The DAS crew discussed the idea of using AI to have conversations with historical figures, celebrities, or fictional characters based on their writings and biographical information. This could allow people to have virtual conversations and "have them at your table." Key Points Discussed - AI Personalities: Companies like Meta and Character.ai are developing AI personalities based on real people and fictional characters that can hold conversations. - Accessing Knowledge: AI could provide access to the knowledge, research, and perspectives of experts, academics, ancestors etc that is not widely available now. - Business Applications: AI personalities could be useful for entrepreneurs to assemble a "super team" of advisors or for education by making learning more engaging. - Human Connection: Some hosts feel a fully authentic human personality and emotional connection may be difficult to recreate with AI. The information access may be more feasible. - Legacy: Creating an AI version of yourself could allow you to pass on your information and knowledge to future generations. But capturing a full personality may be unrealistic currently. Wrap Up - AI personalities are developing rapidly and opening up new possibilities for conversation, education, business advice and preserving knowledge. - But emotional connection and accurately recreating full human complexity and nuance remains challenging. - Overall this technology will continue to evolve quickly and have many practical applications as well as implications for how we interact.
