After that, I actually had a pretty wild idea about someone using to replace dead/missing people in chats. Imagine the horror of finding out your friend died months ago, or got kidnapped. Horribly impractical but sounds like a good novel.
If someone wants an AI companion, fine. If it’s a crazy good one, fine.
But it’s strictly predatory for it to be designed to make someone feel like it’s someone else who was a real person, ESPECIALLY someone dealing with that type of grief.

I saw a video of a woman in China talking to an AI recreation of her child (then-deceased) through VR.
I felt so creeped out by it. Like wtf, if I die, I want my mom to remember me, not talking to a fucking AI IMPOSTER.
There’s a whole company/llm about doing that whose CEO gave a Ted talk about it.

I’d be cool with it IFF it was a strong AI that could be free, like Alan Watts in the film Her.
