Thanks to the development of artificial intelligence, if a rich man's wife dies, the rich man will create a virtual wife. It is to use artificial intelligence technology to build a robot, implant the voice of the rich man's wife in it, and even have a simple conversation with the rich man. So, why is there a virtual person?
Human beings have a finite lifespan, and after death, they leave this world. And for the living relatives, it is a kind of concern. The dead don't think, and the soul doesn't know it, but it's a great sorrow for the living. The living who can't let go will think about it, and they will look at the **or** of their deceased relatives and cry silently. If you can use artificial intelligence technology to recreate a dead relative, with the same voice and smile as the deceased relative, it will play a certain role in comforting the living, temporarily or permanently alleviate the thoughts of the deceased, and let the living come out of grief. Just like the elderly who are not with their children want to have a pet dog, they can use a pet dog instead of the children, or even call the pet dog son or daughter, so as to achieve the effect of empathy. Transfer your feelings for your child to your pet dog, and you can talk about it. You can comfort yourself by transferring your feelings for your deceased loved ones to the robots.
However, robots are not real humans after all, but a product of artificial intelligence. Today's artificial intelligence has not developed to the extent that it is shown in science fiction films, but is an initial stage, although it can have a simple conversation with people, but it can never think like a human, nor can it really be equated with a human. A rich man can create a virtual person and have a robot replace his dead wife. Ordinary people can't be a virtual person like that, but empty melancholy. But ordinary people can shift their attention to other people, to pets, to labor, to sightseeing, and after a long time, they will let go. Sooner or later, you have to let go, so why bother thinking about it?
After all, you have to let go, and if you can't let go, it will become a heart disease, and even become the reason for suicide, and you have to go "over there" to follow your dead relatives. Then, it is very necessary to make a virtual loved one, which can relieve grief, at least relieve anxiety, and not commit suicide. So, virtual relatives are not real relatives, but they are regarded as real relatives, are people deceiving themselves?Self-deception, of course. People know the world very differently, that is, people and people know the world differently. After people are born, they are influenced by the surrounding environment and people, and their perception of the outside world is one-sided, or in other words, the world that people perceive is one-sided and not comprehensive. When people begin to understand the world, they always have a distinct personal imprint, not without a mark. And the imprint of this kind of understanding itself is not reliable, but some one-sided understanding, one-sided stimulation. It can be said that the world that people recognize is a subjective world, not an objective world. The so-called objective world is only a world in which many people have formed a consensus, and it is not a purely objective world.
The subjective world and the objective world have a certain relativity, and they are not absolute. People will see the world as their subjective mirror image, see themselves in the world, or invest the spirit of the subject into the world, and they will find their own world. Or rather, living in your own world. After all, the world is multi-layered, rich, and even far beyond the level of human cognition. Human beings can only know the limited world, but not the whole world. As a result, human beings are only limited to the world of recognition, seeing what they like to see in the world, and often turning a blind eye to what they don't like. Consciousness has been screened, and only the things you like are selected to know, and you can only form a one-sided understanding. If you think about it at a deeper level, you will find that people live in the world they know, and even live in their own experience.
Human beings live in their own world, and project their consciousness into the world, and even virtualize a world, virtualizing many people, because the understanding of the world and others is a subjective understanding, and the so-called objective understanding is only a relatively objective understanding, not an absolute objective understanding. However, most people do not feel it, do not know that they are living in their own subjective world, but think that they are living in the objective world. When the world is gone, and when the others are gone, people will fall into despair because they have lost their subjective spiritual counterpart, lost the mirror image of the subjective spirit. As a result, the world is there, others are there, and all kinds of spiritual counterparts are available, and people will live in the virtual world, talk and live with virtual people, and they will not feel lonely.
If you get a person's brain out, soak it in a nutrient solution, and stimulate the nerves with a microcurrent, it will make the brain have a certain hallucination, thinking that living in the real world, will not know that all thoughts are just the result of current stimulation, let alone that the brain has been soaked in the nutrient solution, but it cannot dominate the body. That is, our world is virtual, and the people around us are also virtual people. It doesn't matter if you're a virtual person, it's not a big deal. Even if it's just a search for a spiritual counterpart to replace the dead, there's nothing wrong with that. It's as if a person with two children dies and pours all his love into the other. Feelings will shift, they will change, they will pour out into some people or things. Even people will transfer their feelings to the trees and flowers without feelings, and virtualize the personified trees and flowers, and feel that the world is full of human feelings.
In fact, everyone is virtual objective things, and at the same time, they are virtual people in the consciousness of others. Perhaps, people should re-examine the world and themselves. At the very least, from the perspective of a virtual person, he can see the truth of the world, see his own limitations, and see the absurdity and ridiculousness of life.
