How to build an AI MODEL that makes $11,000 per month

We use Aitana López, an AI-generated influencer, as inspiration for our next project. Let's build an AI model using Midjourney, ChatGPT, and Custom GPTs.

Hey Wes, i’ve been into AI for about the past six months now. I wanted to throw a compliment your way - out of the hundreds of videos. I’ve watched on AI, your presentation skills are the best. I love the way you don’t talk 90 mph and at the end, you recap the way you created the AI model. Super impressed with you, and you have a new subscriber. Good luck, and see you online!

[@WesGPT]

This is so nice of you to say and I really appreciate the comment. I've been creating a document of all the best, feel-good comments and have added yours to the list - just so I can take a look back every once in a while to remind myself why I'm creating videos!

[@II-nb6ko]

The better way to do this is to skip midjourney and just go free with something like SDXL/ComfyUI. You have the benefit of working off of community based checkpoints, creating your own, or using a base model with a custom lora. The trick is to generate a face that you like and then do a face replace on the images you create. This way, the face will remain consistent across generations and you still retain the ability to be creative with hair color, style, eye color, makeup, accessories, etc.

[@WesGPT]

So in my experience, I haven't been able to get any human generations with SDXL that look as good as Midjourney v6. I love the FaceSwap idea though!

[@II-nb6ko]

@@WesGPT really depends on the model. You can also add loras to improve things like skin texture, eyes/pupil detail, etc.

[@HrRezpatex]

"If you really look at it, you can see it is a AI model" I agree with that, but at the same time, since real models are edited so much, they also look just as fake as the AI model, so it is understandable that at least people who do not use AI them self will not see the difference. I love the motivation for creating this model without a huge ego.. lol Imagine all the struggle he had with some of them before he did this.. lol

[@WesGPT]

Yeah, you're 100% right! There are so many "filters" these days - are we even looking at real people anyways?

[@eirikraude854]

From now on to make a totally honest and natural fashion add you have to have real models without photoshopping and even give the model's name to make her real and personal...

[@LiebsterFeind]

Part of the problem comes from before AI due to the air-brushing of model photographs. I personally don't think we can differentiate now between real and AI unless there are gross errors in the AI model like warped hands. The "too perfect" rule can't be relied on anymore because we have had "too perfect" models for decades now due to air-brushing so is it AI or merely air-brushed?. I guess you could say that the demise of truth and reality really did begin with Photoshop and now it's just way more efficient.

[@WesGPT]

Good thoughts. And you're right... looking at the photos I generated and would honestly not know they were AI unless someone told me. Because our TikTok and Instagram feeds have been showing these types of photos (but of real people) for ages now.

[@christopherpoet458]

I think the important part is that if you are willing and openly state your model is an AI and do not hide that, people are often willing to ignore this. And not in the sense of denial, they simply do not care. At the end of the day, fake or not, you are getting to see pictures of a beautiful model that suits your fancy in some way. And most who are seeking to drop money on that sort of thing don't tend to care about how real the individual is. If the content is provided, the customer is happy. It's been used as a marketing ploy for generations. People do not often care how they get what they want as long as they get it. Consider that for generations, no one cared about the deaths of animals to put food at our tables until someone decided to yell about it on social media. And even then, still don't hear people complaining about it often.

[@fgoogleinthea7475]

I approve of this comment.

[@a.drusko1758]

@@christopherpoet458 "And most who are seeking to drop money on that sort of thing don't tend to care about how real the individual is." I definitely have to disagree with this. I think knowing if the girl you are extremely attracted to in this instagram is real or not, not only matters but would be the smoking gun/dealbreaker for anyone to pay money for it. Just think back to your celebrity crush when you were a wee naive little shit, wasn't half the turn on that 1 in a milllion famous Jim Carry "Yes I've got a chance" quote? Wasn't it understanding the Many Worlds Interpretation at adolesence and jerking off to science knowing that there is a universe out there where you and her are in love and it's the same universe they cure all aging and disease so you literally get to spend eternity with the woman of your dreams? However, it is highly likely the outcome I just proposed would be just 1 of a quadrillion simulations anyway so perhaps you were right all along and it won't matter because real will have lost any validity to it's meaning that it's true source would be so far away from us that the only way you could reach it is for a whole society to all agree that what they are seeing is exactly the same as the person next to them?

[@wykydytron]

Face swapping works like charm untill you want to add glasses or something obscuring face. You can all that stuff using free stable diffusion, it's much better then midjirney at that point and is free. You can generate random people then use that to creat Lora of said character giving you great flexibility while retaining coherence and same face without need of face swapping. That's before you start using controlnet etc giving you much much much more control then all the paid generators do together.

I do AI model as well, I use Stable Diffusion XL with custom trained lora model and use fine tuned checkpoint from civit, it works extremely well, although it requires local hardware like RTX 3090 or rent a server to process this.

Man, Brian - thank you so much for the kind comment! Glad you found the information helpful 😊

[@sullyFL]

Have you actually tried to make money off this?

[@aarmfield]

You should utilize Midjourney's permutation prompt tool. Basically, it allows you to put variables into the prompt. This allows you to change the subject or any other part of the prompt. For instance, "wide shot of a brunette woman laughing {in a mall food court, on a yacht, in the forest} shot on kodak gold 400" This will generate 3 sets of 4 photo blocks. Each one will be like you created 3 different prompts, but you did it in one single prompt. I think this would have been helpful for you in your video. Although the video was really great and separating them out may have helped me more in understanding the material better than if you did one single prompt. Hope that helps.

Oh, this is a great idea! Let me test it out to see if I can create some better consistency across images.

I am not too keen on using my own face for privacy reasons, but I am curious if this kind of thing works just as well based off an existing personal photo, that can use the same face to regenerate various images and settings. Apologies if this is a stupid question lol.

[@WesGPT]

Not a stupid question, I appreciate you commenting! Midjourney is a Discord bot. That's the relationship.

As an artist/photographer, this sort of thing has been a battle for about 1 1/2 years now.

You currently can not copyright these images and litigation about how Midjourney, among others, trained their Ai is on going, so don't quit your real job just yet. All I can say is, at least the creator of this tutorial was upfront about it being Ai and not just trying to mislead people. Also, there are several Ai image and text detection tools out now.

[@xx_Joker_xx]

@@WesGPT it's not a matter of what I believe. I've checked the current copyright guidelines about it. My personal opinion is that using random computer algorithms does not make art. There is no conscious control in that. Using it as a starting point, that's fine. But it must be further developed with human intent.

Thanks for sharing. I have used a couple GPTs with good results, but just began working with images the other day. Disappointing, but I suspected that had more to do with user errors by me than the GPT. Still, I had to laugh when you asked for long nose, and Dall-E just completely ignored you, and when you requested specific improvements, it just got worse. Now, I wonder if the my problems had more to do with the GPTs I used. I appreciate that you went from Dall-E straight to Midjourney. I'm about to plunk down the money. It seems that it is just more simple to go with the one that works most easily rather that burn a lot of time experimenting with the others.

[@WesGPT]

She can never come in public etc. This is just an unrealistic bubble which has thrown in the air where nobody actually has seen any monetized results from it.

I suppose. If you've been living in that bubble. AI can talk, move and wear anything the generator can put them in. Tupac performed onstage over a decade ago (2012), AI can definitely make that leap.

A better original seed image would be just a picture of her face (like a close-up portrait). In the video, I use one of her on a boat which is probably not the best idea. You want as little in the seed image as possible (in my experience)

Do some KZbin searches for Adobe Firefly, Adobe's AI image generation offering. It has demos of exactly that.

[@WesGPT]

GREAT question. I actually didn't know the answer to this but then @LiebsterFeind reminded me. There was a demo of Adobe Firefly recently where they changed the clothing of a person live, in video. So this would be the way to do it.

[@blacksage81]

That is where Image prompting, Lora, and Roop would come in.

[@unsopken0623]

Currently, the closest option available involves utilizing Adobe Generative Fill or Adobe Firefly. You can alter the attire of the model by specifying what the AI model should wear. However, it's a hit or miss when it comes to using a particular brand.

[@sandyyyy8867]

As someone who works with influencers, I get the frustration sometimes 😅 I have started to work on my own AI influencer just to see if she can blow up, like the others, but I have started with a more complicated tool and video. So I am happy to have stumbled upon this video, that is super easy to follow! Thanks ❤

[@WesGPT]

Excited to see where you go with this!

[@KajaSavickaite]

One thing to mention. If you will use a half body image to create your reference image, you will hardly be able to generate a full body images based on your reference image later on.

[@WesGPT]

This is a good tip, thank you!

[@VR_Wizard]

When you add a Only fan link after a few months you make 100.000 when the video generation also works and the image/video generators get good even when not restricted. As I heard the most money is payed by people looking to chat with these models so if you have a chat bot which talks to people this industry is dead for normal only fans models and their e pimps. I think the New York time made a podcast about e pimps making money with only fans where the e pimps hire writers for the models and only ask the models for images and videos all the texting is done by other people. The e pimp do the whole marketing and money grabbing the girls make the pictures/videos and get a share of the revenue. Also are you sure with some more Prompt engineering Dalle 3 would not be able to deliver the same realism? I think there is a lot of content on how to write better prompts for Dalle 3 the fact that it is free is a big advantage and most people would just try it out if it is free. I also follow your AI Model curious how this evolves :)

[@thebikeracer]

Dalle 3 is struggling with images like this right now. It's winning everywhere else though.

[@LiebsterFeind]

Right, and the chat-bot will probably be way more attentive and interesting, a digital Cyrano de Bergerac on steroids available 24/7 that never tires and never has an off day.

[@WesGPT]

So intriguing. I've never heard of the word "e-pimp" but it makes sense. Adding a chatbot is a fantastic idea for an add-on to this method. I might make a video about it because the video here looks to be pretty popular.

[@girls_n_guys_studios4561]

I have OF models - But the issue i run into is OF will only pay the models directly-- Not a agency-- Anyone know how to work around this ?

[@WesGPT]

@@girls_n_guys_studios4561 Good question, I hope someone answers!

[@curlsbyalexa]

What apps or programs do you create these "real" looking ai models and which ones to make the cartoonish models ?

[@WesGPT]

Midjourney V6 and Stable Diffusion for "real," DALL-E 3 for "cartoonish"

[@curlsbyalexa]

Can you update us on the traction you get?

[@WesGPT]

Well, it has 23 followers right now - but I'm not sure if that's just from all the people watching haha

[@JehovahRapha777]

Hey! I can't get AI to make a photo from head to toe. It's always making a portrait (no torso, no legs) Any advice???

[@WesGPT]

Instead of using keywords like "full-body portrait" - try describing features of the legs and feet. This usually triggers the generator to make these types of pictures. Also, try using a vertical aspect ratio.

[@entertainmentdirecttoyou]

Great video, but I really wonder where ai is getting this stuff, is it actually creating an image from scratch adding filters that mimic photo paper or is it finding the image somewhere on line? Could this be an image of an actual person who’s info is just out there somewhere? The first few you did that looked “cartoony” is what I would expect a generated image of a person to look like.

[@WesGPT]

Here is a good explanation of what's going on under the hood: stable-diffusion-art.com/how-stable-diffusion-work/

[@webmaxicz]

anyone know what to do with this: Image denied Request cancelled due to image filters?

[@alansanchez6801]

Good video Wes! Keep up the good work!💪🏼 but how do you get the followers for these models?

[@WesGPT]

Consistently posting (with hashtags) and engaging with other accounts!

[@MatthewLazzari-p6g]

Hey Wes, I am having trouble saving images into Insight Face Swap. When I right click on the picture it does not give me the option to "save image as". I do not know why I do not have same options as you do in this video with the Basic Plan.

[@FC-BS]

How do you do this for free? I've been trying but only got like 4 images that are slightly inconsistent

[@WesGPT]

Are you using Midjourney within Discord?

[@FC-BS]

@@WesGPT don't worry about it. I figured it out after watching like 4 more tutorials

[@st.moritz5062]

Great info! One question, You changed from half body to full body in your Midjourney prompt, but it still gave you all half body shot. Can it create a full body, legs, arms etc?

[@WesGPT]

Generating full-body shots is tricky as it defaults to faces and heads. Try describing features of the legs/feet and it may trigger a full-body portrait.

[@nmarks]

"Were you listening to me, Neo? Or were you looking at the woman in the red dress?"

[@cinematic_monkey]

There you go! 3 different images of 3 different people. Well done!

[@WesGPT]

You don't think they look similar at all? Do you not think real people look different from picture to picture?

[@cinematic_monkey]

@@WesGPT These faces look similar, but not the same. Probably due to the fact, that these models avarage faces making them undistinctive.

[@philipgauthier3570]

Awesome presentation. Thanks for breaking it down then doing a final wrap with the steps. Really well laid out! Here's a question. If the created AI actually starts generating AD revenue, who is able to collect on the account? You the creator or the AI. It would seem a bit of a legal grey area?? It would suck to see your creation generate revenue you're not able to access. Probably a lame question as I'm not up to speed on AD revenue collection. Never had more than 9 views on a vide

[@Cuntspiracy2.0]

You realize the AI is a program and not an entity with a bank account and legal rights, yeah? This is like saying "Hey, I created something in Photoshop; it's making money now, do I get the money? Or do I pay the photoshop program?" lol

[@philipgauthier3570]

I get it...we're just talking here! btw...nice wordplay on your channel name! @@Cuntspiracy2.0

How would this AI model approach say being contracted by a product or place for photoshoot? I would love to see how you face / body swapped the AI model into a background that the sponsor would agree upon.

[@WesGPT]

Great idea! I'll cover that in a future video. Stay tuned! 📸✨

[@inglesconpelis270]

How did they make an OF of her if midjourney censors that?

[@WesGPT]

I've been hearing that other models - like Stable Diffusion and Leonardo AI - can output NSFW images. Haven't experimented with it yet though!

[@LaNumerologiaRevelada]

Crazy stuff, but how do the adverts work? Does the creator have to make an image with her showing a product? Where do the ads get published? Thanks.

[@WesGPT]

Yeah, either product placement in the images or sponsored posts (which mention the company/brand in the image description)

[@Gamesvolutions]

let's suppose if a client ask for specific cloth to wear we can't do that to ai model accurately. any plateform latest one "stable-defusion" I tired to find out solution installed every realistic plugin nothing got. if you guys got solution please let me know

It's really cool, man. Now, how to get those thousands of followers ? Is it possible to do it organically ? Or do we have to purchase some ads ?

[@saeedlawaf2809]

does mid.j keeps that face for you for another commands. for example when you return to that after a week or more?

[@WesGPT]

Only if you use it as a seed image or save it as a custom option/suffix

[@SimpleAbundance]

I want to create a ai version of myself that looks 80%+ accurate to my own image. I want it for video that I can add text and have the AI (guy) talking. How would I accomplish this? Could I do it via AI mid journey or is this only photos?

[@tonygatto48]

OK... so 2 months has gone by and i was going to make one of these models.... do you still feel this is the best way to make one of these models or would you do it another way ?

[@WesGPT]

Great question. There is a new app made specifically for AI models that I want to try out before I give my full opinion. But this is definitely still my go-to (except now, we have a better image generator with Midjourney v6)

[@HealthyMind365]

Success and abundance are not just for others - they are for you, too. Just keep moving forward and never stop believing in your potential! ❤

[@ShahAmanat-r6i]

[@WayneRuple]

A most inspiring video!!!! I think Ive already seen a number of female and male AI models on Facebook, Instagram and other social media. Some look rather cartoonish but others are so realistic I cant spot them. Is it the eyes that are the giveaway or other facets of the image.??

[@WesGPT]

I'm definitely seeing a lot more popup too. Cool that you can spot it because I often get fooled 💯

[@Eric_In_SF]

I think an example of the face swap would’ve been pretty good

[@tellmewhy4915]

for me the problem for created this type of contents in public is about the use people can do. They can take the photo and use for bad things. So.. if you love your ai person you could be careful to share with few people and protect your creations. I think like this. But if you consider this like a game.. of course you can do anything and use the ai art in the way you want (sorry for my english, not my language)

[@WesGPT]

No worries, thanks for sharing your thoughts 😊 I don't see this as a problem because the seed image is going to be different. It's probably a good idea to keep that seed image a secret (in the video, I upload it to the Instagram page). Also, the account with the largest following is going to win-out - so it's almost like whoever gets there first with their AI model!

[@Petra-mz5xf]

Hey, after upscaling the picture, I don't see "copy link" button when clicking on it. Just "copy message link or "Copy text". Is there anything I'm doing wrong?

Wes, been following your channel! great content, especially like your experimental stuff. Question- You think it is possible for mid journey to create an AI influencer that can feature products that you define in the image itself? Example - AI influencer you build, featuring product xyz for example (an image you would upload)? What you think? That could take product placement to the next level.

This is close to being a possibility but not quite there yet! The closest we have right now is Adobe Firefly and their AI tools.

How do you get the full image box once yo right click? Mines stops at "Delete Message"...and I keep getting a "Request denied due to image filters" error when I try to copy the image address when I open the image in a new tab.🤔

I think you need to use the Discord app (instead of the browser) to get the full image box. As for "image filters" - something is getting moderated in your prompt. Are you trying to generate racy images?

[@rayfellers]

It's been 5 months since this video was published. Any followup to see if $ was made with this or was this simply a tutorial?

I only made the model as a tutorial and never continued. She has 500 followers though, which is pretty neat.
