Episode notes
AI Avatars Look Good But Can Feel Robotic
- Fully automated AI avatars can generate shorts end-to-end but risk harming a personal brand due to the uncanny valley effect.
- Adam tested HeyGen plus Gemini, Appify, Replicate and found movement and vibrance still felt slightly robotic.
Demo Of HeyGen Avatar Felt Close But Uncanny
- Adam demoed a HeyGen avatar short that used extracted B-roll and an 11Labs voice; viewers found it close but noticeably robotic.
- The avatar sat in a 50/50 split scene with AI-extracted b-roll sourced from the original long video.
Three Signals Are Enough To Auto Clip Videos
- Combining transcript, visual analysis and audio waveform lets you programmatically identify clean clip points and irrelevant segments.
- Adam feeds Gemini analysis plus timestamps and decibel data to auto-slice long recordings into candidate shorts.
