>I have noticed that it's harder to feel people as fully human when they're little 2D movies. Even moreso when they're disembodied voices.

This is exactly how see online meetings. It doesn't feel like I'm interacting with real people. I can't gauge people's level of attention. Conversational turn-taking feels like swimming through mud. And we don't even have the basic expectation that speaking more loudly (or softly) is perceived accurately by the listeners.

Just a deeply frustrating experience all around.
