Black Mirror is so close to become true, I am really worried about such emotional discourse generated by software, how an improvement on next word prediction can lead to ressurection of a former natural language processing researcher.

No, AI can’t do that. It is a computer, not a person. It will never be a person, and WE DONT WANT IT TO BE!
Does it suck that you can’t talk to your loved ones after they die? Of course! That’s why you surround yourself with REAL people. A community. Remember community? We used to have it.
Stop promoting this AI bullsh*t. Chatgpt alone uses more energy than 17 countries combined. The reason your power bill is higher is because of AI. Just get a hobby or volunteer. Go outside. Meet people. Ffs.

Meanwhile, an epidemic of loneliness is surging through our society. Real, alive humans longing and desperate for connection with other real, alive humans.
This is ego-driven madness.

Oh look, everyone reacting to the headline instead of watching the very short video.
She’s not saying the chatbot was a replacement for her grandfather, or even a representation of him. She’s saying it’s a clever way to interact with his legacy now that he’s gone.
It’s not a perfect system, but neither are you.

I’m still pretty sure that reading the old letters left be her grandfather would carry a more genuine, authentic and deep connexion to her grandfather.
I don’t believe the Ai was able to give a genuine interaction, it’s more like chatting to a fantasy ”inspired character”.
Kind of sad and pretty ridiculous
