Abstract

This study investigates the potential of artificial intelligence as a tool for contemplating human mortality, focusing on the personification of AI and the creation of 'artificial immortality' through persona chatbots. These personalized AI chatbots, prioritizing engagement and emotional satisfaction, offer immersive experiences beyond mere information. 'Dadbot', a chatbot modeled on a deceased father, facilitates an interactive memoir, allowing a son to interact with his father’s digital persona, thus achieving a form of artificial immortality. Similarly, 'Young Michelle', a chatbot programmed with childhood diary entries, enables users to converse with a representation of their past selves, embodying artificial immortality by existing perpetually in the time frame of the diary’s creation. While these chatbots demonstrate the potential to extend human experience beyond life’s physical limitations and linear time, they also expose risks of post-truth regression, where illusions can overpower reality, and perception can be distorted by biased data feedback.
