"I'll be the first to admit: as a software architect and AI programmer, the idea of having a digital stand-in take over some of my workload is incredibly tempting. I spend countless nights immersed in code, tuning models, and building tools that push the edge of what's possible. AI already assists me with the repetitive parts - auto-generating tests, cleaning data, catching bugs I might overlook at 12 a.m."
"The more I thought about it (perhaps while staring up at code), the more I realized how much you stand to lose by letting AI take over being you. I've built my little community by sharing my genuine excitement and wonder for programming, the app store, and development technology. People follow me because they connect with ADM (and me), the real person behind the keyboard - not some algorithm in my image."
Cloning or creating algorithmic doubles promises greater productivity and uninterrupted output for creators. AI already handles repetitive programming tasks such as auto-generating tests, cleaning data, and catching late-night bugs. Content creators increasingly hand over control to AI to avoid missed deadlines, sleep loss, and burnout. Full replacement by an AI likeness risks eroding authenticity, betraying audience trust, and damaging the personal connection that sustains communities. A creator's genuine excitement and human presence remain central to follower engagement. Trends toward AI aliasing among influencers raise ethical and relational concerns that demand cautious evaluation.
