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 3 weeks 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.
