BillK, that isn’t what is worrying me.  If I use my ExI posts to train my avatar, it is using material that I may have written some time ago, when I was a silly young bahstid.  I may not believe in those views anymore, or hold those opinions, now that time has passed, and I am a silly old bahstid.  Some of the material used to train my avatar might be things I wrote two, three or even four weeks ago.  I am just not that way anymore.

 

I have an idea however.  If I can have a discussion with an avatar trained on my old posts, then I have it record the clever replies and refutations I offer back, now that I am old and several percent less ignorant.  Then I create a new avatar trained on all the new stuff.  It becomes more like the REAL me.  For a few weeks anyway.
