Digital Mark, which launched in July, is Soul Machines' first creation with GPT integration. The company has also created digital versions of NBA all-star Carmelo Anthony and legendary golfer Jack Nicklaus. Tuan, who is not concerned about misuse of the tech, spent a day in a motion capture suit to help Soul Machines replicate his movements and mannerisms for his digital twin.
Key takeaways:
- K-pop singer/songwriter Mark Tuan has a digital twin, 'Digital Mark', created by AI company Soul Machines, which can interact with fans 24/7.
- Digital Mark was created using OpenAI’s GPT3, a large language model used to build interactive chatbots and virtual assistants that converse naturally.
- Soul Machines replicated Tuan’s movements and mannerisms by filming him in a motion capture suit, allowing the digital twin to mimic his facial expressions.
- Despite potential concerns about misuse of the technology, Tuan is excited about the innovative ways to interact with fans and Digital Mark is programmed not to be used for abusive acts, sales or uses.
