I remember having a thought of 'what if' when my old man died, before all this took off with A.I, what if there was a way to do this very thing, would I? Would it be right? It would be nice to hear him again speak new words
Well, no, it's not them is it..
A couple of months back my wife's favourite cat died, she was besotted with him (He was a great old boy), last weekend we talked about him, I asked 'If you could clone him, would you do it'? No, she said, it wouldn't be him. His lived life made him, the clone wouldn't have lived the same life..
Which is true.
I think what we're seeing with all this is people not being able to let go of things like we've had to through millenia. The type of things that made you hardy, facts you just have to deal with, hard truths
The pain and upset of such things are being offloaded onto untruths. A fake reality
The
really weird thing about all this, when you think about it, does it have the endgame power to subjugate the fear of death itself?
If the technology gets so good that you personally knew there would be a continuous A.I version of your very being, would anyone be as scared of dying?
Or.. is this just an infantile childlike thinking that we can bring back those who don't exist for our own morbid lack of not letting go..
Strange times indeed.
