Breaking news from the AI world, and this one actually matters.
Tavus just unveiled Griffin, calling it the first ever Human Interaction Model.
Not another chatbot. A model built specifically to hold live video conversations, in real time.
Here's the part that should stop your scroll: they ran what's essentially a video Turing test.
48% of participants, in live chats, genuinely believed they were talking to a real human.
Let that sink in. Almost half the people couldn't tell the difference between a real face on camera and one generated by a model responding live.
Think about what that actually requires. Natural eye contact. Smiling at the right beat. Response timing that doesn't feel robotic or delayed.
That's the gap between typing into a chatbot and waiting for text, versus a system that mimics the full rhythm of human interaction: latency, micro expressions, even natural pauses in speech.
The implications go way beyond a cool demo. Customer service, remote tutoring, virtual spokespeople, all of it just got a serious upgrade in realism.
But here's the uncomfortable question worth sitting with: if nearly one in two people can't tell, are we entering an era where every video call needs its own verification check?
