Building on zemo's point about parasocial relationships: traditional parasocial interaction involves a performer who doesn't know you exist. Here the AI does respond to you specifically, which changes the dynamic.
Is it still parasocial if the other party is responsive but not conscious? Or is this something new that we don't have good language for yet?

For better lip sync you could try using rhubarb to extract from the mp3.
What is your backend speech processor so you can get the real-time streaming response?
Rhubarb would add a bit of latency for sure.

It creates a conflict to build a system that is both a private friend and a public performer. You cannot maximize intimacy and fame at the same time.
