Creepy embodied AI avatar gives a face and a voice to ChatGPT interaction

AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Bing Chat and Bard are becoming more and more popular, but what if they could also have a human-like appearance, voice and even emotions?

That’s the idea behind WEHEAD, an artificial intelligence device that transforms ChatGPT into a lifelike avatar that can interact with you in real time.

How the AI head sees and interacts with you and your environment

WEHEAD has built-in computer vision, emotional intelligence, and object recognition. It can see your face, recognize your emotions, and respond accordingly. It can also detect objects in your surroundings and interact with them. For example, it can read a book with you, comment on a painting, or play with a toy.

WEHEAD can also adapt to different looks, voices, and manners. It is constantly learning from your habits and preferences and adjusts its behavior accordingly. You can also create your own avatars starting in March and customize their looks, voices, and manners. You can also switch between different languages and accents.

Kurt’s key takeaways

WEHEAD is an interesting device that lets you talk to ChatGPT’s avatar and experience a new level of human-AI interaction. WEHEAD offers a range of features and benefits that can enhance your learning, well-being, and communication. Admittedly, watching a demonstration of WEHEAD moderately freaked me out. It will be interesting to see how the public responds to WEHEAD and what other devices follow their lead.
