Recreating 'Be Right Back': How 2024 AI Technology is Making Black Mirror closer to Reality
?? Bringing #BlackMirror's 'Be Right Back' to Life in 2024 ??
Remember the eerie yet weird episode "Be Right Back" from Black Mirror Season 2? I watched it last night and what!!!! It's hard to believe that was 11 years ago in 2013. The episode showed us a world where technology could recreate a deceased loved one through their digital footprints. Fast forward to today, and this idea is no longer just science fiction. Here’s how we're getting close to making it a reality:
In the episode, the digital version of the character speaks just like the real person did. Today, companies like #Lyrebird, 谷歌 , and OpenAI (see the astonishing release with GPT 4o) have created voice cloning tech that can mimic a person’s voice. Imagine having an AI assistant or digital avatar that sounds just like you!
(I am experimenting this at the time of writing the article, though my voice is not for a talent competition, so would keep it to myself)
The show also gave us an animated version of the character. Now, with deepfake technology and advances in CGI from #innovators like 英伟达 and Adobe , we can create digital avatars that look and move like real people. It’s not just animation—it’s bringing a part of you to life digitally.
What made the episode so impactful was how the AI captured the character’s personality. Today, AI models like OpenAI’s GPT-4 can analyze huge amounts of text to mimic how someone talks and behaves. By using data from your social media, emails, and messages, we can create chatbots that really sound like you.
So, what if we put all this technology together to create a digital version of ourselves using our local pcs/MacBook's?

Voice Cloning: Collect voice samples and use AI to create a digital copy of your voice.
Lifelike Avatars: Use deepfake and CGI tech to make an animated version of you.
Personality Replication: Train an AI on your digital interactions to capture your unique way of communicating. This is the most tricky part now, but maybe some "all hearing and reading apps" can help on this.
Why It Matters
As cool as this sounds, we need to think about the ethical side of things. Big ones.
Consent, privacy, and the impact on our mental health are important considerations as we explore these new frontiers.
Living in the past for some may hinder moving forward along with other possible serious consequences.
