Ask HN: Are we there yet? Can I create a human analogue using AI?

A Hacker News user asks whether current AI technology can create a human analogue by training an LLM on a specific person's data, enough to pass a personalized Turing test, citing potential products like memorial personalities for grieving relatives or re-personification of famous individuals, despite moral ambiguity.

But if there is money in it agree or not then it will be done. | ||||||||||| Applications are open till July 27. |
