New thought!
I wonder if a similar process could be an early source of primitive personality emulations. Like, take a neural network and train it on a bunch of my forum posts and journal entries and text messages and emails and essays and stories and poems and any other written stuff we can find until the neural network is trained to recognize "yeah, this is something TSSL would say" and "no, TSSL would never say that." And then run it backwards so that it starts to write things that I never actually wrote. A TSSL-emulator. It could fit in with the simms and scions that the "Early History of Uploading Technology" article discusses as precursors.
