oh definitely. i agree here. can't wait to read the rest of the sentence, probably saying something meaningful about the creative benefits of unstructured writing, or the importance of relying on your own thoughts and language and unique voice in the era of LLMs

Personally, I do not want my likeness to persist after my death, nor do I wish for a company to be able to leverage my likeness after I leave said company.
I appreciate your take, I just think it is not in line with the current trajectory outside of some unique HN posters and the like - and even they will probably wake up one day realizing some entity also already owns their likeness, albeit the HN user might have a local copy they hand crafted themselves using some cobbled together hardware.
I would absolutely not suggest doing what I am doing to an average user.
edit: Frankly, just by thinking I am above average I might be inviting a more risky behavior.

I suppose one could order all the data over time -— decades — and then train a model incrementally every decade and imitate me better at a point in time.
I suppose one could also narrate thoughts and feelings associated with many transcripts, which would be very tedious but would make the LLM imitate not just style but some amount of internal monologue.
I suppose one level further could be an LLM learning about the variety or parts of the ego, the I, me, mine, ours. Then the Observer and the Observed parts of thought — if we can somehow tap internal thought without manually speaking — because thoughts are, metaphorically speaking, the speed of light.
Why would one do all this? I suppose a curt answer would be to "live" eternally of course — with all the limitations of the current tech — but still try.
It might make a fascinating psychoanalysis project, one that might be a better shot at explaining someone's _self_ not as a we, a stranger, might as outwardly see it: just as a series of highs and lows and nothing in between, but instead as how they lived through it.
