Social media companies should offer an option to delete one’s account completely. Platforms such as Facebook, etc. doesn’t take long to see why they wouldn’t want to do that. Just try deleting Facebook. It doesn’t go away, you just can’t access it anymore.

It is important to note that that all is based on digital data. Are recreations based on social media reflect the true personality of the subscriber? AI interpolation operates on the premise that the farmed data is valid. I believe advances in technology will have a tremendous effect extending life via AI, but it is not the answer to man’s quest for immortality.

All this discussion about memories and how AI could use them to answer to questions after the death of someone made me think about an anime called Steins;Gate 0 that covers this possibility in a really interesting way.
In my opinion, this is frightening but also really impressive and somewhat beautiful

she doesn’t know his phone pin
*what do we do?*
*how do you unlock an iPhone of a deceased person just to log in to a bank acc, a credit card, a bill*
when today just to log into a credit card you need secondary codes to prove it’s not being hacked

Computers won’t be able to mimic a person entirely, no matter what memories it stores, because humans are too unpredictable. Its not just our data or memories that impact our behavior, its our mood, its our emotions, our fears, our inhibitions, our randomness, our humor, our personal growth, etc. So an AI will never be able to become your loved one. For scientists to think they can in any way replicate consciousness is quite arrogant and lacks the understanding of what consciousness is. A question science has failed to answer. Lets answer that question first, before we begin to pretend we know how to capture it.

We’re really close, I adore them and worry about what would happen if I died. It would be nice to know there was a version of me out there to let them know I love them and will do forever.

The AI chatbot somehow reminds me of that mortician episode where he explained why there is no taxidermy for humans, because you would notice all the small details that were done wrong and this mass of wrong details would either land you in the uncanny valley, or result in a completely different person. IMO, a chatbot with currently collectable data would still be very inaccurate when it comes to details. If you have lived together with someone for a long amount of time, you will have some microbehaviors that are unique to your relationship. The AI will have a hard time recreating those, unless you were under full surveillance all this time and every second of that were used as training data.

To me this Form of science is a waste. While I understand it. It feels like it would be more fruitful to progress science of cell regeneration and controlling the entire human bodily process through a machine without issue. If that’s done. We can take someone’s brain, and place it in a machine or droid like body. That would be the true preservation. At that point we ideally would live infinitely as long as the machine could be maintained and/or exchanged. All we are is a brain. The rest of us is the machine. Just a biological one.
