December 19, 2021 - by David

Prolific podcasters/vloggers/bloggers or even social media users, in the future, will be able to recreate a “bot” of themselves that easily crosses the uncanney valley.

Joe Rogan

  • hours of video and audio available to parse and interperet
  • body language and responses
  • multitude of diverse sources/specialties

OpenAI took the idea above and summarized it as follows:

As technology continues to advance, prolific podcasters, vloggers, bloggers, and social media users will have the opportunity to create bots that accurately reflect their personalities and mannerisms. With hundreds of hours of audio and video available for parsing, these bots will be able to mimic body language and responses with a high level of accuracy, crossing the uncanny valley that has long been a challenge for those seeking to create lifelike avatars.

These bots will be able to draw from a multitude of diverse sources and specialties, allowing them to engage in a wide range of conversations and interactions. This could revolutionize the way we interact with media personalities, as well as open up new possibilities for immersive storytelling and entertainment.
