The Show Must Go On.
But when the public persona can be captured by a look-alike behave-alike speak-alike product of the AI's imagination, or even perchance by a real clone, it behoves us all to be aware of the possibility (ie: downright certainty) that all is not as it seems, particularly when the character is performing out of character.
We seem to have seen a lot of that lately.
Even in ancient Greece, Socrates was wont to declaim that "the only thing I know is that I know nothing". We know the feeling.
Did they have clones in those days? We are told that they had neither TV nor internet, so hiding inappropriate behaviour may have been simpler, but there again, I'd bet that the ancient rumour-mill would have been working well enough, even if at a more leisurely pace than today.
But enough chit-chat - on with the show!
