Good luck with this. These are used for auto insurance fraud and those guys that spend billions on TV ads will lobby hard against this.

This is 1) impressive and 2) super high utility and 3) solves a real problem. Awesome stuff.

Televisions are clearly an exception to this rule and I would like to know why.

They will be incentivized to compete with open models whether those open models comes from China, Google or, likely in the future, the U.S. Government.

Why would code be a burden when LLMs are the worse they will ever be today?

Having a similar experience. Watching a muggle try to build a website with basic functionality, e.g. auth, database, etc. is an enlightening experience. They simply do not have the vocabulary to guide the LLM. My good friend calls me every night frustrated with his results, and when I watch what he is doing it's amazing what we take for granted being in the software industry. Don't get me started on the UX, that's even more mind boggling.

Just to poke, is a decent AI better than a bad therapist? A bad therapist will absolutely wreck someone's life.

This. All of this is a solved problem. It's just not a thing that most families do and do regularly. Code word, insider info, etc. "Oh I am so sorry you got arrested Tommy. Before I wire the $, where did we go on vacation last year?'

Curious what the stack looks like. Are you doing all the heavy lifting yourself with WebRTC or using something like LiveKit?

The trickest part of this, and maybe you have solved this is procuring phone numbers for clients. Twilio has put up a TON of friction on getting SMS numbers. I know this because we are doing this on behalf of some very large institutions. Love the idea though!
