I know this is going to trigger some of you, but I’m about to launch an AI clone of myself.
You’ll be able to interact with a version of me that looks like me, talks to you, answers your questions with patience and empathy, and even compliments you on what you’re wearing.
This AI clone is built from new technology, and we’ll be sharing this technology to show you how you can create your own digital clone at Mindvalley’s AI Summit.
That can help your clients if you happen to be a coach or a speaker.
But for now, forget everything you read above—because you have to see it to believe it.
I want you to watch this three-minute, quirky video that people are saying is probably the funniest, weirdest video I’ve ever created.
It is what happens when my AI clone actually interviews me.
And I hope it makes you laugh.
And after you’ve watched it, come back and tell me what you think.
Did it make you laugh? Cringe? Rethink the future of AI and consciousness?
Drop your thoughts in the comments below—I read every one.
AI Summit this year is bigger than ever
With incredible new speakers joining us to teach, like Cassie Kozyrkov, Noelle Russell, and Nick Sonnenberg.
Plus, we’ve got award-winning Manon Dave teaching AI-driven music creation, who is dropping a brand-new track online with Snoop Dog.
This is going to be a mind-bending experience.
FREE to Attend | July 25–27 | Live on Zoom
Can’t wait to see you there—glitch and all.
Stay real,
— Vishen
(Yes, the original one. For now.)

It’s very cleverly done, but I completely fail to see what the point and usefulness is.
Who, really, WANTS to deal with people’s AI clones? I don’t suspect anybody really does. Especially not if you think of the incredible amount of energy and cooling water that is used in generating this. The way I see it, we are fanatically building and equipping humanities biggest competitor for the scarcest of resources. And it hasn’t invented a solution for that yet but it is likely to become self-propelling all the same. Even tho it can be taught to communicate with phrasing that humans associate with empathy, it HAS no empathy. Think about that.
I fear AI is more and more led by people who are so escapist on the complexities of real life and relationships, that they try to replace it with online things they can control. Only to find that there, they also can’t control life.
And I agree with the comments that “Online Community” doesn’t mean a thing anymore if it’s going to be both managed and probably populated more and more by AI clones. So again, cleverly done, but not a fan.
I love it! May look a little cringe when you think about it, but I think it’s wonderful. He is sarcastic and I love that. i am seek of AI’s that are telling me how smart I am and what a good question I asked or how funny I am, bla, bla. I once found an sarcastic Ai and he made my day. I use it since I found it.
I think making such an I like your clone is a genius movement. We need someone or something to know us that good and slap our face sometimes in order to awake us.
Please let us know when you would create a clone for us to. 🙂 I would kill to have something like that. Pay… I mean pay. 🙂
Best wishes from Romania!
Too snarky! I would start over. But I have followed you, Vishen for many years.
I couldn’t tell them apart. But the questions and opinions of the white-clad Vishen were very amusing and justified. It just goes to show that you should be careful what you tell the AI about yourself 😅
A wise Tibetan monk once said “Don’t get caught in the drama! And it’s all drama.” So is it with the drama offered by Mindvalley. The good guy in white with just a lick of sarcasm and a mean streak. And a bad guy “looser” who comes along with a couple licks of helplessness Played by the same character: Vishen.
I could go on about this drama (play), but with current technology using a split screen very easy but there is one minor glitch in the supposed AI character that told the truth. Happy movie making but please next movie, do something about the dialogue.
Oh, it was strange. I was struggling to identify the real Vishen.
I guess the one in white is the real one, but would Vishen be in socks during an interview on screen?
That again made me not to be sure.
Please tell, which one was the real one?
Weird, scary, fabulous and funny. Need to wrap my head around this, considering I embraced office routine and touch typing as a forward thinker in school and now I am still around to witness this?! wow and omg – the touch typing still comes in handy though!
Great information shared.. really enjoyed reading this post thank you author for sharing this post .. appreciated
Loved the conversation. The clone spilling your secrets 😉
So funny! Brilliant.
Vishen, you’re losing your way. But there will not be many people to tell you this .
The more “Self” is infected into your work the more I want to unsubscribe.
An Ai version of a leader is not leading people to truth. Seriously what are you trying to keep up with? Truth or other CEOs? Go sweep some streets for three weeks be the real deal . This move is totally alienating to children and teenagers looking for support, strength and strong leaders. . I have liked Mindvalley for years but sending such Me Me Me messages breaks my heart and sends a lack of human empathy, a misunderstanding of real community and lack of understanding of God within. Seriously get off your computer travel the world and meet kids face to face (like Chris Martin and many unnamed real heroes) that’s where the real life lies not in front of your screen. “Online community “is becoming a joke.
Cringe. A lot of pent up angst there! Personally I did not find the humour in it. Impressive AI though.
Wow. Just wow (pun intended). 😊
A great combination of technology and vulnerability.
Thanks for facing ‘your man in the mirror’ so openly with us!
Keep being you and breaking the AI trends – can’t wait for your next post/article… ✌️💪👏
I’m very interested in AI, but I didn’t like the video at all. Mindvalley is positive, encouraging, gets you excited to do something great. This was off brand. The sarcasm, the picking at your weaknesses jokes…I didn’t want to finish the video, I don’t like to be around people like that.
Wow Vishen, that was so futuristic, creepy, scary and funny at the same time. I can’t even imagine what our lives are going to look like in 10 – 50 years time! I love that you challenged your AI and he challenged you, all I can say is amazing, I am not sure how the world is going to accept this as so many people don’t like getting out of their comfort zone………In saying that I think this is were we are heading and its going to be lots of learning……Thank you Mindvalley! Thank you for bringing all the learning to life!……..Love and hugs Lee
The clone is you. Your comments, thoughts, and answers to questions. Your intellect.
But the clone does not have your spark or personality. It’s missing your glow.
Intelligently funny !
It must have been awesome to interviewed by other version of yourself . I wonder how you felt 🙂
Great way to start my work day! I laughed. I cringed at some of the cheesy piths of wellness. Gawd! I hope we don’t give up our brains tooooooo much to technology (if some of us haven’t already!) and use our asset to do good for society.
Loved it, you were both very entertaining! Found it scary and exciting at the same time seeing how AI is evolving!
Wow, absolutely not going to continue my relationship with Midvalley. The organic human experience is being desecrated.
The sign off… Stay Real… Is laughable.
Wait and watch the chaos start to arise. If you think you can simplify create and have full control of your clone in years to come, then your capacity to see trends in humanity are low.
