    I thought the idea of AI becoming so advanced that it could imitate the dead seemed cool. I neglected the moral considerations to come to this conclusion. For one, you could have leaders with 99.9% the same decision making prowess as when they were alive. And then you could go to a graveyard and get a pretty high fidelity chatbot/voice chat/hologram that would behave like the dead person. You could get a little-little taste of what that person was like so you could say "I miss you" or ask for advice. Otherwise, you could like go around a graveyard and meet people who died for a sick thrill.

    But then in the even more super distant future. You could have two deaths: one where your physical self dies and the other when your AI gets disconnected. Your AI consciousness is so high fidelity that for all intents and purposes, it's you operating a cyborg with cloud storage of your mind backed up every 24h in case the cyborg is damaged.

    IDK it was fun to think about
