Making $1000s A Day With AI Avatars
Anthony Castrio highlights two AI projects that are taking off 🚀
- Avatar AI by Pieter Levels – $10,000 in first day
- ProfilePicture.ai by Danny Postma – $2000 in 12 hours
Both basically let you upload photos of yourself and then generate a bunch of avatars via artificial intelligence. Lots of examples at the links above.
Unfortunately, Pieter is “spending $8,000 per day on GPUs” to run his service 😱
Anthony suggests other AI projects like this that might have legs…
- Virtual clothes try on
- Preview hairstyles
- Insert yourself/friends into memes
- Next-gen school portraits/pet photography
Some chap named Nick took on the second idea and quickly launched HairstyleAI.com 👩🦰
That generated 23 sales at $5 a pop within a few hours. All the more impressive when you consider Nick has a tiny following on Twitter compared to Pieter and Danny.

Stable Diffusion is a new (free) AI tool that lets you generate images from simple text (or image) prompts.
For example: Bernie Sanders in a Mad Max movie that doesn’t exist
Even more amazing to me are the examples where very crude drawings were provided and the AI turned them into something 🔥
Such as…
The reddit post for the last one is titled, “It’s some kind of black magic I swear” 😈
There’s also a fascinating video of someone using the tool with Photoshop to create a sprawling landscape image featuring a very cute corgi.

New Freaky Artificial Intelligence Thing
It’s called DALL-E and it creates images 🌅 from written prompts ✍️
Such as:
- an armchair in the shape of an avocado
- a photo of the food in china
- a loft bedroom with a white bed next to a nightstand. there is a fish tank standing beside the bed.
The images are quite small so it’s hard to judge the exact quality, but impressive nonetheless.
New Freaky Artificial Intelligence Thing
It’s a website called This Person Does Not Exist.
Click through and you’ll see a very realistic image of a person that was “created using a style-based generative adversarial network” … whatever that means 😕
Keep refreshing the page and you’ll see more examples.
Similar thing for cats, horses, snacks, artwork and more here.
