This is probably how children in the future will study. It's much easier to forget what one reads in books than to forget 1-1 conversations with people. Just add deepfake video/audio and VR/AR as well.
This is not "talk to historic figures", this sounds like "talk to a machine that writes stylised after historic figures". I highly doubt Shakespeare spoke in sonnets.
How censored are their views?
I don't like the framing of 'learn something new' because you are very likely to have falsehoods presented to you as reliable facts. Its fun to ask Marie Curie what she thinks about blockchains, but anything you ask about her own life and work is just as likely to be fiction as whatever she says about blockchains.

You’re about to get ragged on because you posted this to a site full of people who know the limitations of your technology. But that said, assuming this was a low-cost/low-risk demo project for your firm, it’s a classic entry in building a little carriage store on the gold rush routes. People (but not HN people) are looking for stuff like this and will have fun with it. It’ll help people better understand the limitat…
honestly, the $20/month subscription fee made me raise an eyebrow, especially considering that the likely implementation is "add a prompt that took 5 seconds to write and 20 seconds to tweak to the top of every request".

This means that for most cases the personality disappears.

The limitations of using pre trained data with a simple prompt. The bot will get inspired by the prompt a little, but most of its text comes from the training which is adjusted to sound as neutral and "generally acceptable human"like as possible. This means that for most cases the personality disappears.

That's the other problem with the theory of understanding historical figures by chatting with them: even if the simulation was realistic or we were able to reincarnate the actual historical figures they'd lie, dissemble and make excuses a lot...
