Philosophy

Suppose you have a loved one who just passed away. Also suppose that there is a company out there that can upload every single thing that your loved one has ever said and done on social media onto a computer, and then transfer all of that into a synthetic clone of your loved one. Over time, this clone learns more and more about the past life you shared with your loved one, and gradually becomes indistinguishable in speech, mannerisms and memory from your deceased loved one. Will we be able to say at some point that this clone has now become your loved one? Or is there always a difference between the two? If so, what would this difference be?
