or like personal account.
They advance too much sometimes.
We need to keep up all the time with the AI.
They can use us sometimes.
But we need to use them.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know, showing your kid's face on social media.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What kind of personal information?
To your followers?
Yeah.
If it's helpful or useful for your business or communication.
If it's just a simple personal information, you shouldn't post it randomly.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
LINE?
It sounds like Snapchat.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Icho-san, while they are baby, then their face will be changed when they become bigger.
So, that's okay.
But when they become maybe five or six, then I can figure out who is who already.
And I can imagine like what the face they have when they going to be adult.
At that time, I don't want to post my kids.
It's so difficult to manage.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know, being an important person is good.
Most safe.
Yeah.
Older women who don't have cell phones are the most safe.
It's safe and so personal.
And so special.
I only can update them when I meet them.
Yeah.
Yeah, seriously.
Too much sharing.
I can't talk about people.
Yeah, I know.
Yeah, I know.
Yeah, I know.
Yeah, I know.
Keep posting something means connect to the world and people.
It makes sense.
Like when I meet somebody been a long time and then they already know my status and what I'm doing now.
I don't have to make time to keep up with them.
It's easier for me.
They can question me.
They can ask me what I have.
I also need to learn how to use the social media.
I need to keep learning.
We talk about AI clone.
And also we found some news that there is automatically creating podcast AI.
Which means we don't need here anymore.
Mooncast is an AI generated podcast with no human host.
Mooncast is an AI system that generates full podcast episodes from script to voice without human input.
It means we don't have to write script.
It means we don't have to write script.
It means we don't have to write script.
We don't have time to do podcast and they can do it for us.
But we ourselves also changing every day and our thoughts and our conversation is also changing.
I don't think they can copy us like 100%.
But it would be good if we could just keep going and make episodes.
We need to stick with human being podcast.
Which means deep fake of us recording a new episode.
Or maybe Mooncast is just only for voice based.
I don't know.
We want to talk about this topic today and they will talk about instead of us.
But I'm also interested in what they talk for us.
I think they can talk for us.
I think they can talk for us.
I think they can talk for us.
It's not that easy to mimic our Japanese.
It's not that easy to mimic our Japanese.
The gap between words and each accent.
The way Minami Owaru talks without finishing the sentence.
I know because I'm writing subtitles of us.
It's really hard to do.
I have to come up with words.
I totally understand.
The sentence Minami made.
It's like you're really good at it.
That's what I wanted to say.
Japanese voice with Japanese subtitle is also change.
Because sometimes I need more explanation.
When I listen other people's podcast.
They're Japanese so fluent.
I mean they're Japanese.
They're so fluent and then they will make sentence.
And then they speak until the finish of the sentence.
But for us it's like when we even have a guest speaker.
But the Japanese is like,
Huh? Is that all?
So I think we need to get used to speaking.
It's difficult.
I don't think it's the way Okinawans speak.
I think it's the same for children.
They are so good at the polite Japanese.
Right?
Like this.
Like so-called.
How can I say it?
The words they put at the beginning.
But we learn from our parents and our environment.
So it can't be helped that we are raised by people who speak strange Japanese.
But you know.
It's a little bit different.
It feels like feelings.
The way we talk.
But Okinawan dialect is ancient Japanese.
There is a theory like that.
That's interesting.
But Okinawan dialect is just an intonation.
So it's just broken Japanese.
When we study or be able to speak Okinawan dialect perfectly.
Which means we are speaking ancient Japanese.
Right?
So like our grandparents or our parents speaking ancient Japanese.
That sounds cool.
Right?
Yeah.
Where is the article?
Not article.
It's from the book.
And it's also a YouTube video that they summarized the book.
It says like Okinawan dialect is not from outside of Japan.
So it's not came from China or Korea or other Asian countries.
So it doesn't influence to Okinawan dialect.
Okinawan dialect came from Japanese language.
And very ancient Japanese.
It gives us information of how Okinawa start.
At first we thought Ryukyu is the Ryukyu kingdom.
But it's not Ryukyu.
It's supposed to be Japan.
Right.
It's gonna be too long.
It's not Ryukyu kingdom.
It's supposed to be Ryukyu kingdom as a part of Japan.
So we looked it up.
And we looked up the dialect again.
For example, let's say Japan is in the middle.
And Tokyo is in the middle.
And Okinawa and Hokkaido are on the edge.
The way the language spread is
when you say from central to Hamon,
the word evolution is less on the outside.
Is that so?
In short, the trend comes late.
Ah, I see.
The word spread from the center and then spread again.
So Japanese evolved in so many ways.
But it started from like a central area.
Like Tokyo and Kyoto.
So they are changed already.
But Okinawa, Hokkaido and other countryside areas
haven't been influenced much.
So in Okinawa dialect,
there is an ancient word called Kojiki.
That's interesting.
We need to talk about this.
Let's talk about that later.
Another episode, yeah.
Even we speak in very broken Japanese here.
But our parents speak in ancient Japanese.
So that's why we are not perfect enough
for a current, modern Japanese.
That's the excuse.
We've lost a lot of the conversation.
But anyway,
it's difficult to summarize this chaotic Japanese into AI.
Like as we talk,
the developing AI and I thought
what the value of human being in the future.
Yeah.
When I thought that,
chat GPD answered me.
You are like a human being taught by chat GPD.
Let's go.
Emotions, empathy, connection, creativity, art,
the human being will be the value of the human being.
And I also asked them,
when it's going to be like more,
how do I say?
Then they said 10 to 30 years later.
10 to 30.
Because now we are using AI.
And then after the AI will be more developed,
and then expanded,
and what human being is.
10 to 30 years later,
it's going to be an era where we want to be more human.
It seems that society is starting to realize the value of waste and inefficiency.
Waste and inefficiency?
Society is starting to realize the value of waste and inefficiency.
In short,
Enjoy the time that doesn't matter.
Take care of the time that doesn't create anything.
Yes.
Not efficiency.
I think it's still taken care of now.
But all the activities now tend to have meaning.
Yes.
So, to have a meditation time,
it's like you're looking for something, right?
You're looking for some good for your health.
Something good for your career.
Even to have a workout,
even for your body,
but you're looking for something good for your work eventually.
Because you can't work a lot of time if you have enough muscle.
Yes.
You're looking for meaning.
Yes.
So, meaning...
Because sleeping,
modern people are thinking about resting now to work tomorrow,
or not to have a hard time,
but if you want to be more human,
you're just sleeping now, right?
Is it wrong?
Yes.
Purpose.
Probably to fulfill your health and mental health.
It's not like you're looking for pleasure.
You don't have to look for it, but you're looking for it.
Is that efficiency or being human?
I don't know.
But...
In short, it's important to have a time to spare.
Yes.
People who are doing useless things inefficiently now,
will be more important in the future,
so you should keep going.
Keep going.
That's right.
Because AI will make it more efficient anyway.
If you want to be unique and if you want to be more needed,
then you should be different.
That's what it means.
Analog is important.
Is it survival mode?
If we don't make it more efficient now,
we can't keep up with the society.
In the future, if you want to do new business,
that's what it means.
In the end, in terms of making a living,
I think efficiency is required.
For example,
we can be way more productive than now using AI,
like maybe 5 or 10 years later.
Right now, my task taking one hour will be one minute.
Then I can have more free time.
That's the level of efficiency.
If we jump over the level of efficiency,
it will be a super efficient society.
Now we have time, what are we going to do with it?
We can use AI clone, right?
So we only have to work at office maybe an hour a day.
So the other 23 hours is free time every day.
Is that what it means?
Yes.
But to make time for yourself,
to do something for yourself,
not for money, for people, or for work,
to increase that time,
that's my goal.
Me, same.
So,
an efficient and inefficient life.
What am I saying?
In short, something that can be super efficient
means that you can earn money and get free time.
It doesn't change even now.
There are successful people like that.
That's right.
So the dream of efficiency
comes from AI,
and the possibilities are changing.
If you can make your business do things
that you couldn't think of before,
you will have more free time,
and you can do something socially good.
You can do something with your body.
So in that sense,
a human-like activity.
In short, you don't have a hobby,
and you're like,
it's okay, right?
You finished work so early,
what are you going to do after that?
I want it to be three days a week as soon as possible.
As long as you don't work.
I think we can do it.
That's right.
Times are a little scary,
but by using AI,
you can make things you don't want to do
into AI or AI clones.
No, it's about improving your human power.
Human activity and human power.
I'll do it.
I've been thinking about
whether I should turn on music
at the beginning or at the end of this radio.
Let's look for something.
It's okay if it's silent.
There are people who only turn it on before and after.
At the end, it flows like this.
It's like, see you next week.
It's good for the ears.
It's like it's starting now.
It's become a habit.
It's like a jingle.
Let's find something and make it.
Yeah, let's make it.
Okay, Akane.
Since you're busy,
let's call it a day.
Take care of your humanity.
Yes.
Bye.
