RE: Using Virtual Reality for a painful goodbye

in Project HOPE6 years ago

My regards, brother @pedrobrito2004.

Ethical limits are touched again with the implementation of AI.

How far will the advancement of this technology go?

Aspects that exceed physical contact are being addressed. The medical processes assisted with AI and VR remain highly questioned today. Perhaps because it is so invasive, then to think that a machine will decide where and how to make an incision in a human brain, provokes encounter of opinions and feelings.

But this issue you bring us today, I think it goes much further.
Here the people's psyche is invaded. The feelings. the thoughts. Creating memories based on something unreal.

We should ask ourselves: How far does reality go? What makes something real for us?

Many times we had a dream and woke up feeling it was a reality. Then everything is in our brain. In those small chemical connections that occur.

Fascinating topic!

Thanks for the comment.

Certainly ethical aspects are problematic, even if this technology is used as part of a treatment or therapy to fight mourning.

By the way, the questioning about reality led me to old memories of the classic movie Matrix and Morpheus' speech about the real hahaha, well I also remembered that at that time I remembered the discussions about the deceits of the human senses among materialist philosophers and idealist philosophers ... "reality" may be a construction we make between what we perceive and what our social group accepts as real.
