If you had enough text, audio and video data on one person, you could train an ML model on that data and essentially recreate that person. It would be able to speak like them, look like them, respond like them, and eventually even think like them. All of this in perpetuity. I don’t know whether this is a good thing or not but that’s as close to immortality as you’ll ever get short of reversing aging. My hunch tells me it’s not healthy - death is part of the process and people need to grieve and let go. But, there could be a future where people “live” forever in this shape and form. The more advanced things get, the harder it’ll be to tell you from real you.

Weird how we don’t have real AI robots yet. I used to think the language and speech part of AI would be the hardest part. Yet we already have it but still no real life AI bots.
Too expensive. Not good enough yet. No reason to have them.
It’s coming though. Eventually they’ll be tangible with all the functions I described.
We may have to work through some ethics and law first.
Sounds like an episode of Black Mirror
We will deserve the world we are building today. In my view, the actual utility of AI will outweigh its risks if we are able to maintain control, if not, well...

The voice part can be done easily now with only a 30 second recording. It’s scary. Check out playground.play.ht
I love the smell of my own farts. They need to make sure the model knows that. Real good whiff too.
more concerned that carefully crafted public personas will be understood as as what was... Maybe the data will be more invasive than I'm imagining.
