Yes, Revelation Space had alphas (which were illegal if I remember correctly) and betas (which were less capable but legal)

GPT-4 thinks it's "The Quantum Thief" by Hannu Rajaniemi or "Glasshouse" by Charles Stross.
Correct ?

Nope, I confirmed it's Revelation Space :) I haven't read either of those, though I have liked other works of Stross's!
(I never considered using GPT-4 as a book recommendation engine... Curious how well that'd work.)

The idea of "recreating" historical personas in sci-fi is very old, and the issue with accuracy has also been raised early. One that comes to my mind in particular is this one from 1950s, although the artificial personality is technically not an AI (it's hosted in a human brain):
I can't for the life of me remember the name of the novel though... I'll have to go digging through my bookshelves later.
(Maybe Revelation Space, by Alistair Reynolds...?)
