Show HN: UGCReal – AI influencers so realistic, people are trying to date them

https://www.ugcreal.com/
4•Samenn•6mo ago
Hi HN! We built AI-generated influencers that are fooling everyone – including us sometimes. The breakthrough everyone said was impossible: Not "AI-looking" people. Not "almost realistic." Actually indistinguishable from real humans. We're the first to achieve true photorealism in AI-generated people. How real are we talking?

Brands report customers asking for the @ of our AI models to follow them Professional photographers studying our images can't find the tells We've had people try to book our AI influencers for real photoshoots A/B tests show audiences engage MORE with our AI content than real UGC

What everyone else gets wrong: Other AI tools give you plastic skin, symmetric features, that "perfect" CGI look. We generate humans with natural flaws – uneven skin tone, asymmetric features, stray hairs, authentic body language. The imperfections that make people real. See it to believe it: Upload any product. Get back content so authentic you'll double-check it's not a real photoshoot. While others are still fighting uncanny valley, we've moved on to building the future of marketing. The wild part: This isn't our endgame. If we can generate undetectable humans today, imagine what's possible tomorrow. No waitlist. No hype videos. Just try it yourself and tell us if you can spot the AI. What does HN think happens to influencer marketing when anyone can generate perfect UGC instantly?
