AI has swept all walks of life, and even kittens are out of work. On Xiaohongshu, a note titled "Cats who can cook are really a plus" received 280,000 likes and 4000+ favorites, this ** image is generated by AI. In the picture, Chef Cat is concentrating on cooking, standing upright, with firm eyes, very Michelin-starred chef's style. 
Netizens in the comment area also ordered food:Meow Sang, let's have eel rice. Previously, there was a flurry of cat cooking bloggers on the Internet, and the author grabbed the cat's paws to cut vegetables and stir-fry vegetables, which is very cute, but in the barrage, there are always many people who brush "protect animals" and "refuse animal performances", etc., so this kind of ** will be gone after a while (it is estimated that there are also reasons why cat owners do not cooperate). It can be seen that the AI cat is on the sameThe path to karma is much broader. 
In the past two years since AI painting became popular, the interest of human beings in using AI has shifted from handsome guys and beauties to cats and dogs. On social platforms, a large number of AI animal accounts have emerged, including cats, dogs, pandas, and even ducks and chickens. 
The blogger "Orange of Oranges" specializes in posting AI cats created by himself, and has 5 in Xiaohongshu50,000 followers, 4780,000 likes and favorites, in a note at the top of the account, a chubby Garfield is cosing with Mr. Bao in "Flowers", eating rice in a suit. This AI-generated kitten has an evenly distributed coat color, thick and shiny hair, large and round eyes, bright and clear eyes, and no tear stains, which is indeed much better than the real Garfield in terms of appearance. In addition, AI cats can be tailored to the needs of creatorsSeek to change the image at will. 
For example, peeling oyster kittens, the unlucky appearance looks as if they have eaten all the hardships of life. 
For example, the thief cat who stole two cups of milk tea and ran away. 
For example, it looks like a fitness cat with a forward pelvic tilt. 
These AI cat accounts range from a few thousand to tens of thousands of followers and are very popular on social platforms. Searching for cat on Xiaohongshu, the first note that pops up is AI cat, and the number of likes is more than three times that of the second "cat stealing coffee".
Some people say that AI cats are beautiful and soulless. But now the AI cat has begun to have a soul of its own. 
Many bloggers have created their own IP avatars with AI. In the notes of the account "is Zhuang Zhuangya", Zhuang Zhuang is a Shiba Inu with a beer belly, it is often in **, and will have a sad face on the belly in the mirror, it likes to stay up late playing with mobile phones, go to work and fish for paid, and secretly sleep during meetings, in addition to being cute, these AI animals also have their own personalities, just like they really exist. Zhuang Zhuang's author said that Zhuang Zhuang already has some iron fans on Xiaohongshu, and they often interact in the comment area. As we all know, cats are extremely cold animals, and it is not easy to get the cat owner to cooperate with human performances. Cats who are naturally suitable for being Internet celebrities can be met but not sought. The AI cat is different, and the customizable nature of the AI allows the cat to adapt to various situations and expression needsYou can generate whatever you want, and you don't need to buy canned food, which saves you money compared to having a cat. 
In terms of monetization, from the background query, the advertising of the AI pet head account** is not cheap, 550,000 powders of "orange orange"**15,000 yuan, the same is 550,000 powders of "empty and cool"**7,700 yuan. It's a lot higher than Xiaohongshu's (rough)** method of thousands of fans. From the notes of various AI animal authors, you can often see that the products are exposed, not only pet products such as cat food and canned cat food, but also glasses, cars, milk tea, etc. In the past two years of generative AI, there have been a lot of reports on the Internet similar to "AI will replace real people", and in those articles, copywriters, artists, concept artists, and photographers are all high-risk positions. I didn't expect to even have a cat nowCats' jobs are going to be snatched away by AI. 
Here are 21 cats of different shapes**, can you find out which one was created by AI?
Oh! Actually, itIt's all fake. They are all fake cats generated by a ** called "This cat does not exist", and this ** has only one function: to generate fake cats**. This ** was born long before AIGC became popular, (before people used Midjourney to generate welfare Ji) shows that humans are passionate about cats.
However, the cats generated by this ** are too random, and they are all headshots, and they are not so cute because they are too much like real cats, so they can't threaten the cat's livelihood. In the past two years, AI painting technology has matured, and people have begun to use tools such as Midjourney and ChatGPT to make cats.
In a tutorial post, the author first opened ChatGPT and gave him instructions: Your role is the operator of Douyin, and you are running an account where cats like humans share outfits, and then ask ChatGPT to provide him with inspiration and specific descriptions. If you are satisfied with the generated inspiration, let ChatGPT translate the description into English, then open Midjourney, copy the instructions written by ChatGPT, and then choose your favorite from the ** generated by Midjourney. If you want to make it further, upload the generated ** in Midjourney into the AI generation tool Pixverse AI, and let ChatGPT write a paragraph of **content descriptor and generate it with one click.
The whole job is to give the AI a demand and let it command another AI to work, and if you are not satisfied, you can fix it in Jianying, and you can send it to Douyin to deceive fans. That's the idea, the rest is up to individual practice. The author said that the biggest difficulty in this job is to train the AI, "The AI has its own imagination and may input exactly the same keywords, but the things it generates are completely different, and each time it is entered, it is a set of words, I don't know which word plays a role, and I have to keep trying and modifying." "Especially for AI animals like Zhuang Zhuang who take the IP route, it is even more important to maintain a consistent image, if it is a Shiba Inu today and a corgi tomorrow, then it will definitely not be an IP.
There are some entrepreneurial bloggers on Douyin who have done a project analysis about AI cats, ** It says that "30 can be generated in 1 minute", and the number of fans has increased by more than 10,000 in a single month", which makes people want to move, and they can't wait to start making AI cats and cats to make money immediately. In fact, AI tools are like BFang, how well Party B is doing depends mainly on Party A's command ability. AI can indeed replace humans to draw exquisite paintings, but the specific animals created are not cute, and whether the images will be popular or not also have certain requirements for the author's aesthetics. At present, most of the AI animals that are popular on the Internet have a common characteristic: they are highly scene-based, which makes people resonate after watching them, and feel that this cat is not only cute, but also "the world is different".
For example, the hard-working cats, the first batch of Chinese New Year cats returning to the village, the cats who make it difficult to choose in front of the freezer, etc., people like these cats, essentially because they like their similarity with themselves. Therefore, it is not good to just be able to carry keywords, and there must be a reviewBeauty and a sense of net, in order to create the popular electronic cat. (The commander of Party A, who doesn't understand anything, still can't understand the command, let alone command the computer.) ）
Like bloggers in other fields, most of the ways to monetize social media accounts are through advertising: brands think your account is good, and invest some money for you to help them promote it. From this point of view, the electronic cat account is better than the traditional pet blogger sales, the general pet account can receive the promotion is basically pet-related products, cat food, toys, snacks and the like, as well as vacuum cleaners, sweepers, air purifiers and other pet owners may need to use products. Pet numbers generally have to be set up to love pets, and if you pick up some cat food that obviously has a very bad reputation, it is easy to be scolded, saying that the blogger is just what rotten money is, and it is closed.
If you look at it this way, the employment space of electronic cats is obviously better, they can accept any type of advertisement, wear a down jacket to watch the snow if you want to push clothes, become a cat driver in seconds if you want to push a car, and eat hot pot around the stove if you want to push a hot pot restaurant, AI can create unlimited advertising space for them, and even save money for scene layout. And no one will question an AI blogLord: Why did you feed your cat such poisoned food? The disadvantage is that the electronic cat account does not have a strong conversion ability, so the brands that advertise with them are generally to brush their faces, and they may not be able to sell if they bring goods, which also dissuades a large number of advertisers. The author is thinking about how to better develop the account into an IP, for example, she thought about itMake some cultural and creative products, such as dolls, stickers, etc.
However, there are still some unclear legal issues that need to be resolved: does the copyright of a kitten created by humans with AI belong to the computer or to the author? Does humanity have the right to use it for profit? Do I need to give AI a share? The authors are already preparing the relevant application materials, and if approved, they may be the first AI-generated IP. In addition to this, alsoThere's a very old-fashioned way to make money: training. On Douyin, I posted ** dismantling a well-done tuba, "1 month soaring xx fans", "you can learn if you have hands", "you can make money if you learn", let everyone pay hundreds of yuan in tuition to study, in fact, it is still that set of things to teach. (To recap: use Chat GPT first and then switch to Midjourney).
The method is not difficult to learn, but the difficult thing is that everyone may not be able to create good things to attract traffic after learning it. (What good can you expect from someone waiting for someone else to chew up the knowledge and feed it to their mouths?) Overall,That's how to make money with electronic cats at present,Among them,AI plays more of a tool's role,Compared to creating a non-existent cat,What's more difficult is how to make everyone fall in love with a non-existent cat,How far can it go,Or the author's own creation。 But it's clear that this project has a huge, incomparable natural advantage, because no human can resist a cute cat.
