If this happens, two^W three can play this game. If this ever becomes a thing, I'm definitely going to open a business, selling 3D printed heads with animated eyes.

Elevator pitch for VCs would be about machine learning - neural networks generating consumer head nodding behaviors that match the read phrases, as well as rising simulated body temperature in righteous awe or anger upon "reading" certain pieces of spam. And how all that behavioral data is somehow valuable (lol).

You'll need that fake head to be vascularized too. Photoplethysmography is a thing. >smile<

Okay so now I'm just meant to hire someone who looks like me to read my e-mails for me? Definitely going to have to try to expense that.

You can outsource it. Better yet, set up a startup to offshore it. Or - ding ding! - AI it, providing Virtual Work as a Service.

You can have virtual cubicles full of imaginary AI-generated people automating bureaucratic busywork being generated by AI management algorithms.

Maybe I should write a novel about this. (Or am I too late?)

I figure it's an arms race that will play out in the software space. More generally, it's deep-fakes vs deep-fake-detectors.
