China has a flourishing market for deepfakes that clone the dead. The same technologies are being used by Chinese people to make replicas of themselves, their children, and famous public figures.

That’s not creepy

It does have high creepy potential (all deepfakes do), but I can understand the appeal. Make sure you take some nice videos of the people you love, and let them take some of you. Death doesn’t always come with a warning, and you don’t want to be wishing you had some recordings.
