Our social media personas are also tiny subsets of our actual personalities. I think most people don't reveal their full character in any one medium. now phone conversations—that would be a goldmine and a nightmare.

I made a custom GPT of myself using my blog. It understood who I am, but wasn't able to replicate me very well, and mostly sounded like generic ChatGPT with some added interest in my interests. I would imagine fine tuning with enough data would be different though
Prolific authors, such as Hitchens (passed away in 2011) have been convincingly by duplicated by AI. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qIdEteK0VE

Also the 'agent' features. Our company has been blocking all agent features from regular employee access because they don't want random users building their own automations. This kind of stuff requires care and an eye for regulations like GDPR. To permit this as Microsoft wants would lead to a lot of shadow IT. Which will be really hard to get rid of. I compare it to lotus notes which beside being an email client was…

Oh the horrors of people using and adapting machines to improve their own workflows and improve their own productivity.
Most employees won't care about that, they're just looking for the easiest way to get their job done. But that can lead to hundreds of millions in fines not to mention the reputation damage. I don't like things being locked down either. But I understand the reasoning behind it.
Until you have an AI manager that calls out your bullshit and fires you without having to worry about the messy human empathy aspect.
If you still work at a company that concerns itself with the empathetic aspect of firing people, your experience isn't representative.
Additionally, small company employees are representative of a significant portion (~50%) of the US population and contribute around 40% of the US GDP.

when you have AI manager, you will have AI employee incoming

Until AI learns higher-order empathy and concludes humans are actively harmful.
