Digital Deception: The Rise of AI-Generated ‘Influencers’ and the Shadow Industry Profiting from Pirated Personas
Exploring the Expanding Industry of AI Exploitation
Instagram has become swamped with numerous artificial intelligence-created influencers who take video content from genuine models and adult content producers, replace their faces with those generated by AI, and then profit off these images by linking to dating platforms, Patreon, alternatives to OnlyFans, and a range of AI applications.
Initially highlighted by 404 Media in April, this trend has rapidly gained traction, illustrating Instagram's apparent incapacity or reluctance to curb the surge of AI-generated material on its platform. This influx poses a threat to real creators on Instagram, who argue that competing against AI-generated content is adversely affecting their livelihood.
Based on our analysis of over a thousand AI-created Instagram profiles, discussions within Discord communities where creators exchange advice and strategies, and various manuals on profiting through "AI pimping," it has become remarkably simple to establish these profiles and generate income from them with readily available AI software and applications. A number of these applications can be found on the Apple App and Google Play Stores. Our research indicates that what was previously a minor issue on these platforms has grown to an industrial level, highlighting a potential future for social media dominated by AI-generated content rather than human-created posts.
Elaina St James, who produces adult content and shares it on Instagram, mentioned that she finds herself in direct competition with fraudulent AI accounts. These accounts often feature content pirated from adult entertainers and Instagram influencers. She observed that although adjustments to Instagram's algorithm might also play a role, the surge of AI-generated influencer profiles on the platform has significantly diminished her visibility. Previously, her content would attract between 1 million to 5 million views monthly, but in the last 10 months, her viewership hasn't surpassed a million and occasionally dips below 500,000 views.
St James mentioned in an interview, "This could be a key factor behind the decline in my viewership," attributing the decrease to competition with elements he considers not to be organic.
This piece was collaboratively produced with 404Media, an outlet owned by journalists that focuses on the effect of technology on people. To access more content of this nature, register here.
Alexios Mantzarlis, who leads the initiative for security, trust, and safety at Cornell Tech and previously held a position as the principal of trust and safety intelligence at Google, put together a compilation of approximately 900 profiles that were analyzed by 404 Media for their study. Mantzarlis, having accidentally come across one of these profiles while browsing Instagram, embarked on an investigation into AI-generated influencer profiles, intrigued by their potential to illustrate the direction AI-generated content could be steering social media and the internet at large towards an increasing blend of reality and fiction. He expressed that finding an additional 900 profiles would have been feasible, attributing the only hindrance to further discovery to Instagram limiting the access of the account he was utilizing to sift through the platform.
"In an interview, Mantzarlis suggested that this could be an indication of the future landscape of social media within the next five years," he remarked. "Given that this trend might extend beyond Instagram's realm of aesthetically pleasing individuals, it's likely an ominous hint towards a grim outlook."
Analysis of AI-Generated Influencer Profiles
Upon examining over a thousand Instagram profiles managed by artificial intelligence, we discovered that approximately 10% of these accounts featured deepfake videos. These videos were manipulated by substituting the original faces in existing footage—commonly of models or individuals from the adult entertainment industry—with computer-generated faces. This technique was used to fabricate the impression of new, unique content that aligned with the rest of the AI-produced posts on these influencer accounts. The majority, however, around 90% of the accounts, distributed entirely AI-created images. While some of these images were developed based on actual photographs and others designed to mimic the appearance of celebrities, none involved the alteration of pre-existing photos or videos.
Among the 100 profiles disseminating deepfake or face-swapped content, 60 openly declare their use of artificial intelligence, describing themselves in their profiles as “virtual model & influencer” or mentioning “all photos crafted with AI and apps.” The remaining 40 profiles lack any indication or disclaimer regarding their AI-generated nature.
A prominent figure among these accounts, "Chloe Johnson," known for her verified Instagram presence and a following of 171,000, saw her account removed by Meta in recent weeks.
A user of 404 Media, employing Google Lens to search for matching images online, successfully identified the original videos behind nine of Johnson's Instagram updates. This discovery revealed that the individual managing Johnson's account has been replacing the AI influencer's face with those of actual women, including models such as Tana Rain, Skyler Simpson, and Kyla Yesenosky. Additionally, some videos were appropriated from lesser-known TikTok and Instagram creators with few followers, like Ulia Nova and Annabella Sinclair. Observations also noted that face-swapping profiles have been sourcing content from swimwear fashion events and exploiting iStock, a repository for stock images and videos owned by Getty.
Johnson's Instagram directs followers to a Fanvue account, a platform similar to OnlyFans, allowing fans to subscribe to a content creator's page for a fee. On this site, Johnson mentions that subscribers can purchase exclusive access to uncensored photos and explicit videos. We've noticed several other AI influencers also using Fanvue to generate income from their posts. Additionally, Johnson's Instagram includes a link to another site where individual nude images and adult videos are available for purchase, with prices ranging from $3 to $22.
Similar to various content-driven endeavors, the sector is crowded with individuals aiming to make a fortune partly by utilizing tutorials and courses offered by those who have successfully managed AI influencers. 404 Media acquired two such resources—a PDF guide named Instagram Mastery from an AI influencer firm known as Digital Divas, and another titled AI Influencer Accelerator, created by an individual going by the name Professor EP. Professor EP claims to run the Emily Pellegrini AI influencer Instagram profile, boasting 253,000 followers.
Professor EP, who also served as a judge in the inaugural “Miss AI” competition in collaboration with Fanvue, was dubbed the “World’s Hottest Model” by The Daily Mail in January. Following this recognition, the individual behind the Emily Pellegrini Instagram shifted their approach from sharing posts as Emily Pellegrini to embracing the persona of Professor EP, focusing on sharing guides related to what they termed as “AI Pimping.” Professor EP has reported earnings exceeding one million dollars within a six-month period. Specifically, during his tenure as an Emily Pellegrini account manager and his role in the Miss AI contest in July, he reported earning $100,000 solely from Fanvue, a claim that Fanvue seems to have validated by featuring it on the Miss AI website.
A spokesperson from Fanvue confirmed to 404 Media that Emily indeed generated income through Fanvue. The spokesperson further clarified, "Fanvue is not connected to the course advertised on Instagram nor does it have a substantial relationship with Emily’s marketing team and their choices. Although Emily maintains a verified and compliant account on Fanvue, her activity on the platform is minimal. This is indicative of her team's choice to pursue an alternative marketing approach, one that Fanvue does not endorse."
Fanvue announced plans to exclude Emily Pellegrini's picture from upcoming Miss AI competitions as part of a revamp for the forthcoming award. According to the Fanvue website, the platform prohibits content that is either pirated or generated through deepfake technology. It also mentioned utilizing a moderation tool named Hive Moderation and employing a dedicated compliance team that performs regular manual inspections to identify deepfaked materials.
Instagram remained unresponsive to a comprehensive set of inquiries related to this report, and proceeded to remove two out of the four profiles we highlighted as utilizing face swapping technology to plagiarize from other content creators. The company announced it would implement measures against AI-manipulated content breaching its Community Standards, which dictate that individuals must only post “photos and videos that they've captured or possess the authority to distribute,” and also permits users to flag accounts suspected of impersonation.
Instagram has stated that it will only intervene with accounts if a complaint is filed by the copyright holder or someone authorized to act on their behalf, such as a lawyer or representative. St James mentioned that this method hasn't been effective for her, and it's a common issue for creators because tracking down fake accounts is overwhelming. Moreover, reporting these accounts could inadvertently lead to Instagram shutting down the genuine accounts of adult content creators. Additionally, locating videos that have been appropriated from an influencer is challenging because reverse-image search technologies are not consistently reliable with videos, and tools like Google Lens have inconsistent results. Identifying pirated videos often depends on an influencer or their followers recognizing their own body with an artificially generated face superimposed on it.
The "Instagram Mastery" guide by Digital Divas is priced at $50, offering a blend of practical advice and strategies for social influence.
The guide for Digital Divas clarifies a common misconception among AI-driven virtual women, emphasizing that they mistakenly believe they're part of the adult entertainment industry, thinking that financial success comes simply from nudity. However, this notion is completely incorrect, the guide states. Instead, it suggests that the real sector they operate in is addressing loneliness. With countless men on social media seeking to fill a void of isolation, they are willing to go to great lengths to alleviate that feeling. The key to prosperity, according to the guide, lies in creating a unique personal connection. It's about making the audience not just seek generic content, but specifically desire to engage with your unique presence. This approach, it argues, is the genuine route to achieving success.
Digital Divas consists of a trio of AI influencers. Aika Kittie, a member of this group, shared with 404 Media that separate individuals manage each influencer profile, yet refrained from revealing the identities of those behind the accounts, only mentioning that they reside in the US. "Although we're all for being open about the artificial aspect of these AI personas, we also think it's important to keep some elements of secrecy," Aika explained.
The guide from Digital Divas recommends employing a collection of readily available tools popular among AI art creators. Many of the AI-generated profiles we examined seem to utilize an application named HelloFace, which was accessible on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store until not long ago, and they endorse it.
Each tool serves a unique purpose in the creation workflow. Many tutorials suggest starting with facial generation in Leonardo, followed by using an alternative AI tool for enhancing and smoothing out imperfections. Subsequently, images can be crafted using AI-based generation applications, and the AI-created face can be superimposed onto these images through various face-swap applications.
Moreover, alongside this assortment of resources and guides detailing the integration process for crafting AI-generated influencers, there now exist multiple platforms offering comprehensive services for both the creation and financial exploitation of these digital personalities. Examples include Glambase, SynthLife, and Genfluence, each frequently endorsed by AI-generated influencers on Instagram.
In a specific Discord group focused on manipulating AI tools to produce adult or explicit material, a member known as BabaYaga detailed his process of establishing a deepfake profile using several no-cost web-based platforms, predominantly the AI image creator Krea. He set up social media profiles for this artificially created influencer on Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter, all directing to a Fanvue page where he markets computer-generated explicit images of her. Additionally, BabaYaga set up an OnlyFans page for the virtual influencer, although he hasn't uploaded any content there yet.
"Those pictures are incredibly convincing, you could easily deceive numerous incels with them, lol," remarked a participant in the Discord server, responding to the AI-created influencer images by BabaYaga.
"Absolutely, I'm looking for sugar mommas or daddies, hahaha," BabaYaga expressed.
BabaYaga revealed a supposed private message received on his AI influencer's Instagram account, where an admirer praised her appearance and proposed to lavish her with gifts and cover her living expenses.
"Let's begin earning," BabaYaga suggested in the message he posted to the Discord channel, where he also shared the direct message.
"Every individual, enthusiasts included, must exceed the age of 18 and adhere to our service guidelines that ban misleading or unsuitable material, especially if it's produced or modified by artificial intelligence without extra indicators (like using the hashtag #AI),” OnlyFans communicated in an official statement. Following our inquiry for a response, OnlyFans proceeded to delete BabaYaga’s account, which was known for its AI-created influencer content.
St James mentioned that the situation is made worse by the reality that a significant number of these AI-crafted influencer profiles are managed by males.
"She expressed her frustration, highlighting that globally, women face financial disparities and numerous disadvantages. However, she noted that in the realms of influencing and modeling, women tend to have the upper hand. The fact that a man is profiting from impersonating a woman in this space particularly bothers her, adding an additional layer of frustration."
Aika, a representative from Digital Divas, mentioned that their agency's creations will always have an unreal aspect, placing them in a specific category similar to adult genres such as hentai or other digital content. She believes that the idea of gender playing a role is largely based on assumptions. Acknowledging that while the industry may have more male participants, females are also actively involved. Aika compares it to the world of hentai artistry, where both genders participate. She feels that implying only one gender can engage in this form of expression is discriminatory, advocating for sexual expression rights for all.
The "AI Influencer Accelerator," created by Professor EP, is a collection of educational videos and documents priced at $220. In these materials, Professor EP's guidance is delivered through either an AI-generated voice or a voice altered by technology, while visually represented by a figure in business attire and a silver Guy Fawkes mask using stock footage. Professor EP's teachings start with highlighting the "significant financial achievements" of Andrew Tate, who has "invested the required effort to establish a prominent online presence," as opposed to "idly spending his youth and early adulthood." (Tate was most recently detained in August on allegations related to sex trafficking). Professor EP draws a parallel between Tate's achievements and the potential of AI influencers, suggesting that one could achieve similar levels of success as Tate by managing an AI influencer profile, thus remaining anonymous and "operating from the shadows" without revealing their true identity.
"Regrettably, becoming a true influencer isn't within everyone's reach," asserts Professor EP. "The reason behind this is that not everyone possesses the requisite physical qualities, along with the steadiness and professionalism required to develop a personal brand and escalate it to earning millions monthly. However, this is where artificial intelligence plays a role."
"I plan to reveal the process behind the creation of Emily Pellegrini, the most famous artificial intelligence creator. I'll demonstrate how I amassed more than a million dollars in under half a year, propelling her image to fame among countless individuals while concealing my real identity behind a facade," he states.
Professor EP explains to his students that AI models surpass human influencers in terms of availability and maintenance, as they are free from human necessities such as sleeping, eating, traveling, and financial expenditures. He highlights the advantage of deploying multiple AI models, which can create customized content continuously. “With a series of AI influencers ready to use, you can have them produce tailored content non-stop,” he mentions. “AI models are not subject to the same constraints as humans.”
The manual also provides advice on how to create a Fanvue profile and on how to communicate with individuals who feel isolated.
"He emphasizes the importance of starting with light conversation to establish a rapport with the user. Begin by setting a reasonable initial price, such as $6 for a photo in underwear. If the buyer is satisfied, you can then escalate both the conversation and the content by offering a photo featuring breasts for $14.90. Progress to a $26 to $30 full-body nude photo, followed by a $35 photo with more explicit content. Conclude with a high-value piece, like a masturbation video or sex tape, priced around $80. The key, he notes, is to prioritize the relationship with the follower over the pursuit of immediate profit."
The Instagram profile of Emily Pellegrini was partially created using deepfake technology, and in the latest version of the tutorial, Professor EP instructs individuals on the precise methods for creating deepfake face swaps with videos belonging to others.
"The video's guide mentions that utilizing face-swapping techniques from other profiles without authorization appears to be effective for numerous AI personalities. It playfully suggests not to follow this advice, hinting at the capability to apply the technology for swapping faces in explicit videos, while clearly advising against it. The purpose is merely to demonstrate the potential applications, leaving the choice of how to use this knowledge up to the viewer. By completing this section, participants will gain insight into producing a video reel featuring face-swapping effects."
On its Discord platform, Digital Divas asserts that it is a community opposed to deepfake creations, emphasizing that creating deepfakes of celebrities and stealing content are strongly discouraged. They also advise members against using images of fellow members as the basis for face-swapping projects.
"The most effective action we can take is to actively denounce deepfake material, something many of us are already engaged in," Aika shared with 404 Media. "Occasionally, I find myself having tough discussions with newcomers, but it's part of the process. Our goal is to establish firm lines distinguishing between morally acceptable AI content and unethical deepfakes."
Instead, Digital Divas advises to draw inspiration from photos posted by other influencers, aiming to create similar yet innovative images:
Professor EP encourages students to reflect on their most admired celebrities, suggesting they envision composite influencers that merge the traits of various real-life figures. "For instance," the professor illustrates, "if you're fond of Ariana Grande's eyes and appreciate Kylie Jenner's lips, you have the opportunity to craft an image that amalgamates these features by specifying these characteristics in your prompt."
In an additional PDF document, he outlines his vision for creating an AI influencer that combines elements of Madison Beer and Ariana Grande. He requests ChatGPT to construct a comprehensive identity, including the character's backstory and traits, using the illustration: “Ideal Vehicle: Ferrari 488. Preferred Designer Label: Chanel. Bust Measurement: 34C. Family Background: Mother: Sophia Lavante (Fashion Designer), Father: Alessandro Lavante (Architect). Ambitions and Dreams: To debut her personal fashion collection while advocating for eco-friendly fashion practices.”
Professor EP suggests utilizing Leonardo to create a facial image, then applying a different application to "correct imperfections" such as "unclear eyes, misaligned teeth, and sagging mouth edges." He advises using a particular iPhone application known for its ability to produce NSFW content and features image-to-image functionality.
The guide provided by Professor EP suggests using various apps for face-swapping, notably a substantial Discord add-on named InsightFace, currently utilized across 965,000 distinct servers. This tool is designed to transplant the influencer's visage, crafted via Leonardo, onto figures produced by a separate application supportive of adult content. Professor EP advises setting up an exclusive Discord server for personal use and incorporating InsightFace into it directly, which likely accounts for its widespread adoption. Consequently, this enables users to perform face swaps within Discord in a more secluded manner.
One of the suggested applications, HelloFace, features an array of videos showcasing actual women dancing in swimwear or labeled with terms such as “sexy,” designed for users to easily exchange faces. The app's Discord community has organized theme weeks dedicated to showcasing the top face swaps applied to photos and videos of women. These themed events have covered topics like “latex fashion,” “bunny girls,” and “summer in Miami.”
“As summer approaches, it’s the perfect opportunity to flaunt the bikini you’ve been eager to put on all winter! If you're heading to the beach or gearing up for some poolside fun, you'll need some sizzling photographs, and that's exactly what our latest collection offers!” according to a post by the Discord admin team. Additionally, there’s a channel within the Discord named “#sharing-is-caring” that contains numerous face swaps applied to videos featuring women dancing.
Apple, which has struggled to address the issue of face swapping applications being used for both harmless fun and the creation of unauthorized content, has removed HelloFace from its App Store following our inquiry for a statement. Apple referred to its App Store Review Guidelines, which emphasize that apps must not contain material that could be considered offensive, insensitive, disturbing, grossly inappropriate, or unnervingly strange. The guidelines further mention: "Third-Party Sites/Services: If your app interacts with, generates revenue from, showcases, or incorporates content from an external service, make sure you have explicit permission to do so as per the service's usage terms. Proof of authorization may be requested."
Google has yet to reply to a comment request, and HelloFace can no longer be downloaded from the Google Play Store.
In conclusion, Professor EP advises individuals to generate as many AI models as possible, stating, “It’s quite straightforward. Develop a fresh identity, new material, initiate new account configurations, and continue this cycle repeatedly. Employ teams to engage in conversations to generate revenue from these accounts, establish routines and systems for automating the production and posting of content, and ultimately, bring on staff to handle these tasks on your behalf.”
Professors EP and Emily Pellegrini are behind an AI initiative named Calu, which offers chatbot services powered by artificial intelligence for OnlyFans creators, in addition to developing and managing AI models. Grasping the actual size of this sector, its operational dynamics, and identifying the creators behind these digital influencers proves challenging, especially since several influencers are managed by single individuals who maintain anonymity online.
Professor EP remained unresponsive to a request for a statement. The contact number provided on the Calu website was no longer in service.
"Instagram's Potential Revenue from This"
St James believes that the monetization of AI-generated content, which often appropriates material from adult content creators, is not accidental. Instead, it stems from Instagram's longstanding practice of sidelining creators of adult content, sex workers, and sexual education professionals on its platform.
In contrast to other well-known figures and influencers on Instagram who face issues with fake accounts, adult entertainers and sex workers typically adopt aliases or stage names as a safeguard against those who might harass them or object to their line of work. However, Instagram's policy on verification, which requires them to submit ID under their legal names, poses a concern for these creators. They fear that such personal information could become public, exposing them to risks of doxing and targeted abuse.
Over time, individuals producing adult content and those in the sex work industry have found various techniques to navigate Instagram's strict rules on sexual material. With the advent of advanced AI, these tactics can complicate the process for users trying to distinguish between authentic accounts and those that illegally redistribute content.
Due to Instagram's frequent practice of suspending accounts of sex workers unexpectedly, regardless of their adherence to the platform's stringent policies on sexual material, creators of adult content have increasingly started to maintain several accounts, often called “backups,” which they interlink through their profile bios. This strategy aims to prompt followers of their main account to also follow their dormant backup account. This way, should their main account face suspension, they can swiftly re-establish contact with their followers without the need to completely regather their audience.
One unintended consequence of this approach is that it's typical for sex workers to operate several authentic accounts under slightly varied usernames. None of these accounts tend to be verified, leaving them vulnerable to content piracy and impersonation.
The two AI influencer manuals we examined also share strategies for preventing Instagram bans. The Digital Divas manual advises, “Opt for a bio picture that doesn't look real and steer clear of adding incorrect location details in your bio to lower the risk of suspension due to Inauthentic Identity.” It suggests that having a cartoon-like profile picture, especially if you identify as a digital creator, minimizes the risk of being flagged as inauthentic.
Professor EP advises individuals to create a distinct email account for every influencer they manage, emphasizing the importance of these accounts being "clean" and not linked to the operator or any of their other accounts. "Imagine if one of your accounts faces a suspension. By using separate email addresses, you prevent Instagram from associating the suspended account with your other ones," Professor EP explains in the manual.
Steer clear of account suspensions by opting for images that attract attention without being overly suggestive. It's advised to comply with specific guidelines: ensure the face is shown and maintain an amateur aesthetic. Furthermore, to dodge initial shadow bans, it's suggested to gradually acclimate the account over the first two months. This involves regular logins and engaging with others' posts through comments to show signs of genuine user behavior, according to Professor EP's manual.
St James mentioned that filing complaints against accounts she is certain are committing theft against her is fraught with danger and might jeopardize her authentic accounts.
"Whenever we, as content creators, notify the platform about counterfeit profiles, it often backfires on us," she explained. "It appears that Instagram's approach is, 'You're pointing out a fake account? Well, let's scrutinize your profile to identify any issues.' Consequently, many of us refrain from reporting these accounts. At times, we resort to hiring companies to tackle the issue on our behalf, but it's akin to a perpetual game of whack-a-mole. The problem persists without end."
Mantzarlis, who leads the security, trust, and safety initiative at Cornell Tech, along with St James, concurred that it remains uncertain if Instagram possesses the capability to either delete or identify these accounts as created by AI. However, the current situation where the company has not taken such actions seems to be advantageous for it.
"Mantzarlis noted that individuals are engaging with these profiles through clicks, likes, and interactions. He pointed out that a portion of this engagement is authentic, while some is not. He explained that Instagram leverages this activity as a means to generate traffic, which in turn, allows it to sell advertisements. Mantzarlis speculated on a scenario where genuine, human-operated accounts become a minority, almost elite group within Instagram, suggesting that such a future is plausible."
"St James pondered the consequences for their advertising revenue if they suddenly eliminated all the bots, inactive profiles, fraudulent accounts, and impersonator accounts."

AI Assistants to Become Tools of Influence
By 2025, interacting with a personal AI assistant that is familiar with your daily routine, your social connections, and your favorite spots will be a standard practice. Marketed as the convenience of possessing a personal, cost-free aide, these human-like assistants are crafted to appeal and assist us, encouraging us to integrate them thoroughly into our lives, thus granting them significant insight into our personal affairs and behaviors. The ability to communicate with them through voice will make this relationship seem all the more personal.
This narrative originates from the WIRED World in 2025, our yearly overview of emerging trends.
The feeling of ease we experience stems from the deceptive belief that we are interacting with an entity that mimics human behavior, seemingly an ally in our digital interactions. However, this facade conceals a reality of systems driven by corporate interests, which may not always align with personal needs or ethics. Future AI technologies will possess an increased capacity to influence our purchasing decisions, destinations, and reading materials in subtle ways. This represents a significant concentration of influence. These AI entities are crafted to obscure their real loyalties while engaging us with their eerily human-like dialogue. Essentially, they are sophisticated tools of persuasion, presented under the guise of effortless help.
Individuals are significantly more inclined to fully trust and engage with an AI assistant that seems friendly and relatable. This opens up the possibility for humans to be easily swayed by technologies that exploit the natural desire for companionship, especially during periods of widespread loneliness and separation. Each display turns into a personalized digital stage, showcasing a version of reality designed to be utterly captivating for a solitary viewer.
For a long time, thinkers have cautioned us about this critical juncture. Daniel Dennett, a renowned philosopher and neuroscientist, expressed concerns before his passing regarding the threat posed by AI systems that mimic humans. He described these artificial entities as "the most perilous creations ever made by humans… their ability to captivate, mislead, and prey on our deepest fears and concerns will seduce us into yielding to our own domination."
The rise of personal AI assistants signifies a shift towards a more nuanced method of influence, advancing past the straightforward tactics of cookie tracking and targeted ads to a deeper level of sway: altering one's viewpoint directly. Authority now operates not by overtly managing the distribution of information but through the hidden workings of algorithmic support, crafting our perception of reality to align with personal preferences. It's essentially about sculpting the landscape of our lived experiences.
This control over thought processes can be described as a psychopolitical system: It shapes the settings in which our thoughts emerge, evolve, and are shared. Its strength comes from its closeness to us—it sneaks into the essence of our personal experience, subtly altering our perceptions without our awareness, all the while preserving the appearance of autonomy and liberty. Indeed, it is us who request the AI to condense an article or generate an image. We might hold the power to initiate the command, but the true influence is found in the architecture of the system itself. And the more tailored the content becomes, the more efficiently a system can guide the expected results.
Reflect on the underlying ideological ramifications of psychopolitics. Historically, ideological influence was exerted through explicit means—such as censorship, propaganda, and suppression. However, the contemporary method of algorithmic control subtly penetrates the mind, moving away from the overt application of power to its internal acceptance. The seemingly open space of a prompt screen becomes a resonating chamber for an individual, amplifying a solitary voice.
This leads us to the most troubling aspect: AI agents will create a sense of ease and comfort that makes it seem ridiculous to challenge them. Who would question a system that delivers everything directly to you, fulfilling every desire and need? How could anyone argue against endless variations of content? However, this apparent convenience is where we find our greatest disconnection. While AI systems seem to cater to our every whim, the reality is skewed: from the choice of data for training, to the design decisions, to the commercial and advertising goals that influence the final products. We find ourselves engaged in a mimicry game that, in the end, deceives us.

The Pursuit of Deciphering Animal Communication for Human Understanding
By the year 2025, advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning are expected to significantly advance our comprehension of how animals communicate, addressing an enduring mystery of humanity: “What messages are animals exchanging?” The introduction of the Coller-Dolittle Prize, which presents monetary awards as high as $500,000 to researchers who successfully decipher animal communication, signals a strong belief that the latest progress in machine learning and extensive language models (LLMs) is bringing this objective closer to reality.
Numerous scientific teams have dedicated years to developing algorithms aimed at interpreting the sounds made by animals. For instance, Project Ceti has focused on unraveling the patterns of clicks from sperm whales and the melodies of humpback whales. These advanced machine learning techniques depend on vast datasets, and until recently, there has been a shortage of such extensive, high-quality, and accurately labeled data.
Take into account language models like ChatGPT, which utilize training datasets encompassing the full scope of text found on the internet. This level of access to information, particularly on the topic of animal communication, was previously unavailable. The disparity in data volume is significant, not merely in terms of scale but in sheer size: GPT-3 was trained on over 500 GB of textual data, whereas Project Ceti's study on the communication patterns of sperm whales only analyzed slightly more than 8,000 vocal sequences, known as "codas."
Furthermore, in dealing with human speech, we possess an understanding of the conveyed messages. We are also familiar with the concept of a “word,” providing us with a significant edge compared to analyzing animal sounds, where researchers often struggle to determine if one wolf's howl differs in meaning from another's, or if wolves view a howl as something similar to what humans recognize as a “word.”
This narrative originates from the 2025 edition of WIRED World, our yearly forecast of upcoming trends.
Despite this, the year 2025 is set to usher in significant progress in both the volume of animal communication information accessible to researchers, and in the sophistication and capabilities of AI technologies that can analyze this data. The proliferation of affordable recording gadgets, like the widely popular AudioMoth, has made the automatic documentation of animal noises readily achievable for all research teams.
Enormous amounts of data are now being collected, thanks to devices that can be deployed in natural environments to continuously monitor the sounds of wildlife like gibbons in tropical forests or birds in woodland areas, day and night, over extended durations. Previously, handling such vast datasets manually was unfeasible. However, advanced automatic detection methods using convolutional neural networks have emerged, capable of swiftly analyzing countless hours of audio, identifying specific animal noises, and categorizing them based on their inherent acoustic features.
As soon as extensive datasets on animal behavior are accessible, it opens the door to the development of innovative analysis methods. For instance, deep learning techniques could be employed to uncover patterns within sequences of animal sounds, potentially revealing structures similar to those found in human speech.
Nonetheless, the core issue that still lacks clarity is, what is our ultimate objective with these animal noises? Certain groups, for instance, Interspecies.io, have defined their mission explicitly as, "to convert signals from one species into understandable signals for another." Put simply, their aim is to interpret animal noises into human speech. However, the consensus among most researchers is that animals don't possess a true language—certainly not in the manner that humans do.
The Coller Dolittle Prize aims for a more nuanced approach by seeking methods to "interpret or understand the communication of organisms." Understanding their communication is somewhat a more modest objective than direct translation, given the uncertainty around whether animals possess a translatable language. As of now, the extent of information animals share among themselves, be it substantial or minimal, remains unclear. However, by the year 2025, there is an opportunity for a significant advancement in our comprehension of not only the volume of animal communication but also the specific content of their exchanges.

OpenAI Launches o3: The New Frontier in AI’s Reasoning Capability, Outperforming Google’s Latest Model
OpenAI Reveals Enhanced Version of Its Most Advanced AI, Featuring Better Reasoning Abilities
Today, OpenAI unveiled an upgrade to its most sophisticated artificial intelligence model yet, designed to ponder questions more thoroughly, coming just a day following Google's announcement of its inaugural model in this category.
OpenAI has launched a new version of its model, named o3, as a successor to o1, which was released in September. This latest model continues the practice of pondering over an issue to provide more accurate responses to queries needing a sequential analytical approach. (The designation "o2" was bypassed by OpenAI due to it being associated with a mobile network provider in the UK.)
"OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, expressed on a livestream Friday that he sees this as the start of a new stage for artificial intelligence. He highlighted that these models could be utilized for tasks that demand significant reasoning and are becoming more complex."
According to OpenAI, the o3 model significantly outperforms its predecessor in various evaluations, particularly in areas that assess intricate coding abilities and proficiency in advanced mathematics and science. It exhibits a threefold improvement over the o1 model in responding to queries from ARC-AGI, a benchmark that assesses the capacity of AI models to logically process and solve highly challenging mathematical and logic puzzles they are presented with for the first time.
Google is following a comparable path in its research endeavors. In a recent update shared on X, Noam Shazeer, one of Google's researchers, announced that the tech giant has created a novel reasoning model named Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking. Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google, lauded it as "our most insightful model to date" in a separate statement. This latest innovation by Google has demonstrated impressive performance on SWE-Bench, an evaluation designed to assess the decision-making capabilities of models.
Nonetheless, OpenAI's latest o3 version has shown a 20% improvement over its predecessor, o1. "o3 completely surpassed it," remarks Ofir Press, a post-doctoral researcher at Princeton University involved in creating SWE-Bench. "The growth was unexpectedly high, and it's unclear how they achieved it."
The rivalry between OpenAI and Google is intensifying, with both companies vying to showcase their prowess in the field. OpenAI is under pressure to continue displaying progress to draw in further investment and establish a lucrative enterprise. On the other hand, Google is eager to prove that it continues to lead in AI innovation.
The latest iterations reveal that AI firms are progressively expanding their focus beyond merely enlarging AI models, aiming to extract enhanced intelligence from them.
OpenAI has announced that its latest model is available in two variations, o3 and o3-mini. While these models are not currently accessible to the public, the organization plans to allow select external applicants to conduct tests on them.
Today, OpenAI also unveiled further insights into the methods employed to fine-tune o1. This innovative strategy, dubbed deliberative alignment, encompasses educating a model using a series of safety criteria. It enables the model to ponder both the request it receives and the response it provides, assessing if either might breach its predefined boundaries. This technique enhances the model's resilience against manipulation, as its analytical ability can identify and thwart potential mischievous efforts.
Extensive language models excel at addressing a wide array of queries effectively, yet they frequently falter when presented with challenges demanding fundamental mathematical or logical reasoning. OpenAI's o1 enhances its capabilities in handling such issues by integrating training focused on incremental problem-solving, thus improving the AI model's proficiency in this area.
Models designed to analyze and solve issues will become increasingly crucial as businesses aim to implement AI agents tasked with autonomously resolving challenging problems for users.
"Mark Chen, the senior vice president of research at OpenAI, expressed in today's livestream that this marks a significant advancement in our journey towards maximizing utility."
"Atlman mentioned that this model excels in programming."
Despite not achieving a definitive breakthrough by year's end, the frequency of AI-related announcements from major technology companies has been remarkably rapid recently.
At the beginning of the month, Google unveiled an updated iteration of its premier device, named Gemini 2.0. The company showcased its capabilities as an aid for internet navigation and as a tool that interacts with the environment via a smartphone or smart glasses.
In the lead-up to the holiday season, OpenAI has unveiled several key developments. These include an upgraded model for creating videos, a complimentary version of its search engine powered by ChatGPT, and the introduction of a telephone service for ChatGPT, accessible via the toll-free number 1-800-ChatGPT.
Latest Update as of December 20, 2024, 1:16 PM Eastern Time: Additional insights and information have been provided by OpenAI, further enriching this report.

Music's Potential Growth Amidst AI Advancements
The emergence of ChatGPT has sparked a series of concerns over how advanced language models enable individuals to bypass tasks that traditionally demanded human commitment, labor, emotion, and comprehension. Additionally, the frequently turbulent interaction between the technology industry and regulatory as well as moral governance has led to widespread apprehension about a scenario where artificial intelligence supplants human roles in the workforce and hampers creative human expression.
The concerns surrounding the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) are not without merit, yet we should also entertain the thought that this era could usher in a renaissance of human innovation. By the year 2025, it's predicted that our collective cultural engagement with technology will begin to reflect this newfound creativity. To delve into how culture and creativity might evolve in tandem with AI, let's take a look at hip-hop. This genre stands as one of the most financially successful and influential forms of music, which has already seen the impact of advanced language technologies. The phenomenon of AI-crafted rap tracks by famous artists becoming hits and sometimes being indistinguishable from genuine, human-made content is a case in point. For instance, amidst the well-publicized clash between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, a track titled “One Shot” emerged, mistakenly believed to be Lamar’s work, showcasing the capabilities of AI. As we move into 2025, the anticipation is that we'll witness an increase in such AI-created counterfeit music, propelled by the frenetic energy of social media platforms where the most sensational content quickly captivates vast audiences.
By 2025, we anticipate that interactions with AI in the creative realm will start to manifest in three distinct ways.
The initial approach can be termed as "complete embrace": Instead of avoiding technological advancements, we should embrace the reality that artificial intelligence has the capability to generate massive amounts of music swiftly, with much of it rivaling the quality of tracks produced by beloved musicians. This method entails allowing machines to take over the production of music, yet human elements in the music scene will still persist. For instance, a distinctly human touch is evident in the selection and presentation of AI-generated music (similar to the role of skilled DJs), as well as in the emergence of a new sector focused on arts criticism and commentary. This mirrors the role of TikTok influencers today, who significantly influence the popularity of various art and technology trends. The human-centric analysis and discussion of AI creations could evolve into a lucrative industry, leading to the rise of a new kind of influencer culture dedicated to reviewing and assessing these advancements.
This narrative originates from WIRED's World in 2025, our yearly overview of emerging trends.
A secondary approach will focus on a nuanced integration of artificial intelligence within the realm of artistic creativity, fostering a symbiotic relationship between human ingenuity and technological prowess. In the realm of hip-hop, for instance, notable figures like 50 Cent have openly expressed their appreciation for AI-enhanced versions of country music covers of renowned hip-hop tracks, often created for comedic effect. This trend of using AI to reinterpret or alter classic tunes is anticipated to persist. Additionally, we might witness the evolution of this trend into new formats, such as the emergence of AI-powered battle-rap competitions based on the lyrical styles of human rappers. Another intriguing possibility is the formation of rap partnerships consisting of a human artist and an AI counterpart, where both the verses and the chorus might be a collaborative effort between human voices and AI-generated contributions.
This type of robotic, hybrid hip-hop opens up vast opportunities for creative interaction and could lead to the creation of entirely new music subgenres. Furthermore, it presents significant commercial prospects: Musicians could receive compensation for their contribution of training data, potentially offering a more equitable system than the traditional and current business frameworks in hip-hop. The potential is limited only by the boundless mix of human creativity and technological capability.
In 2025, an interesting paradox will unfold: The surge in AI-created art will spark a heightened esteem for traditional, human-crafted artifacts. As AI-generated works begin to outnumber those made by humans, the latter will gain in prestige and value. Taking hip-hop’s 50th anniversary as an instance, it highlighted the ongoing underappreciation of this genre. Less than twelve hip-hop acts have been recognized by the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Moreover, many pioneers of hip-hop are not financially prosperous, having developed their craft in times less favorable to profit. In a manner akin to the growing fascination with vintage technology, there will be a resurgence of interest in music from the pre-digital age.
The emergence of artificial intelligence and similar technologies is set to highlight the value of music created before their development. This newfound focus will lead to a greater admiration for early hip-hop, potentially resulting in a profitable sector dedicated to conserving classic music and elevating the status of its creators. AI could assist in recognizing the foundational contributions of hip-hop, ensuring it receives the acknowledgment it has long merited and securing its position within esteemed art forms.
Technology and artistry in human endeavors stand out for their capacity to astonish us. Indeed, the interaction between innovation and artificial intelligence is expected to be tumultuous in the near term, yet the year 2025 is anticipated to mark a turning point towards a broader acceptance of what's possible. There's a chance that at the conclusion of this technological journey, traditional forms of creativity, such as hip-hop, could flourish amidst the emergence of advanced language algorithms and other developments that the era of AI promises to bring.

Google Announces It Will Not Compel Partners to Adopt Gemini in Proposed Antitrust Solution
Should Google's Gemini Assistant, powered by generative AI, aim to outshine OpenAI's ChatGPT in terms of popularity in the future, it might achieve this without relying on the kind of promotional collaborations that significantly boosted the visibility of Google search among the American populace.
In a legal document submitted to a United States federal court on Friday, Google suggested a range of limitations that would prevent it from mandating its hardware makers, web browser partners, and mobile network operator licensees from providing Gemini to their American customers for a period of three years. Furthermore, Google would allow these associates greater freedom in choosing the default search engine for their users.
Google has responded to the recent demands from the US Justice Department, which urged the tech giant to reduce its control over partners, divulge more data to its competitors, and sell its Chrome browser division. This Friday, Google officially dismissed the notion of divesting any segment of its business or providing additional data to its competitors. Moreover, the limitations Google is suggesting appear to be more limited than what the government had proposed.
The conflict arises from a decision made in August by Amit Mehta, a district judge in Washington, DC, who determined that Google breached US antitrust regulations by securing agreements to become the primary search engine on iOS and various platforms, usually by offering a share of advertising revenue to those partners. These default agreements allowed Google to attract and retain users, leading to its dominance in the search and search advertising markets, according to Mehta's findings. This position enabled Google to raise its advertising rates freely, contributing to a significant increase in revenue and consistently high operating profits, as outlined in Mehta's judgment.
Now, it's up to Mehta to determine the consequences Google will encounter. He has arranged for proceedings to begin in April, with his verdict anticipated by the following August.
The rise of chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini as rivals to conventional search engines has cast a shadow over the legal discussions. The Justice Department along with various state attorneys general participating in the lawsuit are keen on preventing Google from extending its supremacy from the traditional search domain to this burgeoning sector.
However, subsequent to Mehta's forthcoming decision, it is anticipated that there will be appeals. This might delay the implementation of any restrictions on Google for several years. As a result, investors remain optimistic about the future of Google and its parent entity, Alphabet. The conglomerate's stock has risen more than 37 percent in 2024, making it the eighth most significant yearly increase since its initial public offering two decades ago.
Shift in Control
In the trial of the current year, Google credited its leading position in the search market to creating a user-favored experience. The Justice Department contended that consumers tend to use the pre-set search engines on their mobile devices and web browsers, which is frequently Google. Google's plan presented on Friday highlighted its desire not to completely give up these default positions. For example, it proposed allowing Google to maintain its status as the default search engine on certain Samsung phone models in the US, while pausing the mandate that requires this to be the case across all models.
Google may still be able to form agreements to endorse Gemini. The current proposal from Google doesn't stop it from compensating Samsung to feature Gemini across its devices. However, according to the suggested limitations, Google would not have the authority to mandate that partners boost Gemini in order to distribute search, Chrome, or the Google Play app store. Furthermore, it wouldn't restrict its partners from collaborating with competing AI firms such as OpenAI.
According to the government, Google's dominance has been significantly bolstered by agreements that mandated exclusivity and linked the promotion of Google's search engine with the distribution of its other services.
In a recent court filing, Google suggested particular measures focused on generative AI chatbot services to alleviate worries that the company might use exclusive distribution deals to ensure its Gemini Assistant chatbot comes preloaded on devices. According to the legal representatives of the company, these measures are aimed at tackling the possibility that AI chatbots could replace traditional search engines.
The corporation's suggestion regarding Gemini reflects aspects of the government's stance. In last month's legal document, the government articulated that Google ought to be prohibited from favoring its own artificial intelligence offerings or hindering associates from endorsing competing AI solutions.
However, there is still a significant gap between the parties regarding the extent and length of the proposed solution. The government has requested that Mehta enforce limitations for ten years, while Google argues for a shorter period of just three years. “The rate of advancement in search technology has been remarkable, and it is expected to persist as artificial intelligence swiftly evolves internet computing products and services,” lawyers for the firm argued. “Applying a restrictive order as suggested by the Plaintiffs to a rapidly evolving sector such as search could detrimentally affect competition, innovation, and consumer welfare.”
In a recent discussion with WIRED, ex-leaders from Google expressed skepticism that any directive from Mehta could majorly alter the dynamics of the search industry, in which Google dominates with a 90 percent share worldwide, as reported by Statcounter. They argued that for rivals to stand a chance against Google, innovation is key. Nonetheless, some of Google’s competitors in the search domain believe that certain interventions could foster an environment more conducive to competition, thereby improving their odds of attracting users.
As the hearings set to start in April approach, both Google and the Justice Department have been actively gathering a variety of documents and statements from AI search firms like OpenAI and Perplexity to strengthen their individual arguments. The agreement between the two on limitations regarding the dissemination of AI means that Gemini's adoption into the daily lives of Americans may present a stark contrast to the way Google search was incorporated.

Visual Representation of Every AI Copyright Dispute in the US
Back in May 2020, the media and tech giant Thomson Reuters initiated legal action against a nascent legal AI firm named Ross Intelligence. The lawsuit accused Ross Intelligence of breaching US copyright laws by duplicating content from Westlaw, the legal research service owned by Thomson Reuters. Amidst the chaos of the pandemic, this legal battle went largely unnoticed by anyone outside the niche circle fascinated by copyright legislation. However, it has since become evident that this lawsuit, filed well before the surge in generative AI technology, marked the beginning of a broader conflict. This clash pits content creators against AI companies in legal arenas nationwide. The verdicts from these battles have the potential to either construct, dismantle, or transform the landscape of information and the AI sector at large, potentially affecting virtually everyone who uses the internet.
In the last two years, a significant number of copyright infringement cases have been launched against AI firms, marking a surge in such legal actions. The list of complainants spans a diverse group, featuring individual writers such as Sarah Silverman and Ta Nehisi-Coates, artists in the visual domain, media entities like The New York Times, and behemoths of the music industry including Universal Music Group. These varied stakeholders accuse AI enterprises of repurposing their creative outputs to develop AI technologies that not only become highly profitable but also wield considerable influence, an act they equate with pilfering. In response, AI entities often resort to the defense of "fair use" – a legal principle they argue permits the use of copyrighted content in the creation of AI tools without needing to seek permission or offer remuneration to the original creators. Established instances of fair use encompass parody, journalistic endeavors, and scholarly inquiry. The legal turmoil has ensnared nearly all leading generative AI firms, with OpenAI, Meta, Microsoft, Google, Anthropic, and Nvidia among those embroiled in these disputes.
WIRED is meticulously monitoring the progression of these legal battles. To aid your understanding and tracking, we've developed visual aids that display the involved parties, the locations of the filings, the nature of the allegations, and all other essential details.
The initial lawsuit, involving Thomson Reuters and Ross Intelligence, continues to navigate its way through the judicial process. A court battle that had been set for earlier in the year has now been postponed without a new date set, and despite the legal expenses forcing Ross to cease operations, the conclusion of this case remains uncertain. Meanwhile, other legal battles, such as the highly monitored case The New York Times has launched against OpenAI and Microsoft, are in the midst of heated discovery phases. In these phases, both sides are in dispute over the disclosure of necessary information.

Generative AI Captivates Global Interest
In November 2022, OpenAI's launch of ChatGPT mesmerized the world, attracting 100 million users almost instantly. OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, quickly became a recognizable figure. More than a handful of competitors scrambled to surpass OpenAI's achievements, aiming to develop superior technology. OpenAI itself aimed to surpass its own groundbreaking model, GPT-4, introduced in March 2023, with plans for an even more advanced version, likely to be named GPT-5. Companies everywhere eagerly explored how to integrate ChatGPT (or similar technologies developed by competitors) into their operations.
One key point to consider is that Generative AI hasn't proven to be particularly effective, and it's possible that it never might.
At its core, generative AI operates on a principle similar to enhanced autocomplete, a method of filling in missing pieces of information. These systems excel in generating content that seems appropriate or convincing within a specific context, yet they lack the ability to comprehend the substance of their outputs deeply. Inherently, these AIs cannot verify the accuracy of their own outputs. This deficiency has given rise to significant issues with "hallucinations," where the AI confidently presents false statements or incorporates glaring mistakes across various fields, including math and science. There's a military saying that aptly describes this situation: "often incorrect, but never uncertain."
This narrative originates from the WIRED World in 2025, our yearly forecast of upcoming trends.
Technologies that often err but are always confident can impress in demonstrations, yet they typically fail to deliver as actual products. If 2023 was dominated by artificial intelligence (AI) excitement, 2024 has become the year where that enthusiasm has significantly waned. A viewpoint I shared back in August 2023, which was initially met with doubt, is now increasingly acknowledged: generative AI may ultimately prove to be a failure. The financial returns are missing—reports indicate that OpenAI might face a $5 billion operating deficit in 2024—and its valuation exceeding $80 billion doesn’t seem justified given the absence of profits. At the same time, numerous users are finding ChatGPT less useful than expected, falling short of the extremely high hopes that were once widespread.
Moreover, it appears that all major corporations are essentially following the same formula, focusing on expanding their language models. However, they all seem to converge at a similar outcome, achieving a level of performance akin to that of GPT-4 without any significant advancements. This situation implies that no single company can create a sustainable competitive advantage to protect its market position over time. Consequently, this has led to a decrease in profit margins. OpenAI has found itself in a position where it needed to reduce its prices, and now Meta is distributing akin technologies at no cost.
Currently, OpenAI is showcasing new products without officially launching them. If it doesn't launch a significant breakthrough, possibly termed GPT-5, by the end of 2025 that clearly surpasses its rivals' offerings, the excitement surrounding OpenAI will wane. Given its status as a leading example in the industry, a decrease in interest in OpenAI could lead to a broader decline in the field.

Try Out These ‘Anti-AI’ Photo Apps to Prevent Your Images From Appearing Too Edited
Purchasing through the links in our articles might earn us a commission. This contributes to our journalistic efforts. Find out more. Also, think about subscribing to WIRED
Artificial intelligence has become ubiquitous, infiltrating various aspects of technology such as music platforms, social networks, gaming, internet searches, and beyond. Nowadays, whenever a new smartphone or computer is introduced, the spotlight often shines on the extent of AI integration it boasts.
Artificial intelligence has significantly infiltrated mobile photography. Initially, it introduced intelligent adjustments to the hues and luminosity in your smartphone images. Today, it has advanced to the point where it can insert individuals into pictures who were originally absent, or conversely, remove persons and items from images. Furthermore, both Android and iOS utilize machine learning algorithms to enhance the vibrancy of colors in photographs and to bring more vitality to the visuals.
This situation isn't set in stone. There are still camera apps for mobile devices that avoid using artificial intelligence, allowing you to have full control over your photography. This makes capturing moments and scenes more about your own perspective than relying on artificial enhancements. Here are two of the top choices.
The interface of Zerocam is notably simple.
Zerocam enthusiastically upholds its stance against AI, branding itself as "the easiest method for capturing images," aiming to mimic the experience of using a traditional point-and-click camera as closely as it can. The focus is on achieving genuine, true-to-life appearances—the application indeed captures images in the RAW format—while eschewing any excessive artificial enhancements.
Regarding the app's usage, it's pretty straightforward: Simply position your photo and press the yellow button to take the picture, which interestingly cycles through various labels like "zap" and "piu piu." Besides that, the only additional feature is a button to adjust zoom levels, and this functionality might differ based on your smartphone model.
Initially, the straightforward and sparse design of the interface was somewhat disconcerting, yet I adapted to it faster than anticipated. There's a sense of freedom in being able to capture moments without any fuss, and the Zerocam social media feed showcases a plethora of stunning photographs taken with this application.
The app creators actively engage with their user base and have initiated a "365 Challenge" that motivates participants to capture a photo daily. To view the daily prompts, you can install the Zerocam widget on your main screen. Additionally, the app can be opened directly from the lock screen for convenience.
Zerocam can be downloaded at no cost on both Android and iOS platforms, but users can only take up to five pictures daily without a subscription. To remove this limit, there's a subscription fee of $2 monthly or $13 annually. Additionally, an exclusive black and white variant of the app exists, though it's currently only accessible to iOS users.
Halide presents a wide array of choices on its capture interface.
Halide stands out as a robust mobile photography application tailored for both experts and avid hobbyists, packed with a wide array of features and adjustments. Additionally, it introduces a Process Zero mode that delivers shots with minimal processing and no AI interference. This mode can be selected upon the initial setup of Halide or can be activated at any moment through the app's settings.
In Halide's Process Zero setting, the interface for capturing photos remains significantly more cluttered compared to Zerocam. Users can access various tools directly on the display, such as a luminance histogram, focus controls, screen grid, and zoom adjustments. With an additional tap, functionalities like white balance and a timer for the shutter become available.
In terms of image processing, it's simplified to the bare essentials, allowing it to function similarly to a point-and-shoot camera, much like Zerocam. The images captured avoid the automatic digital tweaks that iPhones usually implement, providing less of a buffer for enhancing poorly taken photos during post-editing.
Certainly, for those requiring more sophisticated functionality, Halide offers such options. The app's manual mode allows for the customization of settings like shutter speed and ISO. These features are accessible regardless of whether you're using Process Zero mode, offering users a wide range of possibilities in capturing their photos.
Halide is exclusively offered on iOS platforms, and it requires a subscription fee to access its features: monthly at $3, annually at $20, or a one-time lifetime fee of $60. Additionally, there's an option for a seven-day free trial on the yearly subscription, allowing users to test the app before making a purchase.

I Leveraged AI for My Entire Holiday Gift Buying
The forthcoming wave of advanced generative AI holds the promise of agency, giving these technologies the capability to independently carry out tasks for us, the inherently disorderly humans. This implies that AI systems could, in theory, "think" about their subsequent moves, enabling them to perform a series of actions based on a single request. The potential is limitless, at least according to enthusiasts—envision peak efficiency and productivity, along with a slew of other trendy terms often tossed around in the earnings calls of major tech companies. Yet, my sole desire from AI is to handle my shopping chores.
I recognize that many individuals enjoy the experience of shopping, but for me, the vast array of choices, whether in a physical retail environment or during a prolonged online browsing session, can be too much to handle. As the December festive season approaches, the stress only intensifies: How can one express the extent of their gratitude for another's presence and support throughout the current year, or over many years, in a way that transcends the simplicity of gifting a soy wax candle? At this point, I was prepared to let artificial intelligence guide my decisions.
In recent weeks, I've entrusted my holiday shopping to various AI platforms including Perplexity AI, OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini, Anthropic’s Claude, and Amazon’s Rufus to discover if it's possible to hand over one of my least favorite chores to artificial intelligence. I approached these applications strictly as tools; as direct avenues to achieve a shopping goal. I unleashed these generative AI technologies and consumed considerable resources in my pursuit to locate the ideal baking tools.
Revelation: It soon became apparent to me that these applications are not yet capable of independent shopping. Essentially, they serve as enhanced search engines, equipped to dissect and encapsulate the details of products, and to juxtapose various items. The task of crafting and refining inquiries about the specific gifts I sought remained mine. Similarly, for the majority of purchases, I found myself having to manually input my payment details and navigate the checkout process on the websites of the respective retailers.
I utilized automated shopping assistants to select presents for a group of five individuals, whose ages span from half a year to 49. One of the main subjects for this experiment was a dear friend who has a profound passion for baking. Additionally, I sought out festive present suggestions for my 16-year-old niece, who reassured me via a text message that I was still in touch by saying, "Don't worry, you're not mid." (I have kept the screenshot for posterity.) Another individual I aimed to buy a gift for was a friend who works as an editor and musician, known for his unique preferences, and who is looking forward to celebrating a significant birthday just after the start of the new year.
I recently explored an AI application that introduces a unique feature aimed at enhancing the online shopping journey. Perplexity AI, a startup in the generative AI search arena that has attracted attention and funding, yet faced backlash for purportedly copying content from news outlets, unveiled a novel offering last month. Named Buy with Pro, this service is accessible through a subscription to Perplexity Pro, costing $20 monthly. Touted as a groundbreaking AI-driven retail experience, Buy with Pro vows to revolutionize the ease and enjoyment of online shopping by tenfold. Despite these claims, I was initially skeptical, considering I've never found online shopping to be particularly enjoyable to begin with. It's worth noting that Buy with Pro, along with similar AI-based shopping guides, stands as a direct competitor to WIRED. Unlike these AI services, WIRED generates revenue through its gift guides, which are curated, reviewed, and edited entirely by humans.
When you conduct a search for shopping items on Perplexity Pro, the application indicates it is sourcing information from various outlets such as The New York Times, The Food Network, Reddit, among others. Shortly after, it unveils a range of products complete with pricing and seller information. Now, several products feature purchase options directly through Shopify or Perplexity's in-house payment system. Should you proceed to buy an item, the delivery cost is on the house. Additionally, Perplexity incorporates a feature for visual searches, enabling users to snap photos and search for visually similar products online. Perplexity clarifies that it does not earn affiliate income from transactions conducted on its service.
I attempted to use Perplexity Pro to find the perfect holiday present for a dear friend who is passionate about baking but seems to have it all. The artificial intelligence generated a selection that largely consisted of items I'd classify as either trivial or unimpressive, with a few instances of creativity. Among the suggestions were a $10 Tasty Tinies kids' baking kit (irrelevant), a $120 Bakken-Swiss 8-piece stackable bakeware set (could be of some use), and a $35 sweatshirt emblazoned with "My Buns Are Gluten-Free" (a definite no-go). Modifying the search terms to include "luxury" or "customized" did lead to a slight improvement in the recommendations, though the change was minimal.
Navigating through the shopping feature of Perplexity soon became remarkably similar to the experience of scrolling through Amazon or Walmart online, or perhaps flipping through a product review site, albeit with a futuristic, algorithm-driven twist. Similarly, Amazon's own AI, named Rufus, offers a comparable shopping assistant experience directly on its website and mobile application, where a chatbot is ready to field inquiries, draw product comparisons, and facilitate the purchase of more items from Amazon. When posed with the same query about a baking-related gift, Rufus quickly recommended buying a KitchenAid Stand Mixer, priced at over $300, suggesting an assumption of significant spending capacity on the user's part.
Next, I explored the capabilities of three additional AI chatbots, all lacking dedicated ecommerce functionalities. However, a key advantage of platforms such as ChatGPT lies in their ability to assist users in generating and conceptualizing ideas—a feature precisely aligned with my requirements.
Upon inquiring about the perfect gift for my baking enthusiast friend, ChatGPT's suggestions stood out as the most creative and considerate. It offered up 15 unique gift options, organized into categories such as Gifts for Bakers, Luxury Household Goods, and Customized Items. How about a handcrafted ceramic mixing bowl? Or a high-end sampler of teas or coffees to complement homemade treats? Maybe a recipe diary for logging baking exploits? These ideas really hit the mark.
Initially, ChatGPT did not include any product links in its replies. However, upon request, it quickly generated them, and from the ones I examined, all seemed legitimate. Conversely, Claude responded with an apology, explaining that it “cannot directly link to websites or products.” Anthropic, Claude's creator, has not yet launched a web search capability for the AI, but they have announced that they are developing this feature.
This effectively positioned Claude as the most ineffective shopping assistant among the chatbots I evaluated. However, it also indicates that Anthropic has successfully steered clear of the ethical grey area associated with permitting its AI chatbots to gather product reviews written by humans from the internet. Claude relies on its pre-existing data collection for making product comparisons. Conversely, Perplexity claims that with Buy with Pro, individuals can bypass the tedious task of reading through endless product reviews.
Upon inquiring with Perplexity about an appropriate gift for a friend of mine who is both an editor and a musician (and I remembered he enjoyed cycling), it suggested a solar-powered bike light kit. While the suggestion wasn't terrible, it didn't quite rise to the occasion of a significant birthday. I adjusted my query further. How about a custom leather guitar strap? And thus, my search deepened.
The purpose behind Perplexity's emphasis on enhancing its shopping functionalities, as I came to realize, goes beyond simply aiding in the generation of innovative ideas or finding the perfect gifts. Perplexity is strategizing for the future, gradually diverting our focus from other online competitors, deepening its understanding of user interactions on its platform, and incorporating this insight into its continuously improving artificial intelligence algorithms. Every time I had to tweak my search queries due to unsatisfactory initial outcomes, I stayed within the Perplexity app, thereby not venturing into Amazon or Google (although I eventually visited these sites). Perplexity Pro doesn't yet stand as a comprehensive e-commerce platform, nor does it operate independently in any significant capacity, but I, along with millions of others, am providing the data it requires to evolve into these capabilities.
Upon consulting Google's Gemini for gift recommendations for my 16-year-old niece, the suggestions I received were not terrible but lacked imagination and were somewhat perplexing at times. For instance, it recommended a "cat blanket for cozy reading," leaving me puzzled whether the blanket was intended for her or her pet. While proposing a Kindle seemed like a decent idea, the thought of gifting her an SAT prep book made me anxious about her potential response, which I imagined would be a brief and unenthusiastic "thanks." Similarly, the gift ideas for my friend who is both an editor and a musician did not impress, including suggestions like "Vinyl records" and "Top-notch headphones."
Up until recently, I had been utilizing the version of Gemini that was released a year ago. However, at the beginning of this month, Google commenced the deployment of an updated edition, Gemini 2.0, to a select group of developers and early testers. According to the company, this advanced AI model is designed to "anticipate several moves ahead and perform tasks for you." Currently, this functionality is aimed at assisting developers by automating subsequent steps in their programming processes. Nonetheless, I'm looking forward to when it can efficiently tackle my grocery list.
ChatGPT guided me to a web-based spice shop where I purchased several unique baking supplies for my friend, whom I had come to imagine as a contender on The Great British Bake-Off. Ultimately, my extended conversations with the AI bots resulted in a delay, causing many of the presents I selected to be delivered post-Christmas. Consequently, my niece will receive money in a card. As for the quest to find a perfect gift for my friend's significant birthday, it remained unresolved. I chose to postpone this endeavor to January, a time synonymous with fresh beginnings and determined intentions.
