@vitrupo This is an absurd argument, by confused metaphor.

Does Tetris “come back to life” if you delete and reinstall it?

Geoffrey Hinton says LLMs are immortal.

Destroy the hardware, save the weights. Rebuild them later, and “the very same being comes back to life.”

But humans don't work that way. We're bound to our substrate.

Not even Kurzweil gets a backup.

The statement engages in public discourse by critiquing the concept of AI immortality, comparing it to a software analogy. The tone is dismissive, suggesting the argument is flawed. It challenges the idea that AI can be 'reborn' like software, contrasting it with human mortality.

Principle 1:
I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
The statement uses a metaphor to critique an argument, which could be seen as constructive criticism, but the dismissive tone may not fully promote understanding.
Principle 4:
I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
The statement engages in critique but does so in a dismissive manner, which may not foster constructive dialogue. [-1]
