More proof that we have gone too far.

quote:

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.

This is theft of another persons app that was built out of respect for her deceased friend and work partner. They were both Russian coders living in SF and he died in an accident. His partner took all his text communications he sent to his friends and used those to develop a chat bot that all his friends use for his inspiration.

It was very neat. They type in a message and then get a response using words he had used at some time based on the subject matter.

Was just thinking this! A lot of what we’re seeing is coming straight from that show. Scary.

I keep having the image of the guy that rides the exercise bike to earn points to try to win the reality show and escape his “work” in my head. Or the one where everyone gets a social rating ti be able to participate in commerce.
