I don't recall the guy's name. I don't even know what to google to find a link for you, but several years ago I came across an article of a man who did something similar to what you are talking about but as a Chat Bot (it was well before ChatGPT was public).

He did a large number of interviews with his dying father over the course of a year. Then he transposed all the questions and answer from those interviews into a database (i think). And built a Chat bot that used natural language to 'talk' with him after his father passed away to preserve his father in a virtual way. THe bot could answer random questions (not the interview questions) and form answers in the 'voice' and 'tone' of his dad bases on the hundreds or thousands of questions he'd asked in those interviews. It could create new answers based on all that data as if the father was texting his son.

I know that the article (or series of articles) I read about this was pretty detailed in how the man went about this. I'm sorry I can't recall where I read this.

I am sure there is a way to do something much more in depth now that ChatGPT is as robust as it is.
