Okay... so honest question: how long did it take for you to close the linked video?

In my case it was about 45 seconds. The weird hands/body language creeped me out and when combined with the synthetic voices I just couldn't take it.

I'm convinced the AI had the hand on a loop. It's like watching someone's first presentation in speech and debate class. It will look better eventually, but I doubt it'll figure out the subtle emphasis great body language adds to speech.
