#2very fun! sadly the examples or code things in the page weren't working for me, but I like the concept. Of course this would be a terrible thing socially if overused or whatever but lets get away from techno-dystopia worrying and acknowledge this is a neat toy project with the potential for shared laughs!

#3One wonders if eventually - historians will plug all the content from a person's personal notes, their diary, their chat logs, into an LLM, and perform research by talking to the AI about the person's life?
If you trained an LLM against all the recorded discussions of Einstein - is it that different from talking to Einstein himself?

One level further: the historian asking questions is itself an AI meaning as soon as primary sources are provided, interesting history insights flow out.

Yes, his daily visual, touch, hearing, smelling, readings... perceptions will be missing from the model.

#10Great write up, thanks for posting. I’ve been thinking of doing this for myself.
One thought that’s haunting: how long before AI friends are more interesting and stimulating than any real person would be, leading people to prefer AI over humans to befriend…
Super stimulus to end all super stimuluses?
