That's the point in a way, it's highlighting how unnecessary meetings are. From the manager perspective, meetings are a form of corporate theater, they tie up time with meetings to justify their job or are micromanagers. From the employee perspective? Most meetings are a waste of time, they break workflow, and tie up employees for information dumps that are only a tiny bit relevant.

There’s easy solutions. For example, when they log on to a zoom meeting they each have to say a short password that was emailed or SMS’d to them by the meeting holder, and the holder will verify. In the case where there’s high risk like monetary transfers, they have to be more cautious and double double or triple checks off of just virtual meetings in a similar manner.

Elon musk, peter thiel, mark zuckerberg - if you tested these guys theyd all test high for lack of empathy, inability to relate to people, and psychopathic traits. And most of the tech bros would be the same - thats what attracts them to tech. A tech world is a tech bro’s idea of heaven, because they interact better with computers than people. These tech bros have a lot of money, because of tech, which gives them a lot of power. So they are trying to work the world into a place where people like them, on the spectrum, feel comfortable, but the rest of us are basically slaves to their tech. And we’re letting them do it, because we’re being fooled by the ‘economics’. The end result will be as dystopian af.

I noticed a few odd aspects to this test. 1) The person being replaced by ai is known to the other attendees, but many meetings occur with people you have never met. 2) the background was plain, making him look more unnatural, all the others had office backgrounds. 3) when explaining the ai character, they showed him without blinking but in the meeting the blinking was way over the top. 4) no attempt was made to include expression even though we know ai can do this. I think this needs a remake with the above comments considered and see how convincing it could be with a group of branch managers from a restaurant chain or a bank who are not considering ai as a subject.

[@drea409]

Yeah, this looks like ai from about a year ago. Modern ai is much better and more deceptive Man, I remember about a year ago when I was watching a deep fake of former President Obama and I was saying that it was scarily accurate. It was already really good, and I was scared of how soon it would be even better. All the comments were saying I was overreacting and that it was clearly fake. And now, ai can in fact make virtually indistinguishable videos (not in this particular video though )

I think what the general public misses is how technically inaccurate AI clones are. If you're in the space and work with AI daily, regardless of how compelling the visual elements of it are, the many nuances of rapid thinking outside of general knowledge is problematic in creating something that is ultimately you. Even with custom models i've trained, it still cannot get to the same answers my team would - it may get close, but the nuances to natural thinking is always the limiting factor in AI in both understanding and articulation. Where will we be in 10 years? Unsure. But currently we're a chasm apart from where people think we should be.

[@JonathanSwiftUK]

If all the participants of a meeting are AI bots / avatars then no need for fancy graphics, it's a waste. This trickery is amusing, and disturbing, and great for scammers, but lots of humans fail to think outside the box, that's one of the reasons we have meetings, with hopefully a broad range of experience and views, so we have that 1 person who raises important questions. Can AI do that? No.

That should stop people from engaging in this shenanigan to avoid meetings. CEOs and money managers should have contingency plans where if someone is told by them over virtual meetings or phone to transfer any money or approving any impactful deals, the subordinates are required to validate the identity of that source. Call the boss, ask the boss' spouse or kids where is the boss, anything to verify the .

The AI clone just has something missing. The "something" is "humanity". However...you can see that the movie "Surrogates" with Bruce Willis is getting closer by the day. First get the "cloned" screen version off to the digital meetings then from there...work on a full Westworld like robotic self. Anyone else remember when the older societies and tribes didn't want their image taken by the early pioneers of photography?. "It will steal our souls" was the wisdom they told everyone. We didn't listen...now look.

Makes you wonder if we as humans had been in a place like this before, before some catastrophe :/
