Assuming we kill capitalism and form a more utopic society (which the Carlinbot amusingly is all for, but also cynically doesn't think is possible), would AI recreations of existing or previously existing people still be an issue to you? I'm morbidly curious what an AI "me" would be like, and I can imagine others being against something like that coming to be.

    To me, AI is a helpful reference and information transformation tool. I have no issue with the technology any more than I do with a word processor. It's all about how it's used so it's 100% about context for me, and in this context, it's clearly a cynical and lazy cash grab by a washed up tech bro comedian.
