> Known as Japan's "god of management," the Panasonic icon is one of the most respected by the Japanese business community, and [1]comes back to life in digital form to impart wisdom directly to those he never met in person.
>
> "As the number of people who received training directly from Matsushita has been on the decline, we decided to use generative AI technology to pass down our group's founding vision to the next generation," the company said in a statement. Codeveloped with the University of Tokyo-affiliated Matsuo Institute, the model can reproduce how a person thinks or talks. The company aims to further develop the digital clone to help make business decisions in the future.

Did he ever get around to talking about back-stabbing coworkers? Or climbing the ladder more effectively by making your underlings inefficient? These are important aspects of a successful management career.

LLM's neural networks are about as complicated as the brains of a hamster. Of course a hamster that has read of all of the world's available text.
It's good for imitating styles and appearance, but I think it's a little early to claim LLM's can bring a genious back to life.

Not just that, but time and business change and what were good/lucky decisions during his time are not guaranteed to still work later on.

You are giving them too much credit.

I'm wondering if you're shortchanging the hamster. An LLM can't go look for food if it gets hungry.

More dignified and honest to frame a picture and hang that on the wall.

I'm sure it will be superficially convincing as it expounds regurgitated glorified markov chains of wisdom from a guy who died 35 years ago. But so what? It's an LLM trapped in the past that has no life experience of its own, no way to elaborate on points that were mentioned, no understanding of context outside of what was written, no capacity to learn, no empathy to the subjects of the books or the person it is talking to. It's a simulacrum, nothing more.
