In this episode of AI Meets Productivity, I interview a virtual avatar of Ryan Hoover, CEO of Product Hunt. Ryan's avatar is powered by the new Interactive Avatar technology of HeyGen.
In this episode we talk about the potential uses for video avatars, as well as the risks and potential ways of mitigating some of them.
To show the current state of the technology, this video has been only lightly edited. Please be patient when the avatar freezes and the sound goes awry; these moments are over quickly and, luckily, only occurred a few times.
Also, while the pauses between speakers can seem awkward, I decided to leave them in this time, to show exactly where the technology is and since the latency is now just on the edge of being usable. With ChatGPT and other models that I've interviewed in the past, I've usually edited out the pauses (though not with Hume).
