That’s abuse and harassment.
There’s no other way to look at it. It is not that relative, it’s fraud to claim it is, and it’s just disgusting to pull at the heart strings like this to make money.

Lol, this is because most of their Facebook users will be dead in the next 5 years.

How are these companies so Sociopathic that they don’t immediately understand how awful an idea this is?

Unfortunately, the c-suites can’t hear you over the sound of their multimillion dollar annual bonus checks clearing

At least we can hear their sobs when their sales slump, and their corporations nosedive.

Idk a lot of people are very attached to their AI boyfriends and girlfriends so I think there’s definitely a large market for this
BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 3 weeks ago
That’s officially weird.
SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Because some soulless marketing drone will think it is a great idea.

Plot twist: Meta patented it, but won’t use it and thus it will never happen…
lol
Golden@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 weeks ago
What an intellectually dishonest title. You can’t keep posting after your death; your persona and all the relationships you spent a lifetime building become commodities for Meta to profit from

No one gave a shit about my shitty low effort shit while alive. Who the fuck wants a slop version of me to be disappointed in as well?
KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 3 weeks ago
Hey, none of that. Around here, all content is valuable, low-effort and shitty or not. As long as it was posted by a human; fuck AI.
poleslav@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
This is the kinda positivity that I needed to start my day, thanks stranger lol
karashta@piefed.social 3 weeks ago
It’s alright. I don’t believe it was all that bad. But I never really tried or cared, so it was 100% low effort haha

And Caprica, and Limitless (the tv show, not the movie). Probably others. (Even a Babylon 5 episode was related, but more fantasy than sci-fi.)

If you want to shitpost from beyond the grave do it yourself

Finally, so I can keep being banned forever.

So that meta can speak through your corpse after you die.
ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
At least someone wants my body, I can’t give it away.
FauxLiving@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Meta knows that you don’t have to be dead for this to work, now you can respond to your friends on Facebook in a manner that most optimizes engagement… whether you want to or not.
Regrettable_incident@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I quit Facebook over a decade ago, but any gen AI thingie impersonating me is welcome to get drunk and post unfortunate things at 2 am and then delete them next day. Good luck to the poor dumb bastard.
SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I see an upside, I’ll be able to post “Fuck you Zuckerberg” for years after I’m gone.

Meta announcement soon: “We made an update to our privacy statement. The most sogbificant change is that we have now explicitly stated that you, the user, are in full control of your account and your data and you will have a lifelong, exlusive right to that data. We are doing this in the users best interest and comply with privacy regulations.”
Conveniantly leaving out that they’re effectively changing nothing except that you now loose all rights to your data and your account after you die.

No no no no no no no, NOOOOOOO. Can we do something about Meta ?
VaalaVasaVarde@sopuli.xyz 3 weeks ago
This is just a gimmick compared to an Alpha-level simulation, if it becomes possible.
pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
That’s a no from me, dawg.
My post-life AI clone will have a single purpose: shitposting to Meta services about how shitty those same Meta services are.

Later that same day, Kris allegedly took Lucy by the hand while she was in the kitchen and took him to his bedroom. Lucy’s boyfriend said that after about 15 seconds he heard a loud bang and Kris screaming for his wife.
Kris told authorities that his daughter had been watching a news report on gun violence so he wanted to show her the gun that he owned. Lucy’s boyfriend said that Lucy often became upset with her father when he spoke about owning a gun. Kris said he had never discussed owning a gun with his daughter before.
He was just “showing” her his gun after she watched news about “gun violence” and accidentally shot her in the chest.
He also doesn’t love her that much:
“How would you feel if I was the girl in that situation and I’d been sexually assaulted?” Lucy reportedly asked. Kris allegedly answered that he would not be that upset because he had two other daughters living with him. Lucy reportedly left the room “quite upset.”

wrong post my friend?
sun_is_ra@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
yes, commenting on the wrong post.
Thanks for pointing that out

hayvan@piefed.world 3 weeks ago
Um. Can it start shitposting on my behalf so I can quit completely?
MagicShel@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
How much would it suck to wake up one day to find you’ve gone viral for words you never posted?
Guess it wouldn’t matter if you only went viral with AI. Until the AI death threats start.
tomiant@piefed.social 3 weeks ago
How much would it suck to wake up and realize your shitmeme went viral and that is the highlight of your life?
MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 3 weeks ago
Bad enough to replace actual people with AI fakes, but maybe let’s not have them puppeting the corpses of the dead, yeah?
arcine@jlai.lu 3 weeks ago
That has existed since the early 2010s. This patent should have been rejected on the grounds that it is insufficiently innovative.
(To say nothing of the idiocy of the idea. Patents aren’t concerned whether your ideas are idiotic or not, just whether they’re new enough that you deserve credit for them)

We’re using Black Mirror, Idiocracy, and Handmaids Tale as a blueprint at this point.
