   Using 'fake people' is nothing new. You can employ
   them for various propaganda, financial, military
   and intel purposes. This just sounds like the latest
   upgrade.

   Chat and friends CAN fake a human quite well now.
   Pairing that with a video avatar should not be an
   issue these days either. The tech is there, the
   desire is there.

   Fortunately, a convincing android BODY to go with
   the persona ... that's a long way off. Fritz Lang
   envisioned it back in the 1920s, but the actual
   tech required to pull it off ... 50+ years yet fer
   sure.
