Pivot to AI[]

In December 2022, Jordi posted on his Twitter page that he wanted to clone himself in 2023 using AI.[35] After a couple of videos and many hate comments, in September 2023, he uploaded an apology video to his Youtube channel and Twitter page.[36] That video was also made using AI, but more realistic, and hinted at the end of Kwebbelkop AI before mentioning he was in the process of creating a better "Kwebbelkop 2.0 model" replacement.[25][37][38][39]
