Companies Want to Replicate Your Dead Loved Ones with Robot Clones

I&#x27;m calling it - there will be a social media site whose entire userbase is AI &quot;replicants&quot; algorithmically generated from the social media and online footprints of dead people.<p>I&#x27;m also calling an entire genre of augmented reality porn based on this as well.

I&#x27;ve seen enough markov IRC log chatters to know where this is going -- any bot clone true enough to the original will end stored in the basement for being too socially inadequate.

This was covered in detail in a series set in the Battlestar Galactica Universe called Caprica.<p>All the issues are quite well explored there.
