User expresses discomfort with realistic AI avatars from Synthesia

They suggest that demonstrating content with just text and audio, without avatars, would be more effective. AI

    Ah... it looks like I'll finally have to use the #Synthesia tool for work 😩 Its selling point is that it's so realistic that you can't tell if it's AI, both in appearance and voice, but I can tell it's an AI avatar immediately no matter what I see, so it only makes me feel uncomfortable... If it were just the demo screen and voice (and you can tell it's AI voice almost immediately after hearing it for a bit)

    あーー…とうとう仕事で # Synthesia ツールを使わないとならないことになりそうだ 😩 姿も声も、AIだと気づかない位、本物っぽいです、という売りなんだけど、私はどれ見ても即AIアバターだと分かってしまうので違和感しか沸いてこず…これならデモ画面と音声だけで(音声も、ちょっと聞けばほぼすぐAI音声だってわかってしまうけど)、アバターなんか出さない方がよっぽど良いんじゃないかと思うのだけどもね。 # AI # Fedibird
