“Listen, let’s maybe do it differently. Imagine, I have 5 thousand — or however
many, I don’t know — hours of my video clips from 2010 to the present day
from YouTube, a whole archive of clips. I have more than 30 books, I have
a whole mountain of audio recordings with a crazy volume over the last 7
years. And if all this information is poured into an artificial intelligence and
it is trained with this information, I will create my own digital clone, my own
mirror. Or rather, I will create myself — this hero of the book, but virtual —
and he will think only within the framework of “Alternative History,” that is,
within the framework of the novel “Alternative History.” And every reader
will be able to communicate with this book character, even I, and I will be
able to keep adding information and further developing him. And then I saw
the future: that even now they are doing this, and all the stars and bloggers
— naturally, in the first place, all the upstarts — but also artists, will do this.
And everyone who has the money for it, and who is more savvy, will all create
these clones of theirs now. These clones will develop; over time, not only
voice and text, your thinking, manner of communication, character, and
all that will be uploaded there, but also the entire visual aspect — that is,
in a video image. And your personal clone will be created. Further, the state
will register this, control all of it; it will be very serious and official. Then in
all social networks, the possibility will appear for this artificial, your own
intelligence to be integrated everywhere, like an avatar for you, a robot, and
so on and so forth. That is the future I saw. I don’t know, maybe in the end I
won’t publish it all and won’t give it life, but the programmers are already
working on it — that is, I have already given the go-ahead to do all of this. But
considering my way of thinking, I take all the nuances into account; you have to
be very clever to correctly create this clone. And the first thing I noted, I told
the programmers: “If you simply dump all my information in there but don’t
set the linear time, my age, and the fact that at every age, at different times,
I wrote different books — if you don’t record this now, then when a person
communicates with this, let’s say, clone of mine, the clone might answer
now by referring to books from fifteen years ago. But that is my thinking of
fifteen years ago, and the clone, the artificial intelligence, must understand
this — that I grew, and my understanding of the world, which I shared
through all my books, it changed, became more detailed, and was perfected.
