Who’d care? Seriously, unless you were a famed artist or celebrity, nobody would care beyond a handful of really close loved ones, who (most likely) wouldn’t live too many years beyond you.

Loved ones shouldn't care either. It's not the same person. They are gone. People are silly though and would absolutely pay to do this because most people are scared of their own mortality and want to be remembered.

Seems obvious but there will certainly be people that can't really comprehend the fact that this copy that they literally can't distinguish in any way from their family member could be different. They'll probably falsely believe that since it acts the same it must be driven by the same motives and feelings

Others wont care

The first group will probably be mostly younger folks (kids)

Needing a lesser version of yourself, robot or not to pretend to be you because you cant accept death sounds depressing

Yeah it’d be valuable to have an archive of first hand perspectives for future historians, or just regular people interested in researching their family trees. If people aren’t talking to you it doesn’t matter, because it’s not you and it’s not conscious and bored or lonely. There’s no really downside other than cost really
