AI chatbots like ChatGPT are designed to mimic real human conversations, but there's a crucial component missing from the interaction (other than emotion, genuine opinions and an actual understanding of anything they're saying, that is). They don't have faces.
Well, a company has developed a solution for a problem you might not have realised existed. It's created hardware for those who feel strange talking to an anonymous AI bot. Because speaking to a vacant disembodied split-screen face is much less weird... Totally less weird (see our review of AI in design in 2023 for more on advances generative artificial intelligence).
