And in the case of zombies, let's not forget the "deadbook" phenomena, which many predicted already back when FB was only picking steam: accounts from dead people, but where others sometimes still comment / upvote / like / tag / whatever.
I remember a post saying "Hey xxx, long time no see, what are you up to?" to someone I knew who was dead more than a year ago.
That was chilling and eerie.
- ezekiel68 2y ago> That was chilling and eerie. I'm sorry that upset you. But I have to wonder -- can't that happen in any community setting (online or RL)? For example -- imagine returning to your hometown and stopping by at a neighbor's house only to find they had passed on. How is that really different? In the end, death is a part of life.
- lookalike74 2y agoIs that really analogous to one of the world's largest social media sites, especially one with AI that knows exactly what ads to serve you and your friends but not that you're dead?
- staticman2 2y agoThe AI could probably tell you are dead (with some false positives) but it would be pretty insensitive to have an AI announce the passing of a human, so I imagine they'd keep the AI hands off when it comes to death.
