In this brief commentary, the speaker observes that humans tend to speak more, and share more personal information, when interacting with a visual AI avatar compared to a voice‑only chatbot. This effect persists even when the avatar looks slightly unrealistic or "uncanny," suggesting that visual presence—regardless of fidelity—enhances perceived social connection and encourages users to open up more than they would with a purely auditory agent.

People surprising creatures. You would think that it wouldn't make a difference if a person was talking to a voice agent or like a fake human, but actually they talk a lot more when they're talking to an avatar, even when the avatar doesn't look totally real. They open up more and they say more compared to talking to a voice agent. It's just like a waveform bouncing on the screen. I don't totally get people, but they seem to talk more even when the agent is uncanny.
