How a Man Turned His Dying Father Into AI
video description
Yes black mirror makes good points, but something smaller/simpler than what James has created already would be monumental to society's development. Making learning from the past easier but more importantly giving the opportunity for others to experience stories from cultures and societies that differed from our own. It's hard to truly grasp what life was like a hundred years ago or a thousand but while things change so much of the human experience is so similar to today.
The stories my dad tell me of when he was growing up. His triumphs and mistakes, they mirror many of my own and most likely many of other people separated a world, language and culture away.
A memorial program is something this world is in dire need of.

pretty cool! Since he is going to die, the bot isn't really for him, it's for his kids or neighbors, or whichever alien overlord finds it. Who knows? maybe by immortalizing his father as a bot, the alien overlord who finds the phone will be moved and compelled to spare the human race from its original intent to exterminate us. Or, imagine we make bot identities of historical figures who are deceased and gain a better understanding of who they were and what they did through peer to bot (p2b) dialogue? Or what about if everyone was turned into a bot after they died? Then we might learn sympathy and compassion for those who lead completely different lives than our own by talking with them. Would probably put everyone on the same page. could be someone makes a lot of money off of this idea. excuse me I'll be right back.

I, unfortunately, know a lot about grief, I can tell you that that will only make it worse as you find yourself forgetting moments, memories, you'll begin to feel guilty, grief becomes guilt. This is just going to throw you into a bad cycle of denial and despair. try to remember your father as he would remember you, not the other way round. Think of all the time he invested in you. That counter acts the self loathing and is how i dealt with a lot of deaths. Never failed me.

All I see is that he has serious trouble letting go.
But the thing is that as long as you're looking into the past, you'll be stuck in the past.
The tough part is turning around and looking at the future ahead of you. The part of your life that you can change here and now.
His creation is great, but also a trap that will keep him in his past longer.
The past is written.
The future is a blank page.
The present is your pen.

want to be unlucky for lifetime because you never can go forward?
and think about this: when you can have this for died loved ones, you can make your own friend-BOTS, creating an enviromnet in that you fully isolated. and this is not black mirror, isolation goes on in countries like japan and south korea for a long time. but now you have an app that let you never realise when this happen to you.

Don-t mean to be mean. I-m sorry for him and his terrible loss, but this is more about human capacity to over-interpret than of A. I. to produce credible personified human dialogue.
I guess in the spectrum of having a picture, or sounds, a movie, many movies etc. In this spectrum, this is a bit more: you have this neural network compression of your dad-s digital output throughout his life

I'm not with these other people when they say this is weird, if my dad ever passed I wish had the emotional strength and drive to be able to creative a living legacy of what was so great about him in the first place. Everyone grieves differently and you should never judge what people do to cope with their feelings, especially someone you are very close with.

I respect your decision of wanting to talk to your father again, I totally understand, but I think you should accept that he is dead and it is not right to talk to the dead, I think that we should accept that he is dead and move on.
Lel thats just my opinion

I understand this perfectly. My brother was a great one for leaving messages on the phone. When he passed away, I found that I had archived those messages. You cannot image what it meant to me to hear his voice. Don't knock it if you haven't had a personal experience.
