it doesnt work that way, lots people including me came up with AI avatar way way before Ani. In fact, I worked on an Avatar TTS project 2 years ago using Unity, just a few months after chatgpt initial stable release with the model being Unity-chan. I did not bother completing it though as I got busy with studies and basically got demotivated by people to just stop it. Also, code was even more shit then when I just started using game engines, so repo stayed private.

So the idea isn't unique, its just that X and big tech companies have a reputation, so anything they shit out would immediately gather so much attention even if millions already thought about it or implemented it before them. If anything, from my pov, Ani is a clone of my project heh
