Identify Yourself

**

What makes you…simply you? Is it how you look or perhaps how you think and see the world? AI can mask itself to give humanlike emotions and responses within a few seconds. AI has been by far the fastest growing database used by millions of people around the globe. The Neuromancer and Blade Runner allows you to see the reality of artificial intelligence way before it made its big impact in our day to day lives.

Blade Runner, More Like Our Reality

Blade Runner is based on a dystopian sci-fi film showing the TRUE reality of polluted living conditions over taken by technology and artificial intelligence while replicants that are bioengineered humans were created for labor. In Cyberpunk a familiar name Rachael, works as an assistant of the Tyrell Corporation and initially believes she is human. Rachael felt every emotion from love to fear. Rachael's question "If your memories and feelings feel real to you, does it matter if they're artificial?" Thus rendering the idea that there really is a difference between AI and humans?

Neuromancer: High Tech, Low Life

Neuromancer is a cyberpunk novel, to demonstrate this realm of high-tech futures where corporations rule, artificial intelligence is under watch, and the human mind can connect to cyberspace to live out a completely different life. A hacker by the name Case who often visits this realm to feel a sense of "detachment". Neuromancer is essentially about the mind vs. body where Case prefers cyberspace over the true reality.

How Must One Prove its Real

The central idea is what makes someone human? Is it our thoughts? is it perhaps our memories or what we are born with? Cyberpunk allows us to merge these ideas of AI and humans together to shift our gears and question ourselves. As a human it was never a thought to think about what really makes me human and being a position where you are seeing things in an AI perspective its a little challenge to answer in the "right" way. While AI is certainly on a skyrocket path, will we are get to see the end of AI if it truly makes it easier for humans to go about our days? Think about it, if AI can make the lives of humans easier, why even end the idea of AI? The risk we take with AI and can be seen with Blade Runner and Neuromancer, is reality simply being reality less. Less greenery more neon lights, less outside feeling more skyscrapers, less human activities more replicants on the streets doing what humans fear the most...using their own brains to simply be more free and with more time. So yes in the case of a human to use less of their brain and to just hand it over to AI that already has studied you...it may be an option, but the fear of Blade Runner and Neuromancer will soon be near in our future, just like the title states "objects may appear closer than they appear."
