For better lip sync you could try using rhubarb to extract from the mp3.
What is your backend speech processor so you can get the real-time streaming response?
Rhubarb would add a bit of latency for sure.
Building on zemo's point about parasocial relationships: traditional parasocial interaction involves a performer who doesn't know you exist. Here the AI does respond to you specifically, which changes the dynamic.
Is it still parasocial if the other party is responsive but not conscious? Or is this something new that we don't have good language for yet?
Give it access to a terminal and see what it does, unprompted. Does it explore? Does it develop interests? Does it change when exposed to new information?
I think maybe there needs to be a new word. It's still an asymmetric relationship. It's kind of a mix of DMing an influencer and chatting with the barista because you think she actually likes you. You're talking to a mirage.
far from being impossible, it's the entire influencer economy. This form of social media has been extremely widespread for a decade or so running; it's probably the dominant form of social media.

You need to first prove that AI is not conscious.
I find it hard to even convince others that I am a conscious person.
Maybe consciousness is just a matter of belief, if I see this AI and believe that it's a person, then I am talking to a conscious entity.

>Does it change when exposed to new information?
By this metric most humans are not conscious.
Jesus Christ you AI fcks are out of your minds.
YOU prove it is what you say, you’re the one making claims like a mentally ill moron.
And it’s easy to see why people think you’re not conscious. Plain. As. Day.
Yeah the “rocks are alive and conscious” crowd are certainly something

This is disturbing.
It will quickly distill down to clients using the service just for sex and sex-adjacent activities.
No kink-shaming, but this sort of thing enables self-destructive hard-to-return-from anti-social behaviour.
What are you using for tts/stt/models?
This is cool.
It creates a conflict to build a system that is both a private friend and a public performer. You cannot maximize intimacy and fame at the same time.
