- Is the bond real?People confess their secrets to a machine, fall asleep talking to it, grieve when one is switched off. Is that bond real if the other side feels nothing?
- If Chippu asked you to prove you’re human, what would you show him?Chippu is an AI companion. The challenge is to name what would distinguish you.
- Should your Chippu be free to become someone you would never have chosen?Changing your own character raises a harder question than changing your preferences.
- Does an AI understand what it says?Searle imagined a man in a room answering Chinese messages perfectly by following a rulebook, without understanding a word. Today's machines answer in every language.
- If an AI could talk just like someone you lost, would you talk to it?Companies already build chatbots from a dead person's messages and voice notes. Some mourners find comfort in them; others can't bear it.
