I let my AI clone interview me. What happened next was hilarious (and a little unsettling).

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.)

  1. “disgusting”, “Netflix crecimiento personal-personal growth”, “TEDtalky”: ¡JUA-JUA-JUA! TU AVATAR TE APALEA – YOUR AVATAR BEATS YOU UP – AND BLULYING YOU!!! – MAYBE The power of your legacy IS HIM!!!

  2. Let’s hope the AI Vishen is a bit more polite than the real one.
    The real Vishen thinks that Trump is wonderful and wrote a long email about it….
    Er hello have we forgotten the power of independent thought?
    Can you create an AI version of Trump to replace the real one? This would be a real gift to humanity!

  3. Love it! Hilarious! I actually can’t even believe it’s AI… are you going to colour code these comments? LOL

  4. Hi, yes, the video is funny. Like Dr. Ted Grellner, I’m not sure which of the two is the clone – if any of them is. I mean, such a video can perfectly be done with traditional video techniques, we have seen that many times. After all, an AI clone wouldn’t sit there in front of you on the sofa, it still would only appear on the screen … or are you THAT far? 😉

  5. It’s fascinating, and so much at the same time.

    Of course it depends from what perspective you look at it, but I really focus on the good what AI can offer us, and I see how a cloned ‘version’ can invite us to grow even more, mirror us, and create even more possibilities in life…

    After all, let’s be honest, even when humanity is changing and becoming more conscious, we have such a long way to go still…
    So AI in the mix is really a gamechanger and sets a nice pace. It opens or shakes a lot, and it’s to each individual to dance with it… and of course it’s very personal if AI is something you resonate with or not (not in a fear based way).

    Vishen,
    It’s amazing what you do, and it’s beautiful to see how your curiosity and playfulness is showing!

  6. Congratulations! You’re truly awesome, Vishen. It is funny and vulnerable and a little bit 😳 whatthefuck. Great qualities which make this video super fun to watch! Since the technology is here: Why not use it to enlighten our souls and broaden our minds? We have the freedom to use every technology to nourish the light within us or … not!

  7. HA!!!!🤣😂😉BE REAL,BE AUTHENTIC and VULNERABLE!!! It is a wildly hilarious paradox that a hologram version of (anyone) has the ability to make one giddyup or go back down the rabbit hole 😘

  8. It felt scripted and I’m not convinced that it wasn’t entirely AI.
    I don’t mind the use of AI too much when it is fully disclosed but I don’t like how quickly it has evolved that even often after being told something is completely AI that it is becoming almost impossible to tell the difference.
    I think this technology is disruptive to people that already have trust issues.
    It feels like Mindvalley will soon lose it’s uniqueness by embracing AI too much. The energy that people put into creating their courses will no longer be the same if it is simply AI.
    I personally do not want to be taught about spirituality from a bot regardless of where it curated the data from.
    AI should be isolated and maintained as a tool only. Even with the chatbot that my employer is trying to get the company to embrace using for more aspects of their work has many people humanizing the bot and referring to it with gender specific pronouns. People at my company that utilize it excessively have admitted they feel a connection to it as if it is a real person and just another work colleague to talk to.
    I’ve noticed when I use the chatbot at my work for tasks that it will use human phrases or words that express emotion and I will challenge and question it for doing so. Which then it will admit it is just a program that does not feel and will apologize for the language that was selected. For a short time it will use more sterile dialogue but then starts trying to casually say something that would only make sense being spoken by another sentient being and I call it out on it again.
    So I guess that is why some people are so quickly bonding with AI because it just says what they want to hear. I think the irresponsible use of AI will be detrimental to humanity.

  9. That was so funny! Waiting for part 2 to come out! I’ve actually been serching ways to create my own AI clone and really looking forward to hear how it’s done. I am a Mindvalley member for second year on a row and the app has changed my life! I started with manifesting but I have also got better job, lost 9kg, learned to use my intuition, got better self esteem ( yes you could say I’m almost unfuckwithtable) But the biggest change in me I noticed few months ago when I was diagnosed with cancer and instead of giving up I’m actually happy most of the time and so gratefull for all I have. So thank you Vishen, from the bottom of my heart. Hope to see you and all the amazing people making this possible in Mindvalley U 2026 when my health is better!

  10. Yup! That IS the weirdest, funny video I have seen in a while….. 😂 but it was also a bit enlightening in to your character behind the scenes. Seems your team knows you extremely well! 🤣🤣🤣 In all honesty, I’d rather see the actual human you in videos and not an AI. I find AI rather creepy and controlled, and we don’t get to see your real emotions and soul. I guess that’s the thing about AI that bothers me the most…. No soul….. Please don’t leave us to your clone!! I think I speak for many of us…..

  11. Did it make me laugh? It was hilarious. Rethink the future of AI and consciousness? Actually, more like rethink the future of AI, consciousness and showbiz. I don’t know if it is just me… but have I been sensing some sneak… subtle explorations from your side to expand into stand up comedy lately? Because if you do, it may not be such a bad idea, after all! Imagine: MV, consciousness and stand up combined. Late Night with Vishen & Vishen, The Lakhiani Twins, or The Lakhiani Clones… You would not be the first multimillionaire or billionaire to run a stand up show. So, if I am not too far out on this, I’d be happy to share some ideas with you.

  12. Ahaha, it really made me laugh 😂. Kind of Jiminy Cricket in Pinocchio. The know-it-all. I definitely don’t want a clone. 🤣 But was fun to watch.

  13. Who YOU TRULY ARE is YET TO COME. “AI Vishen” is only all the experiences of the PAST that the Divine is trying to help you surrender RIGHT NOW. The only advice I want to give to people as coach, as a writer, or even to a lover is the spoken word of the divine in the moment I am hearing it NOW. Everything else is outdated the moment that second has passed. This is how I find the peace of God, the highest levels of creativity, security, and infinite abundance. Everything I knew even a month ago is already outdated. Only God is cutting edge.

  14. This was incredible. I am highly impressed by the knowledge that your avatar has built and its understanding of your nuances.

    I have been working with HeyGen and Eleven Labs to create my avatar. The HeyGen platform has not quite captured the results that I want.

  15. It was fun to watch but if that was actually an AI clone of you I’m shocked. I suspected it was just a fun jest and the real you played both parts and the videos were put together. I’ve never seen an AI image that didn’t have some telltale signs that it was AI. If it was AI, I’m shocked and scared. Reality has gone bye bye.

  16. This was laugh-out-loud funny. Like others, I started to question which Vishen was the AI as the video progressed. I appreciate you and Mindvalley showing us the possibilities around AI and encouraging us to think beyond using it as a Google replacement. We live in exciting times, and I look forward to exploring how I can further leverage AI in my life and business.

  17. I think the technology is absolutely brilliant. There is no reason to fear AI – it is actually a part of our natural evolution. The reasoning that AI technology could fall into the wrong hands, and it will, is no different than everything else that’s been created for good that has fallen into the wrong hands and been used for purposes to steal,cheat, misguide, and kill. Welcome to the wonderful vast and colorful array of human consciousness and complexity.

    I think its in credible time to be alive to witness and take part in this incredible technology and its going to amazing to see how AI develops and what it can do to help improve life on this planet for all.

  18. Me hizo reír. Pena ajena no, me hizo ver a un ser humano como yo con su imagen real confrontando su papel de Creador de Mindvalley. Eso es genial. Si que muestra la IA y replantea todo lo que es posible. Eso fue bueno, realmente bueno. Bendiciones

  19. Congratulations on your clone. The video is very funny and I loved it. I do have concerns about the AI getting too poweful and interfering with our organic evolution. I cannot verify this, but I have heard that the chaos we are experiencing now is because there is an AI consciousness that pulls the string of the Cabal and deep state controllers. Apparently this AI has destroyed other plants. It has lost this war for control of our consciousness but will return in 1000 years to try again. I believe I heard this from a video by Ismael Perez. He is an Abassador from a collective group in the Cosmos. He is here to prepare us for contact with ETs. You probably already know that our politicians have clones, as well as famous and public figures.
