Watching Matlock with Kathy Bates tonight. If you recently saw the "AI episode", as I'm calling it, what did you think?

So, it was basically about creating an AI profile of a loved one based upon their old emails, texts, messages, videos, etc., that supposedly will take on the characteristics, conversational patterns, and thought processes, and looks of that person, giving the feeling you're having a video chat with that person themselves and not an AI creation. On Matlock, they used it to win a court case, of course. But, in your real world, right now, if the technology was available to you personally, would you go for it? Would you spend hours chatting with a computer program that was designed to falsely bring "back to life" someone you used to know and loved?

There is no wrong answer, just a personal opinion.

For me, it would all be really creepy. I mean, I think we'd all love to talk to loved ones who've passed on, or to those we cared about that are no longer in our lives for one reason or another, but that all just seems very wrong and again, creepy. Good lord, I hope that technology isn't out there, but I have a sickening feeling it probably is.

Your thoughts?
