Their voice sounds so realistic, that unlike the avatar, my monkey brain is not fathoming it being unreal.

From https://www.dwarkeshpatel.com/p/gwern-branwen:

"In order to protect Gwern's anonymity, I proposed interviewing him in person, and having my friend Chris Painter voice over his words after. This amused him enough that he agreed."

Thanks. I was kind of puzzled that the voice is so natural and the avatar so freaky.
