    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)

      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.

    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.

    What an intellectually dishonest title. You can’t keep posting after your death; your persona and all the relationships you spent a lifetime building become commodities for Meta to profit from

      Hey, none of that. Around here, all content is valuable, low-effort and shitty or not. As long as it was posted by a human; fuck AI.

        It’s alright. I don’t believe it was all that bad. But I never really tried or cared, so it was 100% low effort haha

      And Caprica, and Limitless (the tv show, not the movie). Probably others. (Even a Babylon 5 episode was related, but more fantasy than sci-fi.)
