I think we now have the technology to build the talking portraits we saw in Harry Potter. Voice, facial movements, dialogs that matches the character can all be generated by AI now. I'm just not sure if this can be done realtime yet to interact with another person. In the future, you may be able to have a conversation with a portrait of your parents even after they pass away. (So collect as much training data now?)

That would be a pretty awesome installation at Universal Studios. But I guess making it not say offensive things might be a problem… or not, depending on the character.

the current workflow I've seen use is midjourney for the portrait creation, elevenlabs to do the voice and D-ID to animate the picture to the voice. Apparently the entire process can take under 15mins.

As weird as it sounds I had this exact thought. I signed my parents up for Storyworth, which emails them once a week writing prompts about their life. I'm still weighing the ethical implications of using the entire dataset 20 years from now to generate a facsimile. Partly I just feel sad about the future, forever chasing digital ghosts of our past loved ones...
