I guess that we should look back at what immortality meant to the past masters, artists and ancient civilities. Everyone of them had their own point of view but we could agree that their referred to some types of decisions, actions or works that would have been able to say something great about them, building a legacy able to stand the passage of time in this world. This whole concept is tied to their human experience in creating something able to speak about them for them, something recognisable, something tangible.
Somehow I think that the time capsule that you are buidling for your children will be much more worthy that a digital copy of yourself hanging around home as this might not be under your control anymore. Plus you are choosing what to leave to them. Choice is the key and delegate this to a digital self will be always, somehow, limited and unauthentic.
And this brings back us to think again about how autenticity is gaining a new value, and how what we do is connected to what we are.
Lorenzo, couldn't agree more. The more AI becomes mainstream and takes care of the more functional activities - including documenting our key moments - the more adding a personal emotional (human) layer makes all the difference.
