Could something like this be used to create more organic sounding digital speech?

Do you think this could have something to do with ingrained interests that have subverted disruptive technological progress? I have a feeling that there have been at least a few cases of this preventing the public from enjoying the benefits of "future living" that the 60's envisioned.

I feel like this article is outlining how to fake a lot of things... It emphasizes rote lines. It feels shallow. However, I think it hints at what it takes to be a good conversationalist: a deep and genuine interest in people. That coupled with a broad knowledge allows you to find what someone is interested in and learn from their perspective while adding some to theirs. This is the core of solid communication and conversation.
Well it would help if learning how to learn effectively... Which is a skill that can be developed... Was prioritized over filling children's heads with knowledge that may or may not be questionable... But is certainly useless in the age we find ourselves in.
