'Syntactic zombies and other beasts'

Experiments with human-like interfaces to macine learning models.  

Libby has spent a few years trying to replicate herself, and more recently her friends. It's getting easier and easier to make something you can interact with that reminds you of a particular person - though whether any of it is a good idea is it another matter. She'll walk through some of the techniques she's used to make "people", including GPT-2, voice generation and physical presence robots, and talk about some of the limitations and hilarities of making a user interface to a "person".
