Who’s behind the videos

In the downturn I was laid off midlife by a big firm. I’m divorced and raising three children. I didn’t have the courage to beg on the street, so I make AI short videos — for a little bread for my kids, and to keep building something.

I design the characters with AI tools. Their faces and voices are generated; the ideas, scripts and editing are mine. Some viewers took the characters for real people. If earlier videos were not clear enough about being AI, I should have made that clear sooner. From now on I say it plainly, here and in the videos.

Watch the videos

These are the AI characters I make. The faces and voices are AI-generated; the ideas, scripts and editing are mine.

How I make the videos

  1. Idea and script. I write each short myself: the story, the lines, the pacing.
  2. Characters and voices. I generate the faces and voices with AI tools, usually over many attempts.
  3. Editing. I cut, time and caption every video by hand.
  4. Publishing. I post it and say clearly that the characters are AI.

Questions

Who are you?

I’m an independent creator. In the downturn I was laid off midlife by a big firm. I’m divorced and raising three children. I write the ideas and scripts and edit every video myself. You can find the official TikTok accounts for the characters I make in the Watch the videos section.

Are the characters in your videos AI?

Yes. The faces and voices of the characters in my videos are AI-generated. They are not real people. The ideas, scripts and editing are my own work. You can find them on TikTok: Yumeri (@hidden.yumeri), Amy (@dailyleggings), Linyan (@linyan.afterdark) and Eva (@eva.latexfashion).

Where does the money go?

Tips help pay for AI tools, editing software, hosting for this page, and my living costs while I make the videos.

Is this a charity?

No. This is not a registered charity, and tips are not tax-deductible. A tip is a voluntary, one-time gift to an independent creator. Nothing is sold or given in return.

Can I get a refund?

If you paid twice on PayPal by mistake or entered the wrong amount, email zc1222@gmail.com with the date, the amount and your PayPal transaction ID. Where a duplicate is confirmed, I will work with you through PayPal to return it. USDT transfers on the blockchain can’t be reversed, so I can’t cancel or recover them.

How do I verify the USDT address?

The only USDT address is the one on this site’s support section, on TRON (TRC20). You can view it on Tronscan. I will never DM you asking for crypto or money. If someone does, it isn’t me.

What happens to my personal information?

I don’t sell personal data. PayPal processes PayPal tips under its own terms and shows me the details it normally shares with a recipient. I don’t publish them. Blockchain transfers are public by design. See the Privacy Policy.

How can I contact you?

Email zc1222@gmail.com. Please allow a few days for a reply. Never send passwords or seed phrases.
