Is a digital video clone better than talking to a real human being? Is it worse? Is it the same? The truth is, it can be all three, depending on the circumstance.
I’ve often been surprised by how well my clone can respond to questions. Sometimes, it even provides better answers than I can, simply because it’s more organized. My clone can rattle off ten points in a logical sequence with perfect recall better than I might in a live conversation. If someone asks my clone who gave the best acceptance speech at the 2013 Academy Awards, it can provide the exact answer, complete with details about why it was so effective. Ask me, and I might struggle to remember last year’s ceremony. The clone’s ability to recall information is remarkable, offering answers filled with facts most people, including myself, can’t easily pull from memory.
So yes, in some ways, the digital clone can be superior. But let’s be clear it’s not always as good as talking to a real human being. For most people, human interaction is preferable, especially when it comes to feeling truly understood and respected. Humans are hardwired to seek genuine connections with others. We want to know that someone is really listening to us, and that’s something a digital clone, no matter how advanced, can’t fully replicate.
However, the point of having a clone is that sometimes you simply don’t have enough hours in the day to answer every question, engage with every customer or prospect, or
provide one-on-one training or coaching. The more demand you have, the more a digital clone can help you scale your expertise. It’s especially valuable when you consider that a clone can answer questions in multiple languages a feature that, while not perfect at the time of this writing, is rapidly improving.
There are also situations where a digital clone can be superior to a live human being. For example, one of my clones serves as a life coach, helping people with various aspects of their lives, from finding purpose to building better habits. If someone wakes up at three in the morning needing a life coaching session, they’re unlikely to call me both because they’d be too embarrassed and because, let’s be honest, I’m not going to get up at that hour to coach them. But knowing they can access a clone instead makes them more comfortable pushing a button and starting a session immediately.
In some cases, people might find it easier to open up to a clone than to a real person. There’s a certain comfort in knowing they’re not dealing with a live human being. This can be especially true when someone wants to discuss something deeply personal or embarrassing. The anonymity and perceived lack of judgment can make the interaction feel safer. Additionally, if someone wants to talk for an extended period say two hours they might not want to book a session with a live coach, who would typically limit the session to an hour. A clone can accommodate longer, more flexible interactions without the constraints of human scheduling.
So, is a digital clone better, worse, or the same as talking to a real human? The answer is, it depends on the context. Sometimes, the clone can provide superior answers; other times, nothing beats the warmth and understanding of a real
person. In many cases, the clone offers a comparable experience, especially when you consider the efficiency and availability it provides. Ultimately, the value of a digital clone lies in its ability to complement human interaction, offering a practical solution when time, language, or comfort levels make traditional communication challenging.
