AI avatars are getting a little crazy. Tavus just unveiled Griffin, an AI designed specifically for face-to-face conversations. It doesn't just generate a realistic-looking person. It watches your expressions, listens to your tone, reacts to your gestures and responds to your timing in real time.

Tavus says 48% of the people who interacted with Griffin thought they were talking to a real person. That's the part that got me. We've spent years saying things like "get them on a video call" as a way to prove someone online is real. , and now we're getting pretty close to that not meaning much anymore.

Once this gets good enough, think about how many places it could show up, customer service, sales calls, interviews, education, influencers and probably plenty of scams.

We're moving from AI that can talk like a human to AI that can actually sit across from you and look like one. If nearly half of people already can't tell the difference, what does this look like in another 2 or 3 years?
