The researchers have developed a new AI-powered chatbot that allows people to converse with their future selves.
Leveraging OpenAI’s GPT-3.5 model, the new AI tool named "Future You" can create highly realistic and natural conversations, as well as unique and personalized memories for each user.
Initially, the bot asks users a series of questions about themselves, their families, friends, past experiences, and future goals.
By doing so, Future You designs a possible future version of the user and also generates digitally aged photos depicting what they might look like at 60 years old.
