[ SLANG ][ AI ][ IDENTITY ][ NOUN ]
An AI-generated likeness of a real person — their voice, face, or writing style — realistic enough to act, post, or speak convincingly on their behalf, raising immediate questions of consent and identity.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Someone cloned his voice from a podcast clip and made an AI doppelganger say things he never said."
LORE & ORIGIN
Popularized as voice-cloning and deepfake video tools got cheap enough for anyone to recreate a specific real person's likeness, turning 'what if there were two of me' from a joke into an actual security concern.
