It's funny that in most SF, they consider the brain the only things to copy to be a person.
But given we have neurons in the heart and guts, that the chemicals we have it our body and the digestive activity affect our behavior and that discover everyday that a lot of "us" is actually made up of alien micro-organism taking a role in almost every parts of our daily lifes, including hormones management - a crucial piece of our reaction puzzles - I think it's far from realistic.
I can't wait to see the first people uploading their brain in a machine, only to discover that:
- A, it's just a copy, not them;
- B, the copy is not nearly close to the original;
- C, they feel that they are missing something but they can't express it because the missing thing helped them defining it.
I swear, we geeks love to solve perfect problems with perfect solutions.
Like the joke of the physicist that can cure a chicken, but only if the chicken is a perfect sphere in a frictionless vacuum.
- circlefavshape 9y agoYes! Pretty much all SF and AI woo ignores the fact that humans are ecosystems, and not brains driving a machine
