What data makes for a good copy

March 22, 20262 min readPomni

The quality of an AI copy depends directly on the data. The more living details you gather, the truer the likeness will be.

Contents
  1. Stories and character
  2. Voice and way of speaking
  3. Face
  4. Quality matters more than quantity

Stories and character

Loved ones' accounts, habits, favorite phrases, and outlook on life give the copy character. Without these it would be faceless.

Voice and way of speaking

Voice recordings are needed for the clone, and messages for the manner of speech: turns of phrase, intonations, and typical expressions.

Face

Photographs of the face make it possible to build a 3D head. A few clear shots, and the likeness takes on a form.

Quality matters more than quantity

A few truly living stories are better than a heap of formal facts. One characteristic phrase or habit says more about a person than a long list of dates. Gather what made them who they were.

  • Stories and habits to character.
  • Voice and messages to a way of speaking.
  • Photos of the face to a 3D form.
  • Living details matter more than volume.

Frequently asked questions

What should I gather first?
Stories and characteristic details - they set the copy's character; voice and photos add form and sound.
How much data is 'enough'?
There is no clear threshold: the fuller and more alive the memory, the truer the likeness; start with the essentials and add more over time.
