That's there, that's good enough already.
It was good enough probably six to 12 months ago.
The video is a little uncanny valley still.
We tested a couple models where we just upload like an hour of my video and then feed it a script.
It's weird.
You know, I think if you didn't know me, you might just think this is someone who articulates themselves in a strange way.
If you know me, I think it's obvious that that it's AI.
But these things are accelerating so quickly that it's going to be there very soon.
Now, in terms of how it will affect my job right now, there is such a movement that is skeptical of this sort of thing where people don't want to be getting their commentary from someone that they know is an avatar.
Now, could it get so good that they don't realize it?
Well, that's a different story.
And it probably it probably will happen at some point.
But I think people are very incentivized to seek out real connection.
And this is, I think, one of the backlashes to what's happening with these platforms as social as we think we're being when we're connected to twelve hundred friends and DMS and all this different stuff.
There's this lack of in-person.
conviviality that isn't able to be replaced when you're participating in Twitter threads.
And so I think that there's a movement of people wanting to reconnect in the real world that maybe is going to push up against the technology as it advances.
Friction in this sense is good, which is if your instinct is when you're in line at the bank,
to take out your phone and watch 40 seconds of Tik Tok videos.
It's kind of good to resist that and to be able to resist that for a lot of reasons.
