SOME OF the visions of the future in the sci-fi series Black Mirror are already technically possible, more or less. In the 2013 episode "Be Right Back" starring Hayley Atwell and Domhnall Gleeson, a grieving girlfriend digitally recreates her boyfriend after he died in a car accident.
By scanning all the boyfriend's text messages, sent emails and posts on social networks, his personal way of expressing himself can be imitated by a chatbot. The boyfriend's voice is cloned from existing audio recordings, like videos. The technology required for this is available today through generative AI and language models.
