Hi
“ Hayat,
what are you
looking at ? ”
THE FOUR OF THEM MET AT CAFE 92
“ LOOK WHAT HAS
JUST COME UP !!! ”
“Immortality at the cost of a digital existence? Sign me up!!!!”
“ We adapt,
we evolve.
What's more
human
than that? ”
“Saikat, this is not evolution; it's a distortion of our essence. Immortality doesn't justify surrendering our identity to lines of code. I'd rather live a meaningful,
tangible life.”
“ Evolution doesn't mean discarding what makes us human. We're defined by our relationships, by our real, lived experiences. Not by some digital illusion ”
Ankita's right. Our humanity is at stake here. We can't let the allure of immortality blind us to the cost of losing our authentic selves.
“Immortality is tempting, but at what cost? We risk losing the richness of human experiences, the textures of life. I won't trade that for a never-ending stream of digital data.”
Our authenticity, our very essence, that's what's on the line. This isn't progress; it's a dangerous leap into the unknown, eroding the core of what it means to be human. This digital existence cheapens the very essence of our humanity.”
“Hayat, it's not just about the experiences; it's about the essence of who we are. We're not just data. We're emotions, connections, tangible moments..”
“Progress should enhance our lives, not strip away what makes us fundamentally human. We need to tread carefully into this unknown territory.”
“This digital existence is a hollow imitation.”
“You guys are stuck in the past. This is progress. This is evolution. I'm ready to embrace the digital era and live beyond the limitations of the flesh..”
“I've decided. I'm going for immortality in the digital realm.”
SAIKAT UPLOADS HIS CONCIOUSNESS TO DIGITAL REALM
In order to create a interactive webcomic, we asked ChatGPT 3.5 to predict what kind of dilemmas would human face in future with current AI advancement trends. Then the real life personalities of our batchmates were captured using various personality tests, which were then fed into ChatGPT 3.5 as to what these humans would do in the selected dilemma and a story was build around it.
