Experiments with digital twins

I recently got to know of Deepak Chopras digital twins ai website. It has a paid subscription so I decided to ask meta ai take the role of Deepak Chopras by limiting it's answers to his books. It pretty much gave me the same answers as Chopras ai website with citations from his books which is probably replying close to how Chopra would have.

So if an LLM is trained on collective knowledge of mankind and represents the mind of humanity, given there there is enough training available from individuals it can think  like any individual with his memories and thoughts would. In case of Chopra it is his 95 books but potentially it memories could be extracted based on search history, social media interactions and in general web activity, phone calls, email. This is until there are neural interface devices that can read memories directly from the brain.

Potentially each individual can be digitally cloned and interacted with. Computers can think like him and better and faster than him.

So everything of an individual other than their first person subjective experience and awareness can be digitised and mechanized.  

It's then hard to say what being human is unless one is experientially inward looking and  self aware. Any form of other outward engagement is machine predictable and more importantly redundant. Mankind is destined to get sucked into entertainment.

Actually even this blogposting activity is similar to an AI based text summary of some youtube videos my brain has been trained on unless there is experiential awareness and understanding.
