It's a fascinating proposition but I see a couple of issues with it:

1. Most of us do not have the volume of training material that gwern has 2. Most people likely would not need this functionality (as I understand it to be)

For #1 I'm sure there are ways to wring data out of metadata (e.g., youtube history log), and I'm guessing email and IMs would be a start. But a clone of yourself -- that would be a significant amount of extrapolation)

For #2, there's obviously people that would love this functionality (myself included). But I think its safe to assume that most of the population would be satisfied with having a capable digital personal assistant that knew your needs and wants.
