An AI painter that creates portraits based on the traits of human subjects
Jun 2020, phys.org
Embodied Conversation Agents (ECA) - First it talks to you, and then it paints your portrait based on who you are, because it knows who you are, better than you do.
They call it their "empathetic ECA avatar" and I call it an intelligentity. Eventually it will be called a semibot, for half computer, half human. OKCupid will buy the rights, and the next time you think you're getting catfished, it might actually be you catfishing yourself via one of these.
Post Script:
I'm imagining a future where we need a self-insurance policy to protect ourselves from other instantiations of ourselves who might try to sabotage us for their own benefit. If you think this sounds a bit much, then you need to read Ted Chiang's "Anxiety Is the Dizziness of Freedom" (2019).
