This comment section is going to be full of people pointing out that the stack from "full stack developer" and "stack overflow" are different stacks. A difference which doesn't affect her argument much
But did he say his firm was going to create the software to do all this? or just that this is going to be the landscape, and your digital clones can use the Zoom meeting software?
I still agree with everything you said- this would never work. But that doesn’t mean society won’t go there anyway.
the only explanation is that ceo of zoom eric yuan already has an ai clone and sent it to do this interview
Also the future:
"But teacher, my AI avatar didn't do my homework!"
"I'm sorry to inform you that your AI avatar committed suicide last night due to being overworked"
