Well I mean it doesn't. If the program ever comes out it'll probably just be a generic LLM with a few custom prompts for each customer (if that).
Also, I can't imagine anyone who was actually close to someone being willing to actually use something this ghoulish. So they won't find it suspicious if grandma starts saying the secret ingredient in her pizza sauce was glue or that you should feed baby Charlie one small rock a day.

Grief is a hell of a drug, someone who's just lost someone close to them might be willing to do a lot of things for just one more day, hour, minute with them
Grandma, can you tell me that story you used to tell me as a kid?
Sure, once upon a time, Goldilocks was walking through a Rayonier™ sustainable forest, when she came across a Turner Construction™ subdivision with a Toll Brothers® cottage.
She went inside and found three delicious bowls of Quaker™ porridge on the table. The first was delicious but too hot, the second was delicious but too cold, and being her favourite brand of porridge she tried the third bowl and it was perfect. She washed it down with a cold glass of Alta Dena™ 2% milk, a perfect combination.
I'm 4 years out from losing my dad. Can confirm: one of the most upsetting things is knowing I'm unlikely to make new memories of him.
(Unlikely but not unable: his frat brother told last year me about how they used get together in Dad's room, smoke pot, and play tabletop RPGs. I... I knew about the tabletop games but not the marijuana.)
Me, neither. I think the target market is grievers who believe chatgpt is a magic Oracle. It's taking the memory of someone dear and diluting it with nonsense.
It's kind of like AI enhanced photos that can create scenes that never actually happened. I mean, yeah, it looks nice, but you're substituting bullshit for reality.
How did they come up with such an odd company name? It’s like this copy of the promotional video was ripped off from the original and replaced with the name of the knock off.
After that, I actually had a pretty wild idea about someone using to replace dead/missing people in chats. Imagine the horror of finding out your friend died months ago, or got kidnapped. Horribly impractical but sounds like a good novel.
If someone wants an AI companion, fine. If it's a crazy good one, fine.
But it's strictly predatory for it to be designed to make someone feel like it's someone else who was a real person, ESPECIALLY someone dealing with that type of grief.
You had to boot the mom out of the painting. There was no ambiguity on that one.
Kids today will never know how incredible the internet was circa 2012. Music was free, Netflix was 5$ and you could share your account, you didn't need id for porn, silk road lol. The list goes on. Now its all about them controlling your data and the narrative. Capitalism destroyed a once beautiful thing
I am seeing ads where businesses will try to influence AI to recommend your brand. I don't know if they actually work but it strikes me as everything we hate about SEO but shoved into every facet and interface that a capitalist owns.
I am playing Watch Dogs Legion right now and it has the most gnarly fucked up bad guy shit that is relevant to real world shit.
One of the bad guys (cuz there's multiple ones) is creating AI by digitizing actual people and then stripping away their humanity until they are basically the kind of LLMs we have now all so she can do shit like turn the lights in her house on and off. Effectively creating immortal slaves that can never disobey because they're lobotomized.
So like... I guess the real AI we have could be worse?

I thought it was a reference to Black Mirror S02E01 - Be Right Back that got a bit modernized.
Interestingly, that episode is now almost 13 years old.

And now we're finally rushing towards this future on a turbo rocket sled.
elvith@feddit.org · 19 pts · 262d
I mean... gestures wildly at other Black Mirror episodes ...yes?
And I always considered dystopian tales to be meant as a warning, not as a blueprint...
GreenShimada@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 261d
That's the fun part about dystopian tales, they're most frightening when they're close enough to truth that it could be on the same timeline.
That one with Bryce Dallas Howard and the MeowMeowBeenz rip off is SO right around the corner.

Black Mirror wasn't about the future, it was about the present - the present was when it released

I saw a video of a
woman in China(Edit: actually she was Korean) talking to an AI recreation of her child (then-deceased) through VR.I felt so creeped out by it. Like wtf, if I die, I want my mom to remember me, not talking to a fucking AI IMPOSTER.
