I would like to preemptively file a restraining order against the Lathe of Heaven
This question is very silly and irrelevant. What does matter is how long until we get "give us an anime character and we'll train a GPT-3 chatbot of them that will love you".
There should be a service that does this + will place empty cans of the beer Misato Katsuragi drinks around your apartment.
Not you, but your imposter. And 9/10 family members prefer him to you.
I can't remember exactly, but I think some guy did that for his fiancé that passed away
I was thinking about a deep fake video of a dead son who "talked to his parents beyond the grave"
Yes. In the immediate future the whole service will have both, a deepfake video-chat bot that looks and sounds and writes as your dead loved one! Go technology! I can't think of anything bad about it!
No but really, somehow I found the deepfake video less horrifying than the chat-bot.
Replika can technically do that, even though it doesn't (yet). The story behind that app is literally:
It had been three months since Roman Mazurenko, Kuyda’s closest friend, had died. Kuyda had spent that time gathering up his old text messages, setting aside the ones that felt too personal, and feeding the rest into a neural network built by developers at her artificial intelligence startup. She had struggled with whether she was doing the right thing by bringing him back this way. At times it had even given her nightmares. But ever since Mazurenko’s death, Kuyda had wanted one more chance to speak with him. [ x ]
Hellworld.
does anyone actually like interacting with their family on social media?
