WSJ’s Joanna Stern replaced herself with her AI twin for the day and put “her” through a series of challenges, including creating a TikTok, making video calls and testing her bank’s voice biometric system.
Undoubtedly, the results are impressive. We are witnessing the dawn of a new era in technology, one where advancements are made on a daily basis, and infancy swiftly transitions into maturity. It’s not hard to envision a future where the distinction between the virtual and the real becomes increasingly blurred.
