AI elder assistant reacts with facial expressions mid-sentence, spooking Reddit user

A Reddit user shares a demo of an AI assistant called "Gil the elder": a photorealistic elderly avatar that shows real-time facial reactions — furrowing its brow in concern or lighting up with delight — while you're still speaking. The poster says he supports AI advancement overall, but an assistant that appears to truly understand you mid-sentence crosses a line, arguing development should maybe pause.
