AI avatars of the deceased? Nah. That is so morbid and creepy and wrong imho **shivers** and as a believer in souls and reincarnation, it’s not them, it’s never them, its not their voices. Who wants a fake version of a loved one? This is just how we want it to be, gotta just accept man. And I’d say you’ll meet them again on the other side and we do live forever but I know not everybody believes. In my perspective, I’d rather live my life to its natural end, go back to the “source”, then live my next life. Btw, no one can definitely say *yes* or *no* yet to whether consciousness is only a product of the brain or something more.

@infinitemonkey917 sounds a little paranoid, but good one. It’s one of those things you have to see to believe, you know? An anti-radar dragon on my roof tho, no 😄

Having lost my mum only 4 months ago. Death is something, that once you witness it fundamentally changes who you are. It’s bad enough with how your own mind processes it, let alone creating avatars. It’s difficult enough on what to do with someone’s worldly possessions such as clothes, shoes, jewelry etc let alone create artificial connections that I think would create unending grief.

You will never ever be able to recreate someone with AI. Maybe your perception of the person, but nobody is ever truly their true self to anyone. You can tell me you know someone better than yourself and I will never believe you.

I recently had a sugeny and was put on anastatic. I _ONLY_ remembered the events up to the point when I was talking with the anesthesiologist TWO hours BEFORE the operation. When I “woke up” it felt like coming out of a “Blank” state as I remembered absolutely NOTHING nor pain despite the fact I have THREE covered holes in my body. The first thing that came to my mind: HOW NICE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN to die while under anesthesia? There was NO PAIN, NO DREAMS, NO Astral projection, NO feelings or awareness of ANY KIND. Just two hours of PURE stillness.

The cryo-preservation stuff is interesting and only history will have the final say on whether it was a good idea or not, but the rest of this — people interacting with half-assed AI versions of the dead — is just mental-illness-promoting nonsense. Your family member is dead. You playing with a database about them isn’t a replacement.

The subject is interesting, but if the video opens with an introduction to what cryogenics is and there’s no chapters so I have to look for when the video actually starts, then I’m out. I don’t need yet another introduction just to hear someone’s opinion about it, just link me to the chapter that actually says something new.

Perhaps good for therapeutic purposes helping people handle grief, or some sort of closure, but overall I find this a terrible idea.

It’s not your loved one. It’s fake. It’s fictional. It’s unhealthy for the same reason visiting “mediums” is unhealthy. It’s someone fabricating artificial interaction with a person who is no longer alive. It’s a con. It’s dishonest.
