A TechCrunch writer created an interactive AI avatar of himself that readers can talk to, after training it to discuss venture fraud. He says the experiment left him with mixed feelings about making AI clones of ourselves.
Why it mattersIt is a small but tangible glimpse of a bigger question: when an AI can imitate a person in conversation, does that feel like a useful extension of their work or an unsettling stand-in?
Discuss: Would you use an AI avatar of a journalist or expert to ask questions, or does putting a person’s conversational likeness into a bot cross a line?
