Good news everyone! I write this from the better place.
Black mirror type shit
Even in death, we will not be free.
I see an upside, I’ll be able to post “Fuck you Zuckerberg” for years after I’m gone.
Additionally, patentable materials must be novel, useful, and a non-obvious inventive step. - Wikipedia
What does the patent contain? Where is the non-obvious inventive step? Using an AI to impersonate someone doesn’t strike me as novel, inventive, or surprising.
No no no no no no no, NOOOOOOO. Can we do something about Meta ?
That has existed since the early 2010s. This patent should have been rejected on the grounds that it is insufficiently innovative.
(To say nothing of the idiocy of the idea. Patents aren’t concerned whether your ideas are idiotic or not, just whether they’re new enough that you deserve credit for them)
I could swear I saw some company doing this in a tech publication like 5-10 years ago
Hell nawh
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.
Holy shit, dystopia is real
Black Mirror is real.
We’re using Black Mirror, Idiocracy, and Handmaids Tale as a blueprint at this point.
Don’t forget Neuromancer.
And 1984, although people are willingly paying money to install telescreens.
I would fucking hate getting “i miss you son” messages from my dead parents
That’s abuse and harassment.
There’s no other way to look at it. It is not that relative, it’s fraud to claim it is, and it’s just disgusting to pull at the heart strings like this to make money.
“I miss you son…almost as much as I miss the energy of Five Hour Energy Dubai Chocolate Crunch!”
“By the way, you would look great in these raybans™”
Lol, this is because most of their Facebook users will be dead in the next 5 years.
How are these companies so Sociopathic that they don’t immediately understand how awful an idea this is?
Idk a lot of people are very attached to their AI boyfriends and girlfriends so I think there’s definitely a large market for this
That’s officially weird.
Because some soulless marketing drone will think it is a great idea.
Unfortunately, the c-suites can’t hear you over the sound of their multimillion dollar annual bonus checks clearing
At least we can hear their sobs when their sales slump, and their corporations nosedive.
