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.
What the fuck
Found the appropriate response.
Prime time to remind that Meta probably cranks out five hundred patents every day in case they ever have to engage in patent warfare against competitors. For the simple reason that the competitors are doing the same thing.
The patents cover every little thing under the sun that they can think of, but oddly I don’t see each of those patents discussed online.
Here comes black mirror
Hey guys! We’ve invented the Dead Person Simulator from that Black Mirror episode “Don’t Invent Dead Person Simulators!”
Literally dead Internet theory
not even death will stop your family members from sending you fake news articles
the future is when you can’t buy RAM because your dead cousin is using it to spam your feed with their antivaxx ideas.
Didn’t think I’d cross digital necromancy off my bingo card!
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?
Gotta keep those engagement numbers up.
There are like three episodes of Black Mirror about this.
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”
Let those bot accounts sign up for credit cards, see how fast they get shut down
Maybe they can get Epstein’s account back in action
He’s already playing games from Israel, apparently.
Oh no no no no no…
Please, God, Gods, or whoever, no…I absolutely don’t want my descendants to talk with some void-empty limited bloody-meatground utter nonsense… I don’t want that freaking awful mess of terribly limited data to talk with my children or their children possibly framing and damaging their true memories and genuine confidence in me I had been developing the whole life… I don’t want them to remember the algorithm or some imitation of me talking with a machine or some chat bot… no… never… please no… PLEASE NO…
No…
No…
Never…
No…Some limited inhuman stupid chat/voice/avatar/anything bot? No…
Some bot that may erroneously represent me behind my back?
Never…
Some nonsense that may reshape memories of my ancestors?
No…
Never…
No…If I am dead, I am dead. I want my descendants to just remember me, talk to me in their memories, real videos, audios, and photos, my effort, my ideas and love in artwork if ever they’ll be interested… and once in a while visit the grave, at least 2-3 times per their life, if ever possible… and that’s it…
If I am dead, I am dead as my ancestors are, who are not dead for me being alive but in my memories or something more magnificent/supernatural, and how I remember them, where they wanted to be the best they could, respected, glorified, and admired, without disturbing them in memories, soul, and the heart they gifted me, who I will always appreciate, respect, and love…
Imagine how many AI-written patents are being submitted everyday.
And it seems like the patent office just approves whatever comes in these days without even looking at it, they just hope the courts will sort out any conflicts.
Bye bye patent system. Have a cool idea you want to patent? Too bad. It was already patented word for word by some company using AI to churn out patents made up of every conceivable word combination in the English language.
