Imagine sitting down with an AI model for a spoken two-hour interview. A friendly voice guides you through a conversation that ranges from your childhood, your formative memories, and your career to your thoughts on immigration policy. Not long after, a virtual replica of you is able to embody your values and preferences with stunning accuracy.

Okay, but can it embody my traumas?

[–] moistclump@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Maybe some of the symptoms of the traumas that you exhibited during the interview.

lol because people always behave in ways consistent with how they tell an interviewer they will.

If I can make a version of me that likes its job then that will be a deviation from the template that's worth having. Assuming this technology actually worked, an exact digital replica of me isn't particularly useful, It's just going to automate the things I was going to do anyway but if I was going to do them anyway they aren't really a hassle worth automating.

What I want is a version that has all of my knowledge, but infinitely more patience and for preference one that actually understands tax law. I need an AI to do the things I hate doing, but I can see the advantage of customizing it with my values to a certain extent.

I'm calling BS on this one. "Values and preferences" are such a far cry from Actual Personality that it's meaningless. Just more LLM hype

I actually have wanted to try this out to see how accurate it can actually be. I already have conversations with myself, so I can truly compare the reality to a LLM. It's actually weird that even the supposed "unlocked and able to generate anything from anything" tools I've found still don't let you just input direct forum posts and shit to use. Though, I can totally understand why; most people probably aren't gonna use it with their own shit, but someone else's.

It wouldn't be that hard to write a tool to pull from all of your social media accounts, Twitter, Facebook, Lemmy, I assume blue sky has an API, and just dump it into a big text file that you could give to a AI. I assume it understands CSV format.

Obviously Reddit is out of the question.

But I would only be comfortable giving an AI that much information about myself if it was 100% running locally. Which is probably why no one's done it yet.

Great. Now I can see first hand how annoying I am 🤔

[–] Curious_Canid@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 months ago

I like you.

I'm pretty sure we already explored this timeline in a black mirror episode

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 8 months ago

I was thinking more like White Christmas but yeah.

Just one or all of them? /s
