| Invoking Cunningham's Law. I just don't see the usecase for this.
| Like what are humans fundamentally missing that this is solving?

|
| Scams, misinformation campaigns, sucking lonely people down an

|
| This feels past making a better mousetrap and into making a
| better window breaker.

|
| I think AI outputs just don't meet expectations for human
| consumption. It's just too crude like how the molten giant from
| Nausicaa wasn't ready. Their uttarances cause people to flinch,
| or if people accumulated exposure despite red flags, slowly
| drive them crazy. And I think that's the real dealbreaker of
| the big AI launch - beyond generating boilerplaty code.

| movement that result from developing trust issues between the
| meat world and mega platformers, that I think we'll believe
| when that actually happen)

| Following along with that, don't you think it's odd the

| other races.

| I wonder how many years it'll take till the VCs // general public

|
| Nevertheless, cool project in theory but they say
|
| "Imagine having a conversation with a socially intelligent agent.
| It can attentively listen to your words and offer visual and
| linguistic feedback promptly. This seamless interaction allows
| for multiple rounds of conversation to flow smoothly and
| naturally. In pursuit of actualizing it, we propose INFP, a novel
| audio-driven head generation framework for dyadic interaction."
|
| Do people actually hold conversations with chatbots enough to
| make this a viable thing? I know this is just the code but it is
| made by ByteDance so they definitely have a monetary incentive to
| make it and of course want a ROI, 1. do enough people hold
| conversations with bots to make this worthwhile and 2. are these
| hypothetical people okay?
