EchoVault digital clone infers meaning but refuses to invent family facts
Emojinapp · reddit · 2026-08-21
EchoVault builds a digital clone from user interviews for posthumous interaction. A core challenge is balancing inference with factual integrity: the system can synthesize an answer about 'life's meaning' from disparate memory fragments, but it strictly refuses to answer questions about missing biographical facts, like a grandfather's name. The creator argues that for digital legacy, it is better to say 'I don't know' too often than to fabricate convincing false memories.
