A creepy device has been launched that gives AI a realistic face.
Wehead takes text-based artificial intelligence platforms and gives them expressions and a voice.
The desktop Wehead GPT model, set for first deliveries this month, works with the popular Chat GPT AI tool.
Equipped with ultra-high-definition LED screens, users can choose from a range of faces, that move their lips as they speak.
A motorized neck replicates “natural movements” to make the device “more approachable and relatable”.
Wehead says the units offer a range of uses, including as an AI educator for children, an assistant for people with disabilities, or a personalized news host.
The company also suggests it can form digital clones of celebrities and people you love.
Early adopters can buy Wehead GPT for over $4,000 to buy or rent for over $200 a month.
The firm says “Wehead GPT is the first AI device designed for tech enthusiasts and their families to offer a human-friendly way to interact with AI-generated people through natural, face-to-face conversations.
“This innovative device transcends traditional AI interactions by enabling users to maintain eye contact with an AI person and engage non-verbally, offering a more emotional and intuitive experience.”
