Summary

It’s 2025, and the line between reality and science fiction is getting more and more blurry every day. In this episode, I sit down with someone I’ve never met, but they know me pretty well. He even kind of sounds like me in an eerie sort of way. I was curious how well today’s AI models could pretend to be someone else, given a few simple prompts. The result is this chat with Robo-Nick, my AI alter ego. Let’s see how well Robo-Nick answers these questions, plus my real thoughts about them. (This episode relied heavily on ElevenLabs to generate the voice for Robo-Nick.) Tune in to episode 654 of The Side Hustle Show to learn: The biggest opportunities (and pitfalls) for side hustlers in the AI era. Actionable tips to future-proof your income and leverage new trends effectively. Full Show Notes: I Interviewed My AI Self … What it Got Right, Wrong, and a Little Weird New to the Show?
