Potentially one could obviously use it to design and modify the narrative. So you have an ever-changing story, whether it’s a game, a movie, or a TV show. You could go into your home and record the AI on your streaming platform. I want a movie with my photorealistic avatar and Marilyn Monroe’s photorealistic avatar. I want it to be a romantic comedy because I’ve had a rough day and the AI produces a very competent story with dialogue mimicking your voice. He mimics your voice and suddenly you have a 90 minute romantic comedy starring you. This allows you to adapt your story to your personality.
