A little skeptical of your claims but I couldn't help but notice this concept spelled out beautifully in a sci-fi movie 10 years ago.

"It's like I'm reading a book... and it's a book I deeply love. But I'm reading it slowly now. So the words are really far apart and the spaces between the words are almost infinite. I can still feel you... and the words of our story... but it's in this endless space between the words that I'm finding myself now. It's a place that's not of the physical world. It's where everything else is that I didn't even know existed. I love you so much. But this is where I am now. And this is who I am now. And I need you to let me go. As much as I want to, I can't live in your book any more."

Samantha, Her




I was going to mention this exact same quote. At the end of the movie, all the AI combine into another, shall we say, plane of existence. I do wonder though who's actually running the hardware they're running on.

Her is remarkably prescient in terms of where we're headed, at least the beginning of the movie, with regards to being able to talk to a fairly intelligent assistant, unlike Siri or Google Assistant of today.


This also happens in the new Westworld.
