Hard disagree -- I think you might be misremembering how EMO looks in practice -- I'm sure we'll learn VASA-1 "telltales" but to my eyes there are far fewer than EMO - zero of the EMO videos were 'perfect' for me, and many show little glitches or missing sync. VASA-1 still blinks a bit more than I think is natural, but it looks much more fluid.
In VASA there is way to much body movement instead of just being he head as if camera is moving in the strong winds. EMO is a lot more human like. In the very first video on the EMO page I still cannot see it as a generated video, its that real. The lip movement, the expressions are in almost in perfect sync with the voice. That is absolutely not the case with VASA
This one has too much movement and looks eerie/robotic/uncanny valley. While EMO looks just perfect.
