Comment on Meta patents AI that takes over a dead person account to keep posting-chatting

Comments

[Zuck] emphasized that such systems should require the person’s consent, saying it “should ultimately be your call.”

I'd find it morbidly hilarious (I'd be outraged too, but the lack of tact and the ensuing outrage would be hilarious) if it's enabled by default and users have to opt-out.

Using the simulation of dead people for content engagement in the attention-economy and Zuck-enrichment... If anyone is capable of that, it'd be him.

"Becky [Your highschool crush, FB knows how many hours you lurked her profile] liked your latest 5 Instagram posts... would you like to reach out?"

Finally we can all have parasocial relationships with homunculi created from the superficial memories of our deceased crushes.
