Fantastic technology and I love that the videos look and sound super lifelike. The face looks like most instagram influencers with vanilla broad-appeal pretty faces, which I guess is the style these days.

But what’s the point?

If you’re gonna send someone a soulless corporate drone video, is that really better than a soulless corporate email? I thought the goal of doing video was that it’s more personable and human ... an AI video doesn’t quite hit those goals does it?



This could be the face of an AI personal assistant, with GPT-3 like dialogue skills and using web search to find relevant information in order to solve its tasks.


>video was that it’s more personable and human ... an AI video

Can be made even more personable and human and can be customized not just for broad appeal, it can be individually customized for the appeal to the target person based say on the target's profile, browsing history, etc. Similar to how Cambridge Analytics did for text based messages.
