I'm not sure I agree with you a hundred percent on your police work, there, Lou. We're talking plot lines, not implementation. And Episode 8 of Max Headroom (second episode of season 2) had that exact plot: chatbots made from dead people's personalities. And in an uncanny parallel to reality, they were crap.
In fact, the episode is a better match to the story than S1m0ne, because it's about simulating behaviour, not appearance.
