Eric TrueI could imagine a future where specialized chatbots make introductions by automating small talk -- a handshake protocol where the bot speaks to each person in the other's voice. All are aware of the charade; almost everyone uses the free tier, where the simulated you promotes beverages at a mutually acceptable price point for your first meet & greet.
Mark Crocker@spazahedron there's a scene in #GhostInTheShell where they engage in a video conference call with high level foreign government officials all sternly talking to each other about serious issues... except in reality one official is sitting in his bathrobe clipping his toenails and his image is being generated by an AI to appear in uniform and follow most of his facial expressions, except his tight focus on his toes 🤣
We're finally catching up with the future our anime promised decades ago 😜
