š« Stop Sending Me AI Clones in the DMs
Something weird thatās popping up more and more on social media especially LinkedIn latelyā¦
People are sliding into DMs with AI-generated videos pretending to be them. š¤š„
You know the ones. Their face, their voice⦠but somethingās off. Itās giving ādeepfake sales repā energy.
āHey there, Angeli! I wanted to personally connectā¦ā š
Sorry I donāt want a video from fake you.
If you didnāt take the time to record a quick messageāor even type one out yourselfāwhy should I believe you care about connecting with me?
Iām not anti-AI. I teach lawyers how to use AI responsibly.
I build businesses on AI. I love this tech. But I also know this:
š¤ Authenticity still wins.
When your outreach starts with an AI clone of your face and voice, it doesnāt feel innovative.
It feels inauthentic. Lazy. Even creepy.
Hereās what it really signals:
ā You didnāt care enough to show up.
ā You outsourced your credibility.
ā You missed a real chance to connect.
š” Want to stand out? Try this instead:
šÆ Record a real video if thatās your thingāunedited, 60 seconds, just you.
šÆ Use AI to help research and personalizeāthen speak in your actual human voice.
šÆ Or just write a thoughtful DM. That still works, too.
AI should help you move fasterānot make you faker.
So next time youāre about to send that synthetic avatar out into the world, ask yourself:
š Would I send this to someone I admire?
š Would I feel good receiving this from someone I trust?
š Would this make my grandma proud?
If not⦠donāt send it. Just be real.
šÆ Because in a world full of AI clones, authenticity is your superpower.
