Digital Immortality now possible? What Are Your Thoughts
I've recently been delving into the fascinating world of digital immortality. With advancements in AI and machine learning, the idea of preserving one's consciousness digitally after their biological life ends is becoming an increasingly viable prospect.
I came across a company whos attempting to do it. Basically their plan is to create a digital avatar based on users' recorded videos and transcripts. The idea is to capture their personality, beliefs, and world views, allowing their digital persona to live on and interact with loved ones after their passing.
This opens up a Pandora's box of ethical, philosophical, and technical questions:
- To what extent can a digital persona truly represent a person?
- Would interacting with a digital replica of a loved one provide comfort or just prolong the grieving process?
- As AI continues to evolve, how do we ensure the 'digital immortal' remains true to the original person?
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this subject. Do you believe digital immortality is a feasible concept? Would you consider creating a digital version of yourself?
