What awful comments here, you're all criticizing something really exciting. Of course AI can't beat real humans, what do you expect? But it's closer we've ever been, especially since is available to consumers. People in sales and marketing know how valuable is this on improving conversion rates... if you're not in those fields, that's not for you, saying something it useless just because you have no knowledge in other domains, it's highly ignorant.

If I think about things that should be automatized with robots in this world my number one priority would be boring or exhausting work like repairing roads, mine work, deliver goods from A to B. Why should we replace the "human" part in human-to-human communication with robots when social interaction is one of the pillars that define us? I'd rather speak with an unfriendly real person in a call center than an emotionless "friendly" robot.

But yes, if "improving conversion rates" is your main priority, it may be helpful.

If the only exciting thing about it is potential for more manipulative marketing, then "awful" comments feel warranted.

Sure, or this is what came out of an effort by some startup to monetize existing ML technologies in a low hanging fruit use case of generating a deep fake. Might not be the revolution we're all waiting for.
