I guess we can conclude that Zuck has gone tits up and now we just get his Dead Bot.

JFC, Zuck...we know you're on the spectrum but WTAF??? I'm as autistic as you and even I know that's horrible and tasteless.

Good thing I don't have any social media accounts that need to keep going.

What would the world do without my comments?

How will my AI feel when I tell it that it is going to die with me?

So fb will turn my account into zombie account. I hope my zombie avatar will not like or follow zucks posts or account.

Here's another idea for fb to present to their investors. For a small fee I can pay while alive, my zombie account would get the option to post some cute AI slop.

I've always said over my dead body ..

...in the olympics of stupid ideas

This one seems like a very strong contender, possibly the strongest yet

Not surprising, but patents (in the US) really need to be a use it or lose it thing. They're not intended to prohibit inventions, but protect them temporarily from competition. You should lose them if you dont have a product in customer hands within a year of it being granted and if you stop making it available, the patent becomes forfeit. But i guess this is just one thing in a long list of patent reforms needed. Also, this is a stupid patent, but nevertheless, a gross misuse of patents.

It won't even let you rest in peace.

Like who is the market for this?

A trillion dollars... for whatever the fuck this is.

And what happens when you die but a week later they come out with a new frontier model, and then a week later the model you were written for has been shutdown because nobody is using it any more because it just wasn't as good as the DEAITH-39oB model and it also kept praising hitler for some reason.

Does Caprica count as prior art?

How the UK arrests AI for peoples twitter posts after theyâ(TM)re dead.

Dead celebrities often have active social media accounts run by the staff of their estate, usually with the purpose of marketing their products. I can imagine how this sort of use of AI would add a little colour to the postings of these AI ghosts.

Hey, they could add a new status (like married/single) to indicate dead/alive.

In unrelated news, Meta stock is down 2% today. It should be down even more.

I guess this proves the dead internet theory is true, alive and well. At least we don't need to waste our time with real live humans.

Just no!

I use this service all the time. Highly recommend!

Isn't it extraordinary that someone actually thought this was a good idea?

Don't we all need this?

Dead or alive, how much time could you save by having an AI do your socials?

... special waste of energy.

I do not wish people I know now to waste what precious life they have on artificial commentary from an account I once owned (not logged in for decade or more now).

I behaved differently in that account anyway due to the audience. That'd not represent me now anyhow.

Please, nobody should was energy on either side of this.

As Meta's user base "ages out", this seems more like a tactic to keep the "active user count" up. Don't let my death stop you from counting me as part of your subscriber numbers to investors.

for the living, why not also extend this to dead people. And really, it keeps people on the platform, who wouldn't want their dead grandma to like their post?

Something like that should be illegal, you're dead, no AI should act like you're still alive and do things like like posts or comment.

If only AI chatbots are conversing and posting to one another, who's actually going to see the ads, mmm? And who will pay for ads that aren't seen by human beings?
