While his face looks pretty good in the demo Zoom call, Douglas’ voice doesn’t quite match his mannerisms, his movements are slightly off, and he seems to really love gesturing with his hands. Instead of acting like a real human, the way he moves is more reminiscent of a modern video game non-player character (NPC) running through an animation cycle.
Alarmingly, this technology is adaptive, Digital Domain explains. With just 10 minutes of video and 30 minutes of audio, Douglas can change his voice and face like a chameleon. Imagine chatting with this AI for 30 minutes and all of a sudden he turns into you. Chilling.
Watch at Douglas, the latest step toward realistic AI, is unsettling
