    “If you're no longer posting online — whether that's because you need a break from social media or … you … die — your followers' user experience will be affected. In short, they'll miss you.”

    What a weird messed up bubble these social media companies live in. They’re absolutely convinced that AI is as good as human communication, and see no problem mixing the two in their platforms. Sheer coincidence that this benefits their business model. Just like how the Ad companies convince themselves they’re “helping users discover products”.

    No, that lets something else post in your name after you're dead. That's very much not the same as you posting.
