Integral form Turing test: could an AI trained on broad zeitgeist data generate a plausible version of your autobiography?

Lately I’ve been marveling at the extent to which 99% of us are products of the reigning cliches of our times. I’m basically a procedurally generated zeitgeist bot same as most of you. A bit of birth data and AI would generate the main points of my life story in < 1000 tries.

Psychohistory is possible. The more compute you throw at it, the fewer the Mules that don’t pop out of the model.

I like this follow up. I think I can say that the biography such an AI would make for me would miss a lot of the specifics, even if broad strokes were captured - but only because I keep getting myself into zeitgeist defying trouble. I might prefer the non-specific version though.
