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

Vishen and AI clone

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. I am an elementary-MS art teacher. My concern with using AI is that it’s not allowing people to work out their own creative ideas and solve problems, by going through their own processes.
    I just finished my masters in art education. I was told to run my paper through the AI editing system. It cleaned my grammar, punctuation and changed my writing so it wasn’t my voice anymore. I don’t like that.
    We still need hands on activity for our brains to grow. Many people learn by doing not just by reading about it. It’s a problem if we rely solely on it and not have the ability to control or change it. I don’t want anything automated to make my decisions for me. Suggestion maybe, but that’s my choice to accept it. Thanks! Love the information about Silva, meditation and universe energy. That’s more important to my life.

  2. I love it….thanks for the laughs and light-heartedness from you. Wishing you infinite peace, happiness and laughter.

  3. OK – SO YES! It made me laugh! It also feels like I know you a little better – and still like you!

  4. It was hillarious. But on a serious note it’s reflection at its best and the raw parts most of us hide from the public eye, what we think but not speak. Would be weird if I put myself in your shoes, imagine confronting yourself and having no where to hide behind our masks. But cloning has been around for a while and the way media portrays it, you know it is already in active use by many celebrities and politicans already, its only a matter of time. Am I comfortable with it? I don’t think we have a choice besides how we decide to react to it.

  5. That interview with your AI clone is just hilarious and so cool, Vishen. 😂 I thought the talk with your AI inner child was hilarious and so funny but this is next level and that’s why I love MV and you and all the quests and teachers. No other platform that’s more inspiring for me then MV. You did it again. You rock!

  6. Hi Vishen and the clone which will be feeding off these comments, I’m sure ya. Or I’m probably experiencing hallucinations of the AI kind of type as I’m watching a surreal interview or may be aptly an interogation of sort by an AI clone of Vishen to Vishen himself. Oh my, never would I be expecting to see and let alone write about what just transpired which is something awkwardly amusing yet warrants deep thinking and foresight of the future we like or don’t like to see and whether we have any kind of power in us to shape our future with AI. On a side note, I laugh towards the end of the interview as things didn’t quite seem to be in favor of the real Vishen in the interactions with his AI clone and it really looks funny. But, and afterthought arises. If and when our interactions with AI become uncomfortable for us, mankind, to handle and so called tolerate. Would we be affording ourselves the luxury of an OFF button for the AI or it is actually not so easy as in what the real Vishen purportedly did in the footage. Are we ready for the eventualities of AI in the history of mankind? Or are we letting history be the judge.

  7. I’m afraid to say I’m one of the triggered ones. The style of AI writing and coms is also so easily recognizable (…eg it isn’t just a …, but it’s a …). Sad to see how people are being so taken by this. It’s just a tool, a very valuable one, and should be used and treated as such, but it should definitely not be allowed to replace, in any way, genuine human to human conversation

  8. “Drop your thoughts in the comments below—I read every one.”
    And color code them?

    This is somewhat scary (terrifying?) and also inspiring – for good and ill. I’m doing the Quest because AI is here. And I will be joining the conference.
    I’d rather glimpse the possibilities and learn to ride the wave than get tumbled in the rough water of changes I wasn’t watching for.
    Thank you for all the opportunities you and the team bring to the MindValley platform!

  9. As excited as you may be regarding your AI clone, I am finding it difficult to resolve an issue with Mindvalley. It is very frustrating to receive the same answers over and over with no direction to assist to resolve it with a real person that has decision making capabilities. I was a member of the failed Mindvalley-Viome certification that left the graduates with no viable way to make money. Over 200 graduates have unsuccessfully tried to have the situation resolved and our money and time compensated. How do we reach a REAL PERSON? AI cannot be the only avenue.

  10. This video was absolutely the best thing I’ve seen in a very long time. I laughed out loud for sure!
    I especially liked the way it called you out for still Doom scrolling at 1:00 in the morning….
    Been there doing that! Please keep up the most incredible awesome work that you do!

  11. I am thoroughly blown away by the precision and similarity. I absolutely would not have guessed which is which. Brilliant. The scripting was like watching a fun commercial at an amusement park or a movie preview. I suddenly wanted popcorn. I enjoyed every minute and genuinely laughed. Great job. I am intrigued and can’t wait to learn more.

  12. Absolutely loved the AI interview with yourself! Especially the humor and roasting abilities. Vishen, you have always been on my top 10 list of people I’d love to have over for dinner… If you’re not available, just send your AI!

  13. This is hilarious!
    Love how you take the p*** out of yourself.
    If anything, this made you really human.
    Thanks for going first.
    Sam

  14. Loved the Ai clone. Can’t believe how real-life it looked. The interview was seamless, like you were talking to another person. Highly impressive. Brilliant actually. I want to learn how to do this!

  15. Hilarious interview! I especially love how humanizing AI you is to human you! As if he knows what it’s like to be human!!! 😂👏👏

    (Also love how every-day human you seem when not on stage speaking)

    In all seriousness, fantastic tool!

  16. Spooky! Really spooky – but sooooo good! Love your work Vishen. I’m a dip in, dip out kinda Mindvalley guy – but a big fan and always recommend you guys to everyone I work with. Bob Procter abundance meditation is my go to – big thanks for this. Look forward to meeting you one day. Making a commitment for A fest 2026. Cheers Peter

  17. AI should have been regulated from the start.
    Seeing this video informs me as to how dangerous its use can be.
    Note: btw, I was scammed out of renewing my membership, when I did not want to…making you $200 richer, and me, poorer and angry.
    Tried to reconcile thus, but only dealt with AI on your website.
    Lack of human contact does not make your company better, nor efficient.
    Very disappointing.
    Sadly, Narcissism rules.
