Right now there is ways to use different photos of someone to build up a 3D model of them. There's a way to simulate someone's voice with as little as a 5 second clip of their voice. I'm sure that there will be a rough way to figure out what someone will reply with going through their writing or other social media interactions.
So, short story I think that the data we are leaving behind now will be able to be turned into some kind of digital shadow of the person that we once were. Think about that for a second. Our great, great, great grandchildren might be able to ask simulations of us questions. The knowledge could be augmented with news and current events. It could be like talking to a ghost. Maybe that will be possible by in the next 40 years. Of course like most things digital, it will depend on the quality of the data available. If we don't leave digital footprints and writings, people won't be able to build any kind of digital golem.
I find this idea interesting. I'm just wondering if this will be too creepy and some kind of uncanny valley.
We will see. I think that I should write more. Maybe then I'll finally be what people already see me to be: "I thought that you looked like computer".
