I'm going to guess that the purpose is to use the data to eventually build life-like, AI-generated social media influencers. The data will show what kind of faces, voices, inflections, word choice, etc. is most influential. I don't think the technology is quite there yet, but very soon it will be possible, with a little hand tweaking, to fake "cool" people — video bots. It will be used as a psy-op.

Yes. I wasn't aware of that, so thank you. The Uncanny Valley is still there — right now. That won't last forever though.

You think?

If your worst thread is being out-done by a bot in the ... what domain is "cool" in. And whom are you quoting from?
PS: What can I say, you got my goat. Vain people are very vulnerable in it (think that's the definition of "vain", but I still want to know what "it" is)
