Why Xora?

… and not a “traditional” co-host? you ask. Well, I’ll tell you why.

Do you find this YouTube video surreal and Orwellian? I do. But not only that. I also value people’s time and believe that

employing a “human puppet” to parrot away a script would not be the best use of that person’s time.

Xora has enabled the production of very nice and conversational episodes just as well. Aside from the occasional firmware upgrade, I do not intend to replace her for a human replica :)
