Beginner rule: Use AI as a helper for drafts, checklists, and explanations. Do not treat it as a final authority for money, health, legal, or safety decisions.

Short answer

An AI avatar is a computer-generated person, face, or character that can appear in videos, customer service, training, or social media.

Why this matters

AI avatars can be useful, but they can also make fake messages and ads feel more personal.

Step-by-step

Look for labels, check the source, and do not assume a realistic face means a real person is speaking.
