A practical use of this would be to animate your face onto a CGI model which was independently posed for the purposes of video meetings - which is something I've always wanted.

Let me separate my face, body and words and craft the experience.

Strit up look into vtubing, and it's already done. https://inochi2d.com/
Face tracking has existed for years now. I frankly don't see what's different between what you described and FaceRig.
You're missing the point: I want a fake version of myself.

I want a model which is made photoreal with my own image, so it can be given a voice in real time with my words, but a filtered version of my facial expression and pose.

So how I look and act is essentially scriptable.

I think that’s already happening. You can buy a trained model of someone to do 24/7 live-streaming peddling products, or even black-mirror-esque bringing back deceased ones. Company in china selling this is Silicon Intelligence.
