What do you think of having video chat with AI?

[ShawnBanks]

Hey everyone! I've been chatting with a friend who's super excited about developing an AI video chat app. He believes it could be a big hit and that people might even pay for the experience of having real-time, face-to-face conversations with an AI.

His new app combines both 2 models like TalkingHead and Wave2Lips.

TalkingHead appears to provide facial expressions, but its lip-syncing isn't perfect. On the other hand, Wave2Lips excels at lip-syncing but lacks facial expressions (correct me if I'm wrong). With TalkingHead, you only need a photo of your character, whereas Wave2Lips requires a video template.

So, my question is: why isn't this more popular? Do people just not care about video chatting with virtual characters? Personally, I think it would be far more immersive than just texting or looking at a still image.

False.

Also, humans. We're humans. Humans judge each-other, it's part of our evolution as a social species. Judging each other was paramount to our survival back in the day, otherwise it wouldn't be part of our natural instinct.

but people are also monkeys, and i dont want to be a monkey that runs around with smelly armpits and judges others based on who can fart the most.

We were never monkeys.

Primates, yeah.

Anyway, back to your original point; medications and social interactions aren't comparable. Again, I'll say, just because it might make the lonely feel better, doesn't make it healthy.

Drugs like heroin make people feel better in the short term too, but they're not healthy. Using AI to supplement social interactions because YOU cannot learn to socialize properly, isn't healthy and doesn't do anyone (you or society) any favors and if anything, will ONLY exacerbate the issue. Ultimately making the "unsocial" human even LESS social because they interact exclusively with an AI, further removing them from learning to properly socialize with humans.

Unless an AI is going to have social boundaries the same way humans do, then using an AI to socialize is only going to reinforce bad social habits. Since the only reason you'd chose AI over people is if you have poor social skills already.
