    Back in 2010, one of my coworkers pitched this exact idea to me. He wanted to start a business that would allow people to upload writing samples, pictures, and video from a loved one. Then create a virtual personality that would respond as that person.

    I lost touch with the guy. Maybe he went on to become a Black Mirror writer. Or got involved with ChatGPT.
