If you chose the email option instead of “sign in with Google”, the server will probably use that email address to send you a login link. This is pretty standard for any web service, even blogs, where users can create accounts.
Sure, the login and sign up process is standard. But it's not typical to provide no information as to who is operating the site, or what the site does. Do those things appear in your browser?
I only see a title, a sign up link, and some celebrity photos.
Why does the demo require an account, isn't the whole point it the demo to convince people to register?
I'm not going to give away my email address without knowing more than "clone someone with ChatGPT" on a website with no more information than four names and a title.
I think the problem I have with this is the ethical and moral side of things because people can form unhealthy relationships with things that aren’t real. It’s not a real person and people already struggle with making meaningful connections.
So, I have a legitimate question about this sort of thing:
My grandparents are getting older, and historically their health hasn't been the greatest.
I get to visit them maybe once or twice a year. I might see them less than 10 times again in my lifetime.
Given current technology, is it not feasible for me to digitally preserve their personality and experiences somehow?
My thought was that I could:
- Use an iPhone camera to take 3D scan of their bodies in a T-Pose with LIDAR
- Record several hours of them talking to me
- Ask them to give me copies of any sort of written correspondence or journals they have ever written, as well as maybe start keeping a daily diary (either written or vocal)
Theoretically with this data, wouldn't I be able to generate a 3D, VR version of them that is sort of somewhat similar?
If not, what else do I need/should I do to improve accuracy?

If you can, it's probably better to go spend time with them than trying to clone them using technology.
I've worked remotely for a month from my parents' house earlier this year, and we all really enjoyed it since we could spend time together after work. Hopefully you have that opportunity too.
I don't recall the guy's name. I don't even know what to google to find a link for you, but several years ago I came across an article of a man who did something similar to what you are talking about but as a Chat Bot (it was well before ChatGPT was public).
He did a large number of interviews with his dying father over the course of a year. Then he transposed all the questions and answer from those interviews into a database (i think). And built a Chat bot that used natural language to 'talk' with him after his father passed away to preserve his father in a virtual way. THe bot could answer random questions (not the interview questions) and form answers in the 'voice' and 'tone' of his dad bases on the hundreds or thousands of questions he'd asked in those interviews. It could create new answers based on all that data as if the father was texting his son.
I know that the article (or series of articles) I read about this was pretty detailed in how the man went about this. I'm sorry I can't recall where I read this.
I am sure there is a way to do something much more in depth now that ChatGPT is as robust as it is.
Others have said it here, but I read this and thought, "Why not just prioritize spending time with them now, while they're still alive?"
I'm not convinced that the human condition would be improved by simulation of the deceased. I could be convinced that would be a project with unexpected consequences that aren't so good.
Star Trek holodeck comes to mind, "computer create the facsimile of X-scientist, enrich the persona with his/her journals and blah blah blah" and then you get to interact with the persona.

[ 3.3 ms ] story [ 66.4 ms ] threadTo quote Nietzsche simply out of context, "many too many are already born", so no need to copy 'n' paste them.
But I would like to study the data of those that talk to the copies not just for fun.
No thanks.

It's a site where you can create voice clones of someone and talk to them.
You can tap on the celebrities to chat with them as a test
Given that - presumably - you are going to be asked for content such as voice recordings to create the clone this is a valid concern.

I'm guessing this is another character.ai then?
requiring an account makes it easier to store user chat history so that in future the AI would have the context
but maybe you're right, allowing guest usage could improve conversions

Been looking for a app that allows me to clone a face based on the pictures I have and able to create pictures with that person in it.
if you're looking to create photos of someone, you can take a look at: https://suitup.ai

Thanks HN.
