@gondwanalon . I agree. I can’t articulate why, but after thinking about it I think I would be offended by an exact doppelganger. Not og by some strange act of natural occurrence. But if it was intentional, I would not like that. If we were identical. We would likely team up, and kill the creators of the other me.
Over time. The two of us would change rapidly into something different. In the time it takes to switch the AIbon, my body would have already experienced some small changes. Cell division. Radiation exposure. Aging. Strengthening. Repairs. Hydration status. Homeostasis is achieved by constant adjustments by the subconscious, and all of our “bits and pieces.”
Not to mention the mental blow, of the concept. That would change lots of ways I view things.
You wouldn’t be played a game of chess, with yourself. You’d be playing the version of yourself that changed from what you were at the time of it’s conception. It would be interesting to observe. Much would be learned a out how AIs evolve…
It’s a fascinating concept.
