This AI system would be resident on some phone or whatever digital assistant becomes in fashion and would learn all there is to know about being you. Forgetting the obvious security, privacy, and whatnot issues for the moment, it would learn all about what it is to be 'you,' your attitudes, opinions,
intelligence, fears, hopes, dreams, interests, disinterests, relations, etc. It would continue to learn all these about you throughout your life and file them all away.
You could have the AI imitate you at any age, according to how you were then. Want to have a debate with your 20-year-old self? Tell the AI to imitate you at that age.
Furthermore, as it's a connected AI, there's no reason it has to be restricted to just you. It could represent an amalgam of the collective wisdom and paranoia of everyone or anyone specific. Want to talk about poetry with Elon Musk? Have coffee with George Takei? Anyone with a profile could be available. Personalities in demand could charge a nominal subscription fee.
Dying of cancer and want to pass on your wisdom beyond your grave to your great great grandchildren? Here's a way to do it.

Yesterday I was thinking about how this would make a good book premise. The protagonist could be the AI bot, the antagonist is the human the bot is learning how to be as the antagonist is thought to be dead or dying, leading to the AI bot's activation, but then recovers in some fashion. Drama ensues. |
|
| |
The other obstacle would be the pandora's box of ethics, security, abuse, fraud, etc. Just imagine the deepfakiness. |

That link... wow. Leave it to MIT to go even further than what I thought would be possible. |
|
| |
The books could be a whole series and take a number of genres from sci-fi horror to slapstick humor. Or really throw a curveball and add a time travel arc to the bot's journey. |

[zen] a lot of people use telephones, videoconferencing, etc. i.e. they have conversations with electronic devices and pretend to themselves that they are interacting with a human. I would argue that the difference between interacting with a machine that is actuated by a distant human is closer to interacting with a machine that is actuated by machinery, than it is to interacting with an actual live physically present human. |

//If I have to become an actor in the play// - you are basically describing computer games now? |
|
| |
//some physical interactions are constrained, but in terms of language based interactions// This is precisely the point, the constraint to language misses a large amount of the information flow between two humans interacting face to face. |

Obviously non-direct information can be useful brain input, like reading the dictionary, or exchanging typed messages on a stupid ideas website. But the valorisation of the source of the information as being human / non human is what I am getting at. Its just information. The experiential experience of experiencing the presence of another live being seems to be different. |

I imagine it could be a much more creepy version of Alexa that would eventually be put in storage as people decide they need to move on. Unless they have sort of chosen dedicated space for it. |
