      The fact that it's something very feasible today makes it spookier. The more futuristic episodes affect you less

        I mean, let's be honest; this'll almost certainly feel like chatting to one of these Eliza chatbots from the 90s. The illusion you're talking to anything else than software will probably last a single minute, if that.

          Fair, everyone knows it's not real but I think a few might still get addicted to the illusion like the main character of that episode if it's convincing enough with deepfake imagery and all that. Grief can make you mad

    The future of humanity in the future is complete social isolation, with humans not going outside except for the necessities, working all life and being kept docile by bread and circuses

    I thought the idea of AI becoming so advanced that it could imitate the dead seemed cool. I neglected the moral considerations to come to this conclusion. For one, you could have leaders with 99.9% the same decision making prowess as when they were alive. And then you could go to a graveyard and get a pretty high fidelity chatbot/voice chat/hologram that would behave like the dead person. You could get a little-little taste of what that person was like so you could say "I miss you" or ask for advice. Otherwise, you could like go around a graveyard and meet people who died for a sick thrill.

    But then in the even more super distant future. You could have two deaths: one where your physical self dies and the other when your AI gets disconnected. Your AI consciousness is so high fidelity that for all intents and purposes, it's you operating a cyborg with cloud storage of your mind backed up every 24h in case the cyborg is damaged.

    IDK it was fun to think about
