I hadn't really thought much

Posted on Thu, 05 Sep 2024

I hadn't really thought much about this kind of memory inducing AI until I have read your piece, but it is a very challenging idea. Will we enhance our memories of the person by doing this? or find it a way of keeping touch with familiar loved...

Posted on Sun, 01 Sep 2024
