LinkedIn Co-Founder Reid Hoffman AI Twin
LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman created an AI twin of himself and then recorded a Q&A session to see how this digital version might challenge himself. Hour One generated the video avatar, while its voice was created by Eleven Labs.



Its persona is based on a custom chatbot built on GPT-4 that was trained on Reid Hoffman’s own books, speeches, podcasts and other content that he has produced over the last few decades. Not only did he interview his digital twin to test its capability, but it then asked him some questions on AI and technology.

I was expecting the head nodding and projected engagement from the AI, but it really threw me when it started acting distracted when the real Reid was talking. Looking down like there was something in ‘his’ shoe or such. Very human like and certainly not something one would expect an AI to do,” said one commenter.
