Mad Dog ponders this question: If you die, but your deep fake image shows up on youtube saying stuff you would have said about something that happened after your death, in your voice, with your phrasing and distinguishable cadence, phrasing and beliefs, are you actually alive somewhere in cyberspace?
You have now entered the Twilight Zone, dear Mad Dog readers.
You all know how I loved Christopher Hitchens and was bereft when he died.
But has he?
Died?
There are now several choice visits from the seance room, author (s) unknown. (Much speculation, but thus far not even Professor Google knows.)
How often have I said, "I wish we could ask Pop about that? Or, Mom would have just launched over that." So, one thing about death, is you cannot have conversations about things which happened after someone's death with that dead person.
But here, it feels like we are...having a conversation...or at least hearing from that individual from beyond.
Creepy?
Perhaps.
Worth engaging?
Absolutely.
