Copy all you like!

 SF looks and movies about making a digital uploaded copy of a human or about good/evil AI often assume a single instance copy is some sort of universal rule… why? I assume it mostly has to do with it being impractical to tell a story where the main character suddenly spins of into billions of copies …. it would be quite hard to follow the story after this.

However, there is no such universal rule - the low cost of producing copies once a DL model is trained and sufficiently good for the task is key to the success, No need to educate people for the task and, more importantly no need to educate new people when. your needs increase or current staff leaves. I can also spread to all areas where it is useful - a model for detecting intruding “killer snails” is quite costly to develop but once it is done it can be used wherever there is a fear of them enterings and gardens… (I really need a better example here :)
