The Viral "Reviving Grandma" X Video

Everyone commenter hates it. Because you’re pretending they’re alive, and making up words, advice, via LLM or what scarce data there is. Necromancy.  0 tech, made by Disney actor. So filming was good. AI generated speech pretending to be alive... talking back and forth with real time is what they show in the video as the goal.

Grow is only to go back to find memories, summarized in their voice, when you ask about the past - not talking with you in a conversation pretending to be alive, Grow spends 10s to actually search (graph RAG, adaptive, multiple agents & critics) and find memories then summarizes.

Combined with our time capsules, this achieves the intended effect of the people who do want their loved ones, Dad, Mom, Grandma, to be there forever. It's their true memories. For when you want advice "Dad what type of car would you have bought?" "I'm lost, I can't afford summer camp for Jack. How did you used to deal with me asking to buy everything?" to big days (time capsules), milestones like weddings, 50th birthday, etc. 

What you actually want is his guidance. With Grow, you'd search: 'What did Dad say about buying cars?' and get his ACTUAL advice from 2019 when you bought that Honda. His voice, his words, the real him.

The LLM version? It fabricates an answer from fragments. Would you really trust AI-generated car advice pretending to be Dad? Or would you want what he ACTUALLY said?

And Time Capsules - Dad could record something today for your future car purchase, your wedding, your 50th birthday. That's REAL presence at future moments. Not necromancy."

First of all, it’s impossible to ingest everything about a person’s life.

• 24/7 thought process upload + senses and biochemicals, I’m not an expert here (took seminar on theories of consciousness).

• Even if you could record everything and ingest it, it’s still not how they would talk today, because there’s no growth or learning (non AGI). But when we do get AGI self-improving across multiple domains, it could take-off and the whole world changes. Or it’s still just an intelligent being pretending to dumb down and respond as your mom.
