Even though the famous Hollywood actress Marilyn Monroe has been gone for decades, you might be surprised to learn that you can still have a conversation with her. No, we’re not talking about communicating through some obscure medium. Rather, technology is what makes it possible. A company called… Soul Machines and another company called Authentic Brands Group to make this happen, they created something called Digital Marilyn, and it debuted at a big tech conference called South by Southwest in Texas, according to indiatoday.
So what exactly is Digital Marlin? It’s like a computer program that talks and acts like Marlin MonroeThey used technology like natural language processing, deep learning, and Open AI’s ChatGPT 3.5 to make it look just like her.
Greg Cross, CEO of Soul Machines, thinks this is a big problem. He says it’s not just about talking to a computer; It’s about feeling like you’re really talking to Marilyn Monroe, and Greg Cross, CEO and co-founder of Soul Machines, told Deadline: “This collaboration embodies the transformative power of artificial intelligence in connecting brands and consumers, and Digital Marilyn showcases artificial intelligence “Our very own biology, bringing a distinctive character to life through engaging dialogue and emotional intelligence. It’s more than just nostalgia, it’s a glimpse into the future of immersive interactions.”
Digital Marilyn isn’t just a robot spouting lines, it’s been designed to be as human-like as possible, meaning it can talk to you like a real person, and it can even change its responses based on what you say.
Dana Carpenter, of Authentic Brands Group, says Marilyn Monroe will always be special, but with digital Marilyn, people can connect with her in a new way. It’s not about replacing the real Marilyn, she said, but about keeping her memory alive in the digital world.
“Marilyn Monroe remains a timeless icon, inspiring generations with her talent, charisma and lasting legacy, and we are thrilled to partner with Soul Machines, whose cutting-edge technology is the perfect choice to bring Marilyn to life in the age of artificial intelligence,” said Dana Carpenter, Executive Vice President of Entertainment at Authentic Brands Group. While Marilyn Monroe can never be replaced or duplicated, Digital Marilyn opens up exciting possibilities for multiple generations of fans to engage with her in a whole new way, fostering a deeper connection and appreciation for her enduring spirit and the mark she left on the world.
Imagine sitting down and chatting with Marilyn Monroe, asking her questions, and hearing her answers, that’s what Digital Marilyn lets you do, and it’s not just for old fans, it’s for anyone who wants to experience a piece of history in a whole new way.
