Meta has been granted a patent outlining an AI system capable of simulating a user’s activity on social media to post after their death.
Some fucked up shit.
*.avif is definitely a man made horror beyond my comprehension.
the future is when you can’t buy RAM because your dead cousin is using it to spam your feed with their antivaxx ideas.
There are like three episodes of Black Mirror about this.
Here comes black mirror
Hey guys! We’ve invented the Dead Person Simulator from that Black Mirror episode “Don’t Invent Dead Person Simulators!”
Who’d’a thought that series would not only be a scathing critique of at that time existing technology, but a precise depiction of what’s going to happen only a decade later.
Literally a black mirror episode.
That is messed up on an entirely different level.
Black mirror had a episode about this years ago. It’s crazy no one patented this before.
Would the black mirror episode not count as prior art and therefore invalidate the patent?
Didn’t think I’d cross digital necromancy off my bingo card!
They’d probably opt you into it by default without telling anyone…
This is dumb and fucked up, but I also look forward to the AI analog for @SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world constantly following up its own posts with apologies and banning itself.
If you ban yourself too often you’ll go blind which is why I never have.
“Dad, I’m over here”
Can people at Meta stop emulating Black Mirror. Please.
Let those bot accounts sign up for credit cards, see how fast they get shut down
We are going to need a lot of new laws to stop nonsense like this. There is nothing positive to come from faking humans that are dead.
Gotta keep those engagement numbers up.
