In the first article “Speak, Memory,” Casey Newton writes about how Eugenia Kuyda creates an artificial intelligence program, after her close friend dies, that allows one to text a bot mimicking her friend. This is relevant today because this is the technology of my future; it creates a way for someone to potentially stay alive forever, but also “enables people to hide from their grief,” perhaps encouraging an unhealthy grieving process (Newton). In the second article “Ever After,” Miles Klee writes about the different ideas people have on how to escape death, whether it be in reality or in fantasy. Klee furthers by discussing the issues in the concept of living forever, such as how “death is what gives life shape,” and how capitalism has shaped these ideas (Klee). This relates to my experience because while I find these ‘paths to immortality’ fascinating and of course don’t want to die myself, I don’t think it’s reasonable for us to live only for the sake of living.
