Guessing the claims here are exaggerated, but I can see great potential here
if it is even partly true.  My perennial obsession is to provide some kind
of software with my voice and expressions to stand in for me here after I am
shipped off to some nursing home, and when I am there, to entertain me with
the voices of my bride and others I care about who may no longer be with us
then (and may that day be maaaany decades in the future.)

 

I want something that can take my voice into software and express awe and
amazement at the newer technologies to come which my bio-body won't be able
to appreciate, as well as come up with a terms less redundant than
"bio-body" and less morbid than "cyber-zombie."
