Just watched some of the commercials during the NCAA tournament. “Avatars” of Charles Barkley, Jennifer Garner, and Samuel Jackson “interacting” with each other. Just faces plopped on bodies, nobody in the same room obviously. And being a lifelong Sixers fan (got Charles’ autograph after a Sixers game against the Bulls at the old Spectrum. He stayed for every last fan. Really down-to-earth guy. Michael Jordan was completely unavailable.) Seeing Thin Charles is just weird. Uncanny Valley. Not the first commercial using AI “people”, but definitely part of a turning point. AI hasn’t figured out how to coordinate the eyes with the facial muscles with the body language but it’s coming. submitted by /u/LudditeJoe
