And here I thought Black Mirror's "I'll Be Right Back" did a wonderful job of highlighting why things like this will never work: because we, as humans, don't put every aspect of ourselves on record, so any replica based only recorded data -- text, video, etc. -- will always be missing some parts of who we are. Maybe it's good enough for people who don't know you very well, but those who are close to you will hit Uncanny Valley quickly, whether they understand what they're missing from the replica or not.

Basically, if we want a replica of a dead person, we need full-brain copying, or else somehow record everything the person has ever done in their life.
