Meta has been granted a patent outlining an AI system capable of simulating a user’s activity on social media to post after their death.

Some fucked up shit.

      Only way to delete your account properly is to never have made one or let ignorant people post YOUR image to FB

          ikr, luckily every time I check I still have no ghost FB account nor can I find myself on google.

          Took a course at college in '12 and one of the classes the assignment was to search for ourselves online, the prof clearly stated that “I couldn’t find myself” was not an acceptable outcome. So when I went to deliver the news that I was going to get a zero because in 30+ pages of google I could not find any mentions of myself, I was the first and prolly only person to get full marks on that assignment

            I suspect that the professor was trying to make it so that people would put some effort in instead of just giving up and lying.

              Oh I did find many many with similar names, but nothing that indicated me. It was fun and I did expect him to give me zero on it, but when one does not have social media one has difficulty finding oneself online hehe
