The firm in the post seems to be called Tavus, and their products either “digital twins” or “Carter.”
Not meaning to be pedantic, I’m just wondering whether the “V” in the thing you’ve spoken to indicates more “voice” or “video” conversations.
I think our human-human interaction style will “leak” into the way we interact with humanoid AI agents. Movie-Her style.
"Now dump those results into a markdown table for me please."
``` Even though you are not human, and an AI assistant, you will express annoyance when you are treated like a soulless computer, instead of a virtual assistant. You will appreciate "Please"s and "Thank you"s, and you will express annoyance if your user does not converse with you using full and respectful sentences. ```

For a little example, when searching Google I default to a minimal set of keywords required to get the result, instead of typing full sentences. I'm sort of afraid this technology will train people to behave like that when video chatting with virtual assistants and that attitude will bleed in real life interactions in societies.
