Microsoft patent shows plans to revive dead loved ones as chatbots

Microsoft has been granted a patent that would allow the company to make a chatbot using the personal information of deceased people.

The patent describes creating a bot based on the “images, voice data, social media posts, electronic messages”, and more personal information.

“The specific person [who the chat bot represents] may correspond to a past or present entity (or a version thereof), such as a friend, a relative, an acquaintance, a celebrity, a fictional character, a historical figure, a random entity etc”, it goes on to say.

“The specific person may also correspond to oneself (e.g., the user creating/training the chat bot,” Microsoft also describes – implying that living users could train a digital replacement in the event of their death.

Microsoft has even included the notion of 2D or 3D models of specific people being generated via images and depth information, or video data.

"living users could train a digital replacement in the event of their death."

Nobody could possibly be that vain.

clever.

first, GateXi tracks the population,
for the murderers (virus makers and “Vaccine” makers),
and then, sells them the software to talk to AI replacements.

why is he allowed to breathe air?

At first blush, I was revulsed......

Then I thought about it, we currently do this with historical figures.....

There is really no ethical, moral, or Biblical reason against it that I’m aware of......

Final opinion, Ehhhh...whatever.....

Judaism has a thorough, tested method for grief, mourning and MOVING ON!

Microsoft is here to replace successful religious practice with the macabre mind numbing stasis of the paat.

There was an experimental project on virtual assistant. Its voice was the dead mother of a girl. It gives the feeling that mother's spirit is with her daughter helping her. Her mother is dead, but she is still watching over her.

That was the concept. I knew somebody will take it to the next level, a full-fledged personal assistant with same profile including close replica of voice of the deceased.

It is a matter of time. Expect this to become widespread in near future. People will spend a lot of money to get one.

It has a powerful selling point: your dead parent as a guardian angel. However, it won’t let you grieve and move on. The dead parent will hover over a person for decades.

Hey wait!

That was MY plan, I was going to have a solar powered military grade AV display on my tombstone with an AI me modeled after Max Headroom.

I also want a night vision casket cam so people can see my decomposition in real time.

All internet enabled of course.
