This has me wondering about a long-lived journal with a ChatGPT instance. It'd get to the point where it'd know enough about your life that it could be useful for actual advice - or retrieving memories that you've told it about. You could feed it all of your messages, and have it remind you daily of appointments or commitments that you've made, or people you need to respond to.

There was a conversation about this in a previous HN AI post. Short version: it’s going to be a game changer.

I am currently attempting to cobble together one of these of my deceased mother, whom I have years of text messages and all her journals (thousands of pages) plus audiotapes, which she left all to me.

Whether my brothers choose to participate, I do not care; it is not their decision, I am doing this locally on my own hardware (so the world doesn't learn her sufferings) and am really just curious. We'll see if she can continue giving great advice, years beyond her grave =D

Please post an update on HN once you have it working. It’s a fantastic idea.

This is currently generating too much controversy, locally, to proceed with; but her writing ain't going nowhere... and this technology has literally advanced so much in even the past few days... that I know when we come to a resolution of "what is sane, here?" that all the data will be in even better LLM "hands".
