A closer look
Remember when endless video calls left eyes glazed and brains simmered? That was only chapter one. The new twist is AI avatars—digital doubles that nod, smile, and attend virtually so you can secretly reclaim your real-world time. It’s a weird evolution: meetings where no one knows if they’re speaking to a genuine colleague or a finely tuned stand-in. Hidden here is a paradox—technology built to save time could hollow out authentic human interaction. The future of 'work' might include you sipping coffee in peace while your avatar politely endures PowerPoint slides.
