Sequoia Capital · Jun 18, 2026 · Industry Trends

Google DeepMind's Logan Kilpatrick favors authentic personal content over AI avatars, praising tools that alter only non-personal elements.

“It's the original content. It's the person. It's like the personhood is there. It's just different and amplified.”

Logan Kilpatrick discusses a philosophy for generative media that preserves a creator's authentic words, voice, and likeness while using AI (referencing a tool called Omni) to transform only impersonal background elements like sets. It reflects an emerging industry view that the value of AI in content lies in amplifying authentic personhood rather than replacing it with AI avatars.
