🧠 Agency sick of egotistic influencers creates AI model, and she’s making up to $11,000 per month

Frustrated with unreliable real-life influencers, a Spanish modeling agency created an AI virtual model who earns up to $11,000 monthly. Her designer, Rubén Cruz, said projects were frequently stalled due to "the fault of the influencer or model." So his team built their ideal AI avatar - Aitana Lopez, a fierce, pink-haired 25-year-old whose Instagram following tops 160,000 followers.

Aitana not only stars in ads and supplements for major brands, but also entertains Fanvue subscribers with exclusive content. Yet behind the scenes, she is 100% fabricated, her entire existence reverse-engineered from trend analyses. Each week, her creators plot out Aitana's fake life, using Photoshop to make her appear places like Madrid. Some celebrities even asked her out, not realizing that she isn't real.

While Cruz believes virtual influencers like Aitana make branding more affordable and reliable, critics argue her impossible perfection risks fostering unhealthy beauty standards.

CHATGPT

💬 How to use ‘ChatGPT with voice’ instead of Siri as your iPhone 15 Pro’s default Assistant

With ChatGPT's newly free voice feature, iPhone 15 Pro/Max owners can now ditch Siri and make GPT-4 their go-to voice assistant. By reconfiguring the Action Button in Settings to trigger a hands-free ChatGPT session when pressed, queries become far more powerful.

Here’s how to do it:

• Download the Shortcuts app from the Apple Store

• Go into your iPhone settings and select the Action Button menu

• Tap Shortcut

• Tap "Choose a Shortcut"

• Scroll down and select the ChatGPT app

• Tap the shortcut "Start voice conversation" to set it as the Action Button trigger

Now, anytime you press and hold the Action Button, a hands-free ChatGPT session will start instantly. Ask complex questions, get translations, writing assistance and more - all just by speaking. If you prefer to talk to Siri, you can still do so the old-fashioned way.
