One conversation is all it takes for this AI to deepfake your entire personality

• A new AI model can mimic human personalities after a 2-hour chat
• It was 85% accurate at simulating human behavior
• The AI may transform how behavior and opinions are modeled

Stanford University and Google‘s DeepMind have released a new research paper showing how they taught an AI model to imitate how people behave. The Generative Agent Simulations of 1,000 People research created digital replicas of real people that can imitate their personalities with 85% accuracy after just a two-hour interview. A couple of hours of chat with an AI, and it’ll learn to simulate your reactions well enough to seem like it’s thinking like you.

The slightly more than a thousand participants in the study started by reading the opening lines of The Great Gatsby to the AI. Apparently, this was the AI equivalent of stretching before a workout. After that, a 2D character asked them questions about their lives, beliefs, jobs, families, and more. With about two hours and an average of 6,491 words, the AI had all it needed to build a digital clone.
