So reality is catching up to this story in a hurry. Digital avatars of your loved ones that you can interact with after they die? Check. In this story the speculation is that people don't use these for long, but as they say here some would. Basically the Coda for this mathematician (father of the protagonist) is a large language model that focuses on math, mostly because Dad couldn't be bothered with feelings or human relations when he was alive. Really all the model does in the story is throw out a few hints--maybe GPT-3 trained with his data could do that now? Though it does seem like they work some proofs together, and that's probably more than a model can do (though not a math program perhaps). Spooky real.
