I said this over a year ago elsewhere:

Electronic engineers spent decades overcoming thermal noise floors so that humans could communicate over vast distances with small amounts of energy.

AI researchers, in a few short years, undid all that by making computer-generated chatter and images indistinguishable from messages sent by humans.

Until such a time as we live in a Bladerunner-like world of Replicants, being in-person will be the only reliable way to convey a message from human to human.

I'm long on travel and in-person meetings, short on VR and telecoms.
