I'm assuming this is something someone who plans to die someday might opt into or even be asked to pay for as a posthumous product/service? To feed their living ego, knowing that their AI mockingbird will keep their social media persona "alive" indefinitely?

And of course people's zombie accounts will all have zuck's political opinions.
