AI-powered intelligent VR dinner party guests
Jesus! You’ill soon be able to invite AI generated people from history and use ChatGPT and Virtual Reality to have a conversation with them – what would Jesus say? What would you tell him about his current followers? Probably the best dinner party you could ever host – who would you invite?
Gawd, meeting a pretend Jesus would be enough to flip many of his followers out – living with him could actually ruin your faith, if he failed to clean up after himself – so yeah, Jesus, but just for intelligent conversation over a meal sounds good.
Jesus, Muhammad, Buddha and probs Zeus. Could be awkward, which would make it a bit more fun.
Heh, like it. In Kant’s view dining alone is bad for a philosopher: it encourages ‘intellectual self-gnawing’ that leads to a lack of vitality. Eating with at least one other companion, on the other hand, allows for a good interchange of ideas.
Didn’t he also say that a duty to secrecy is essential – in order to bring about the free exchange of ideas? Sounds contradictory according to his other dinner party rules.
Suppose your robot or vr guests don’t have to be dead already – So in that case, you could just have a cheaper version than you can in reality. Though, “free” exchange of ideas costs more than free if you want to dine with kings, queens and the almighty Stephen Fry.
