Pick a god, any god.

What do you mean by that? I see this use of AI primarily as a benefit. It allows dead people to be brought back to life in AI persona form, as well as allowing living people to better "connect" with multitudes of others. Hmm, can AI powered avatars of politicians be that far behind? What better way for an office seeker to cement a personal connection and appeal with voters? I can even see religious confessions to AI "priests", religious sermons voiced by AI preachers, and even AI Jesus proselytizing "The Word".

Come to think of it, I'd love the ability to "converse" with an AI Richard Feynman, or an AI Abraham Lincoln, or an AI Mark Twain. But an AI Hitler, not so much. :-)
