Man rebuilds dead girlfriend as a GPT-3 chatbot

Sam recounts a real story of a man named Josh who fed his deceased girlfriend's social media messages and texts into GPT-3 to recreate a chatbot version of her he could still talk to — and ties it to a Bourdain documentary that used AI to read an email in his voice.

“I read this story about this guy last week named Josh. And basically what happened was his girlfriend died and he used GPT-3 or GPT-3 and he loaded up a ton of social media messages, like, you know, Facebook messages and tweets and Twitter stuff or, and, and, and text stuff that she had said. And he put it in the GPT-3 and he made a, girlfriend who knew she died and he could talk to her and like feel like he's still connected.”
