I'm old so I've been planning on this for awhile. I have a folder that contains all my personal data: photos and videos, journal, all my saved social media posts, all my emails and all my anonymous handles leading to everything I've ever written online. My thinking is an AI could create a reasonable facsimile of myself that my descendants could have a conversation with. I think it'd be better than a autobiography since Joyce Carol Oates convinced me by something she tweeted that no one reads autobiographies, not even close family, unless you are famous.

If I had a bot that replicated my great great ancestor I’d probably get bored quickly and then try to prod it into revealing it’s deeply outdated and inappropriate social views

You're right, the novelty would wear off quickly, but it doesn't hurt anything for me to organize a data set about myself just in case
