I mean, who wouldn't want a mega corp to take over the personality of a loved one after they die? What could be better to help grieving than seeing an upbeat post of a deceised friend or loved one about the latest insurance benefits in your feed. This is some vile, soulless shit even for meta

Oh good. This will make it less accessible to others. Next step is a ban of the whole idea in the EU.
Um. Can it start shitposting on my behalf so I can quit completely?
How much would it suck to wake up one day to find you've gone viral for words you never posted?
Guess it wouldn't matter if you only went viral with AI. Until the AI death threats start.

Bad enough to replace actual people with AI fakes, but maybe let's not have them puppeting the corpses of the dead, yeah?
I kind of want to get this for my family. Control the heating and stuff, idk
