How do humans do it?

They predict from sound and content. They don't always get it right.

Is anyone else thinking that it might not be a good idea to give away your voice and face to a startup that is making digital clones of people?

This is a valid concern, but we’ve always been very serious about consent and privacy. Our models cannot be used without explicit verbal/visual consent and you hold the keys to your clone.

That's quite a commitment, guys, I am sold

I don't trust any of you AI people with that.

I know nothing about this subject and I come to HN as basically an uneducated peasant. But I like technology and the discussion had here. You say responding quickly is critical and that makes sense. Humans will often do things like start by saying well or ummm, or short little utterances that allows us a second to process the information. Too much and it would probably feel like a bad trait but a little sprinkled in…

totally- it's a balancing act. There's a lot of behavioral elements here, for example how do we detect an interrupt versus an affirmation? Or often, other humans actually talk over the very end of someones sentence (in an endearing way) when they're excited to reply

Theres a lot of micro behaviors that we're researching and building around that will continue to push the experience to be more and more natural

no freaking way... I honestly don't know what to think... I had a very blunt conversation with the AI about using my data, face, etc.

I was being generally antagonistic, saying you are going to use my voice and picture and put a cowboy hat on me and use my likeness without my concent, etc. etc. Just trying to troll the AI laughing the whole way.

Eventually, it gets pissed off and just goes entirely silent.. and it would say hi, but then not respond to any of my other questions. The whole thing was creepy, let alone getting a cold shoulder from an AI... That was a wierd experience with this thing and now i never want to use anything like that again lol.

A question that's going to become very real very soon is this: If I video call someone and need them to prove they are human. What do I do? Initially it will be as easy as asking them to stand up and turn around, or describe the headlines from this morning's news. But that won't last long.

What's the last thing an AI avatar will be able to, that any real human can do?
