        For better lip sync you could try using rhubarb to extract from the
        mp3.
        What is your backend speech processor so you can get the real-time
        streaming response?
        Rhubarb would add a bit of latency for sure.

        Building on zemo's point about parasocial relationships: traditional
        parasocial interaction involves a performer who doesn't know you exist.
        Here the AI does respond to you specifically, which changes the
        dynamic.
        
        Is it still parasocial if the other party is responsive but not
        conscious? Or is this something new that we don't have good language
        for yet?

          I think maybe there needs to be a new word. It's still an asymmetric
          relationship. It's kind of a mix of DMing an influencer and chatting
          with the barista because you think she actually likes you. You're
          talking to a mirage.

          You need to first prove that AI is not conscious.
          
          I find it hard to even convince others that I am a conscious person.
          
          Maybe consciousness is just a matter of belief, if I see this AI and
          believe that it's a person, then I am talking to a conscious entity.

            YOU prove it is what you say, you’re the one making claims like a
            mentally ill moron.
            
            And it’s easy to see why people think you’re not conscious.
            Plain. As. Day.

            Give it access to a terminal and see what it does, unprompted. Does
            it explore? Does it develop interests? Does it change when exposed
            to new information?

              By this metric most humans are not conscious.

          No kink-shaming, but this sort of thing enables self-destructive
          hard-to-return-from anti-social behaviour.

        It creates a conflict to build a system that is both a private friend
        and a public performer. You cannot maximize intimacy and fame at the

          You're describing Parasocial interaction: [1] far from being
          impossible, it's the entire influencer economy. This form of social
          media has been extremely widespread for a decade or so running; it's
          probably the dominant form of social media.
