Yeah I agree that this might secretly be the same as a question about uploads.
If you’re only trying to copy human behavior in a coarse-grained way, you immediately run into a huge generalization problem because your human-imitation is going to have to make plans where it can copy itself, think faster as it adds more computing power, can’t get a hug, etc, and this is all outside of the domain it was trained on.
So if people aren’t being very specific about human imitations, I kind of assume they’re really talking and thinking about basically-uploads (i.e. imitations that generalize to this novel context by having a model of human cognition that attempts to be realistic, not merely predictive).

That’s why it imitates a household of people.
