Will Turing Machines Of Dead People Fill Up Web?

So that you would know for certain you're in Hades..................

You know what is really creepy? When you get automated emails from dead people.

I just read a SF short story where in a dystopian future during a big famine, people pay to transfer their identity to the web and kill off their human form. I wonder if that will ever happen. Would Stephen Hawkins want to enter such a world?
