Well , one person has done the next salutary thing , creating an artificial intelligence activity ( AI ) chatbot of herself as a fry by training it on her childhood journal entries .
chirrup userMichelle Huangtold people in a widely - share train of thought that she create the chatbot so that she " could affiance in real - clock time dialogue " with her " inner tyke " .
She created the bot using OpenAI language modelGenerative Pre - trained Transformer 3(GPT-3 ) and quite a little of source stuff , containing over 10 years of individual diary submission .
Huang then engaged the chatbot in conversation , as well as setting it tasks such as writing its succeeding self a letter . Fortunately , the project turned out a passel better than when a man attempted to resurrect a childhood imaginary champion using AI , and itpromptly tried to polish off him .
Huang saidthat she matte up the idea had potential drop to be heal for people , as well as finding shutdown with preceding guilty conscience .
" Conversing with ' younger michelle ' remind me of the parts of myself that have quell constant through the years , but also of the parts that i forgot or buried as life go on , " shewrote on Twitter . " It was like holding a mirror to an unapologetic , more solemn , and pure adaptation of my own essence . "
The conversation set out from what the child Michelle thought would make the world a better place , to questions about whether they put too much press on themselves . In one particularly unknown part of the conversations , Michelle allowed the chatbot to question her . The chatbot expect her what she had done with her living since writing the journal entry , before praise her for getting where she is today .
A part that stood out for Michelle was when she asked the bot to compose a letter to her future self . In the letter the chatbot says she hopes that her old ego has determine her passion , and lets her know that she is gallant of her .
