re: #302 Aunty Entity Dragon

That is exactly how she (Samantha) went on dates with Theodore. But lack of body aside…how do you keep a relationship together with a being whose intelligence and omniscience begins to become Godlike while her ability to experience space/time like you is dwindling away due to her processing capability approaching infinity? That is the essence of the Singularity.

It actually became heartbreaking.

It’s fantasy. It’s how our illusions play out into mental illness. AI is not, and could never be, “The Other” with which we engage, unless you believe technology is something to invest your entire being in to the exclusion of living, breathing humans which you have reduced to pure animal status, even though the human brain is what is bringing us that technology. There is just no balance in that kind of scenario.

If it were ever realized, it would be narcissism writ larger than we have ever seen.
