When Luka CEO Eugenia Kuyda's best friend Roman Mazurenko died, she
populated a neural network to create a bot that mimicked his speech
patterns.
"What if it didn't sound like him?
What if it did?"

Sorry for more OT posts, but some people here will love this text, very
interesting and human. It's about love and technology.
Still crying a lot and laughing at same time. Many years ago, when my
fiancé died, I asked to all the IT engineers who I knowed if it would be
possible. I wanted him back so deeply... I wanted back all the poetry and
the music with all my heart and soul.
His best friend, an engineer like him, said that it _never_ would be
possible. He was wrong. It _is_ possible, but I never wanted a bot
pretending to be him. A bot never will write me sincere poetry about love
and sea. I simply wanted him back...
