Now I can criticized and ridiculed for my life choices from the grave.

On the flipside, I get to do the same when I die.

This is clearly a lie. I'm assuming there's an AI that looks at public or personal feeds, which, gross, and also, sad.

If my family pays money to grant my lifetime of social media posts to an AI, I'm gonna be so dead!! Disappointed maybe, but definitely dead!

You can also change it to a memorial page. I remember when there was a big fuss over what would happen to people’s social media feeds (especially Facebook) after they died. My mom told me it’s my job to lock her Facebook page after she passes.

Deepfake version of a relative creates deepfake relationship that helps you kid yourself that your fake ‘closure’ has healed your real weeping soul. Sounds about right for the instagram / tiktok generation. If your Dad was, say a bully or a violent drunk or a gaslighter is the AI going to either know this or fake apologise? A more realistic fake Dad would continue to deny and bully you into being gaslighted. Neither of these is going to be healthy. The ethical issues with this are off the chart.

>For some, this tech may even be alarming, or downright creepy.

I can't possibly be in the minority in thinking this is morbid and will further loosen our collective grip on reality...

I'm just going to create a script that deletes my feed and replaces it with a bunch of logical fallacies, links to malware and strings to delete tables in various database systems. Fuck their AI, they failed to agree to MY terms and conditions.

I fear for anyone who spends too long in alternative reality or who erects an entirely false narrative about themselves for the purposes of social acceptance within social media. There is something deeply philosophical in the topic of is reality real anyway, but I’m not a philosopher or a physicist. Anyways the ethical side of things is to me the most worrying. Generation probably was the wrong word. And I’m tired.

Probably because naturally one generation will be dying off at a greater rate and the other is growing up in tech. The better question might be; Why would you slight gen Z with the comment, "sounds about right for the instagram / tiktok generation."? Don't you realize you've turned into your grandparents who complained about your atari/nintendo/star wars generation?

IMHO though, I think both generations were kinda right. For decades our focus on what's cool and fun have distracted us from civic and personal financial matters that have allowed corporate America to thrive at the expense of our people. We 'respected our elders' and they screwed us. But I'm just a grumpy ol fuddy duddy.

Ouija board does that. Only problem is identity theft is even an issue in the afterlife so make sure to encrypt a pass phrase with loved ones to verify.

“Phishing as a service” has recently become a thing so if this does not already exist in some form I bet it will soon.

Everyone mentioning Black Mirror, but The Orville, and even further back Star Trek: TNG, did this, albeit with a holodeck. They were constantly bringing in dead people, using what was known about them from history, and in the case of Orville the social media and text messages of a long dead woman, and extrapolating their personality.

There's nothing misleading about this headline, or the article.

Also, if my dead Mom's voice-likeness doesn't drip with passive aggressiveness, it won't be believable.
