In case somebody doesn't know about the nightmarish AI product this comic is referencing: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:tq6gqh5aaohgi55y2yofylwj/post/3m5k4ojtgs22r
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.
How tf AI has her memories?
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.
Social media scrapping? Which would be the worse version of anybody.
Could have ingested an online diary maybe? Would involve her having to type everything though
Ive seen where this leads on black mirror. Its truly upsetting stuff
That’s fucking disgusting
Holy shit that is super fucked up.
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.

Warning: don't click on this link if you don't want to be visibly upset in public ::: spoiler Tap for spoiler It's recreating a dead mom with AI :::
Yeah, we get it
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.
Edit: Looked it up, actually it's a Korean woman, I mixed it up: https://www.reddit.com/r/MadeMeCry/comments/12zkqy8/mother_meets_deceased_daughter_through_vr/
There's a whole company/llm about doing that whose CEO gave a Ted talk about it.

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.
"watch me talk about how I get rich of off exploiting people's emotional fragilities and try to pass it as providing closure and community service"
I'd be cool with it IFF it was a strong AI that could be free, like Alan Watts in the film Her.
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.
It’s unbelievable that this isn’t a joke.
Art imitates life
This is the future I reject. It is utterly disrespectful of everything humanity stands for.
Hey it could be worse... oh wait Google "ai.victim statement Arizona".
you cool with the present though?
Bro, I am suicidal since I turned 18. So, no, I am not cool with the present.
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.
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 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?
Isn't there a black mirror episode with a similar plot?
Now we have fun from it, but ten years from now we will complain about it.

Sounds totally realistic, sustainable, and statistically likely.
