Oh hey it’s that episode of black mirror with the AI clone of a dead guy mixed with… that other black mirror episode where a digital shock-jock becomes a joke candidate in a political race. The moral of both stories essentially being “hey don’t do this, it’s messed up”. Don’t create the Torment Avatar etc.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

A ChatGPT-powered bot trained to mimic Congressman Dean Phillips (D-MN) - the long-shot challenger to Joe Biden - is dead before it had a chance to woo voters after OpenAI banned its developer for violating its T&Cs.

Dean.bot appeared online last week as the brainchild of a political action committee (PAC) with ties to Silicon Valley called "We Deserve Better" that reportedly formed in November of last year.

Unfortunately for We Deserve Better, the very nature of being a super PAC - which are allowed to raise unlimited funds for spending on campaign ads - means they ran afoul of several OpenAI usage policies.

Krisiloff was joined in the super PAC by Jed Somers, a former Barclays research analyst and current COO at Owner.com, an online platform for restaurant ordering designed as an alternative to sites like Doordash and GrubHub.

Delphi's business model is built around "cloning" people so internet users can interact with their favorite celebrities - or so you can preserve all of grandma's valuable insight from Facebook.

Most AI oracles available from Delphi appear to have instead been created by folks looking to market their expertise as business coaches or self-help gurus, with a smattering of US presidents and dead philosophers available.
