You know what's funny, that episode of black mirror about that I thought was so unbelievable when I saw it

holy sh*t. that's so true! that could definitely be possible.

besides the synthetic body, we have the text interaction, the text-to-speech in a persons voice, and avatar generation/deep fakes. almost the entirety of that episode is available today, which i didn't believe was even ten years away when i saw it.

referring to s2e1: Be Right Back

it really asks great questions about image/reality too

Imagine training a GPT on your own whatsapp/fb/instagram/linked/emails conversations: all the conversations, posts. A huge part of our life is already happening online, and the conversations with it. It is not too much work to simply take that data and retrain GPT.

i initially tried to download a bunch of my reddit comments and try to get it to write "in my style" but i think i need to actually go through the fine tuning process to do that well.

what is the name of that episode?

I actually meant Be Right Back, s2e1. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2290780/

"After learning about a new service that lets people stay in touch with the deceased, a lonely, grieving Martha reconnects with her late lover."
