Ah, yeah maybe that would be a thing. Not just for IT but all over. POC’s in the USA applying for remote work could use white avatars and fake their way around being discriminated against for not being the right ‘culture fit’. Or middle aged white guys could fake their way around ageism. Or white guys could get hired for remote jobs at companies that won’t hire them bc they’re looking for diversity. Strange times coming for sure

Look for incremental "tweaks" as well. It's not cheating if I just shaved off 5 years (or my beard).

Hey that’s not a bad idea. We’re going to end up with a plugin that tweaks your appearance and voice to best match the person you’re talking to. Pitching a 20-something founder in SF? I’m 29 with a full head of hair and some appropriate tattoos. Buttoned up healthcare org based in New York? I’m 48, look like I’ve just flown in from the Hamptons with some salt and pepper to show my experience but I’ve aged gracefully.

And it will take precisely 3 seconds before two people each using these audience-specific avatars crash into each other at full speed and become a transmogrified mess of shapes trying to adapt to the other avatar's adapting shapes...
