It may be too disturbing now but give it a generation or two and I would imagine we'll be ready for it. I have to say, I want people to be able to talk to me after I'm dead. I've done my best to prepare; I've created a large archive of posts on all manner of subjects, and there's a lot of audio and video samples a chatbot could select from to emulate my voice and appearance. So an AI should be able to project a fairly decent version of artificial me.
