Probably this year I would say. There’s software that does this ok-ish right now: https://www.synthesia.io/

oh I'm not talking about implementation. I mean general public acceptance of the use case.

Well I think most young people wouldn’t mind, like millennials and younger.
I’m sure boomers would come around quickly, as long as it’s saying what they want to hear.
It depends on if it’s realistic avatars or anime like avatars too. I don’t see many people accepting anime like avatars but definitely human realistic avatars.

The oldest millennials have already hit middle age.
They started turning 40 two years ago.

They're not accepting it, they just clicked a link once in the last year.

Celebs, who needs them. Their message is important but their ego is not. Just makes everyone else feel like inferior failures

I do work with digital humans, and it's a cool field. Lots of different technologies come into play.

It's fun, but still early for applications. I helped create a few in this documentary: https://www.vpro.nl/programmas/tegenlicht/kijk/afleveringen/2021-2022/de-digi-mens.html
Our partner provides the API that gets us our Digital Human through webRTC video streaming to implement at clients. We connect it to a conversational AI platform and create the dialogue and adjust anything we'd like. It works similarly to how Google Stadia worked.
As LLM's get better, so is the potential of Digital Humans

Kinda hard to get my head around the fact that it's so main stream there a 1/3rd of people are already exposed to it.
I'm aware that V-tubers over here are a thing but I always saw it as a far more niche.
How long till a main stream US or UK news program is presented by a virtual presenter?
