"Evan found a company that would take recordings of his voice and make a voice clone of him, which is what you just heard. Then he hooked up his voice clone to ChatGPT so that it would—you know, it could, like, talk, and it could converse and have a back-and-forth...Evan sends his bot to talk to therapists...he also gave his clone a feature-length biography of himself that he wrote, so that it could draw on that during these conversations...But to make sure it navigated the phone tree correctly this time—and I didn't lose another $90—I set myself up as the middle man, listening in. This was among the stranger experiences in my life. It felt like I was simultaneously eavesdropping on someone else's therapy, getting my own therapy, and hearing a live prank call...Rebecca tried to steer my clone towards some simple exercises. She even gave it daily affirmations to put on post-its around its house. My AI, of course, agreed to do this enthusiastically. It loves to make real-world promises like that.
